I am a local meteorologist for the Upper Cumberlands of Tennessee. I absolutely love tracking and forecasting the weather for this region! It is certainly an interesting place for weather!
If you ever want to talk weather you have found an ear! I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy writing for it!
Flash flooding threatens much of the Deep South and southern Appalachians again today, with scattered showers and storms impacting much of the eastern U.S. High pressure is building into the central U.S. and that will continue to develop southward this week.

I’m looking forward to my visit to the Cumberland Child Care Center on Monday! I’ll be talking to the kiddos about the weather!
Also, I’ve got my fingers crossed for another NASA Social. NASA will be sending out nofications on Friday for those who are accepted to cover next months’s launch of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. I’m really hoping I get accepted. I’ll keep ya posted!
Bringing you your tailor-made local weather forecast since 2017!
5-Day Forecast
MM says…Nothing major on my radar this week. It’s a rather typical summer forecast!
You’ll notice the confidence bars under each day. The more darker blue you see, the more confident I am in that day’s forecast.
MM’s Weather Worries
Thankfully, I don’t foresee severe t-storms for the plateau this week. Any storm can, of course, be breifly strong, but widespread severe weather is certainly not expected.
That flash flooding threat would be greatest with any storm on Monday and Tuesday.
MM’s Wx Analysis
For Monday, our stalled out fronts and unstable atmosphere will continue to bring elevated chances for scattered showers and storms.
By Tuesday evening, that front sags south of our area and begins to wash out, as summer fronts do.
By the middle to end of the week, weak high pressure begins to take control, reducing our shower and storm chances.
The jetstream is way up in Canada this week, though it does dip into the New England area. By Tuesday, that active jet may bring an elevated risk for severe storms to New England.
Additional Analysis
There’s nothing to talk about in our tropics, so we have to go to the Pacific to find anything interesting. And it sure is interesting over there! They have five areas to watch in the coming days! These will have no impact on our weather.
El Nino is indeed rapidly strengthening! This could have implications for us as we go into the rest of summer and fall. It certainly ipacts the tropics. In the Pacific it makes for a more active season with all that hot water. In the Atlantic it makes for a much quieter season due to wind shear tearing storms apart.
New episodes will be coming this week! Stay tuned!
Lots of folks have seen lots of rain over the past week, while others haven’t seen as much. Such is the nature of summer’s scattered showers and storms.

Record setting heat is expected over the next several days across the West and through the northern Plains. Furthermore, fire weather concerns increase with dry and breezy conditions. Meanwhile, heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm threats for the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, central Appalachians and Southeast today. This includes the Cumberland Plateau, where flash flood watches remain in effect through Sunday evening.

Strong storms have been impacting parts of the plateau over the past hour. So far, nothing has been warned but some of you have been letting me know how noisy some of these storms are. More storms are moving toward the plateau and will be crossing the plateau over the next couple of hours. Frequent lightning is possible, as well as gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
Overall, the severe risk is low. Hopefully, we just get some rain! Additional scattered showers and storms are likely throughout the night. I’ll issue special updates, if needed.
Please stay alert to any watches or warnings that may be issued. And please stay tuned to any special updates that I may need to issue. You all take care!
Local matters, especially when it comes to your weather forecast!Bringing you your local weather since 2017!
