MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

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

Cooler temps continue through the weekend. Frost is likely Saturday night.

The next chance for rain arrives Tuesday afternoon/evening and especially overnight. That system will bring showers and storms to the area. It is unclear at this point if there will be a risk for severe storms.

Another sharp cool down is looking more likely around the 8th of May, which could mean more frost for the plateau. We’re not typically safe from frost until May 15, though we have had frost through the end of May. The latest frost on record is June 3, 1956 (33°).

Threat Outlook

The map below shows tornado warnings issued (not confirmed) per state for the month of April. Only six tornado warnings have been issued across the state of TN in April. That is remarkable! Look at the rest of the Southeast! Zero from Alabama to Virginia. Remarkable, indeed.

Today’s severe weather threats are confined to the northern beaches of the Gulf of Mexico, as well as mainly coastal regions of Texas.

MM’s Forecast for the Plateau

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

Cooler temps will be with us through the weekend, making for pleasant afternoons and chilly mornings. Scattered frost is likely Sunday morning.

The only chance for precip is the slightest risk for a shower Friday through Saturday. This is mainly for folks south of the interestate. It’s nothing to cancel outdoor plans over, for sure.

A more significant rain system may arrive the middle of next week. Fingers crossed for more rain!

MM’s Wed 5-Day: Turning Cooler w/ Frost by the Wkend

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.
