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!
I also write weekly weather articles for the Fentress Courier and the Livingston Enterprise, in addition to teaching free science classes for kids once a month.
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!
Wednesday: Partly to mostly sunny. Showers develop overnight.
Thursday: Partly sunny, with a chance for showers.
Friday – Saturday: Partly to mostly sunny.

I just wanted to jump on here a minute and re-assure you that tonight’s severe storm threat is very minimal. This has never looked like an impressive storm set-up to me and that continues to be the case. As the NWS Nashville described these storms earlier, they are “underwhelming and disorganized.”
Nevertheless, rain is likely tonight and a thunderstorm remains possible, along with breezy conditions. We still can’t rule out a strong storm, as I’ve advertised in earlier posts
You all take care and see you at the Bigfoot Festival tomorrow! See https://ucbigfoot.com/ for more info on that!
A strong cold front will bring gusty southerly winds to the area by Friday afternoon and evening. Rain and storms in the overnight could be strong, though widespread severe weather is not expected in our area.

A few showers are possible the first half of the day in East Tennessee. Otherwise, much of the rest of the state will see partly to mostly sunny skies. It’s a cooler day, with highs only in the 60s statewide.
