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!
A flash flood warning has now been issue for central Putnam County, including Cookeville and Algood, until 8:15 pm. A flahs flood warning remains for Cumberland County until 7:45 pm. The warned areas are shaded in green on the map below. Flood advisories (not as severe as a flash flood warning) are in effect for portions of Morgan and Bledsoe counties (areas shaded in blue).
More flash flood warnings are possible as we go through the evening. Plus, dangerous and very frequent cloud-to-ground lightning has been occurring with some of these storms (some houses have even been struck in the area).
You all be safe out there. Don’t drive across flooded roads, especially if you know the water is swiftly moving.
Other important weather information will be shared when needed. This includes additional severe weather information, model data, drought info, hurricane info, and more. Some of these can be found as tabs to this page at any time.

A flash flood warning has been issued for Cumberland County until 7:45. Heavy rainfall has impacted much of central Cumberland County this afternoon and flooding is being reported. Be safe if out and about.
Storms are also producing lots of dangerous lightning. If you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be struck.
The map below shows the warned areas, highlighted in green. The blue-shaded region in Morgan County is a flood advisory until 6:15 cdt.

In tonight’s weekly update, we’ll talk a lot about Tuesday’s severe storm risks, the system in the Gulf and what it means for us, and the potential for lower humidity the end of this coming week. Be sure and tune in!
MM says…Scattered shrs and storms continue to dominate the forecast. A front may bring severe storms on Tuesday but it also brings less humidity by Thursday!
Unsettled weather remains in place in our neck of the woods, as high humidity and hot afternoons work together to produce scattered shrs and storms.
Canadian wildfire smoke will push into the Midwest, worsening air quality. A frontal system brings severe storms from the Northern Plains to the Mid‑Atlantic the next few days. Heavy Gulf Coast rain is possible as we closely monitor tropical development, while monsoonal storms persist in the Southwest with heavy rainfall. Hazardous heat expands from the Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley.
The tropical system in the Gulf now has an 80% chance of becoming a tropical depression or low-end tropical storm. It now looks as if it will move more westward and impact coastal Lousiana, Alabama, and the panhandle of Florida. Guidance keeps it under 45 mph at its strongest.
The Crossville Airport is the official reporting station for the plateau.

Radar-Estimated Precip from Yesterday
Drought Conditions
This graphic is released to the public every Thursday.
Overall, much of the state improved with this update! Last week, 82% of our state was in drought. This week, only 55% of our state is in drought. That’s aa incredible improvement! Here on the plateau, results are mixed. Portions of our northern areas have been removed from drought, while other, including nearly all of Cumberland County, remain in severe drought.
Proudly contracted with Crossville City Fire & Rescue for important weather info. Thanks for trusting me with your weather since 2024, City Fire!

Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to give you all a quick heads up concerning a couple of complexes of t-storms that may impact our area overnight. These may weaken with the setting sun and not be an issue at all. However, there are plenty of reasons why they should hold together. I’m not expecting anything severe at this time. The first complex should arrive around midnight, with the only one coming a couple hours later (if both hold together). I just don’t want you to be alarmed if you hear thunder and see lightning overnight. After sunset, those of you who enjoy watching lightning from a distance might look north and see some of that in the coming hours. If you can’t hear thunder, you’re safe to watch the lightning.
Sunday afternoon’s weather map does a good job showing what I’m expecting. More scattered showers and storms will cover the radar once again (70% chance). Be aware of this if you need to be out and about on Sunday. I’ll keep an eye on things and keep you all posted!
If the need arises, I’ll issue any special updates, as needed.
Otherwise, I’ll have a full forecast update in the morning. I’ll see ya then!
