MM’s Level of Concern

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

This forecast is tailor-made for the Cumberland Plateau by Meteorologist Mark Baldwin each day!

Well, once again we we’ve been disappointed by the rain. Once again, a large area of rain (last night TWO large areas of rain) move toward us and then reach the plateau and …..pooof! That rain just disintegrates and leaves us with sprinkles.

Now, there’s no signficant chance for rain until the end of next week (hopefully by then!). So, the drought will worsen but thank goodness we got that good rain Monday night!

Now, it turns chilly! Temps will gradually decline as we go through the next several days, especially at night. By Saturday night, we’ll be looking at scattered frost.

Enjoy the chilly weather. We all know the heat of summer is just around the corner.

The Climate Prediction Center is eyeing a possible heavy rain threat the end of the first week of May.

Be sure to follow this site and/or download the free Meteorologist Mark app from your app store to get updates about the weather of the Cumberland Plateau sent to your phone as soon as I send them out. Thank you all so much!

The severe t-storm watch has been canceled early. Don’t be surprised if you hear thunder overnight, but the severe threat has diminished significantly.

You have a great night. Fingers crossed for another good soaking tonight!

Good evening, folks! I have good news. Actually, I have great news. Don’t be surprised if the severe t-storm watch is canceled early. Storms are doing a fantastic job behaving themselves as they move across western Middle TN. The storms do contain some lightning but nothing like last night’s storms did. The last storm reports with these storms were across western West TN, near the Mississippi River.

The Storm Prediction Center just issued a discussion and they mentioned they were noticing the weakening trend, as well. I would be surprised if they leave this watch up until 1:00 but that will be their decision, of course.

I’ll continue to monitor this but I’m starting to think we’ll just get some more much-needed rainfall.

I’ll keep an eye on things.

A severe t-storm watch has been issued until 1:00 a.m. The risk for us begins increasing after 9:00 pm and we’ll mainly be tracking a line of strong to severe storms as it crosses Middle TN. This line is expected to weaken through the evening but it could still be packing a punch when it arrives here later in the evening.

I’ll keep an eye on this and will issue updates later in the evening and as needed.

All the counties shaded in purple are in the severe t-storm watch. This includes the entire Upper Cumberland Region.

Keep in mind these times can change a bit if the line speeds up and/or slows down. Just keep an eye on those radars as the line approaches.
