1927 – An outbreak of tornadoes from Oklahoma to Indiana caused 81 deaths and 25 million dollars damage. A tornado (possibly two tornadoes) cut an eight-mile long path across Saint Louis, Missouri, to Granite City, Illinois, killing 79 persons. The damage path at times was a mile and a quarter in width. The storm followed a similar path to tornadoes which struck in 1871, 1896, and 1959.

Good evening, everyone! I just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know that more storms are possible later tonight and in the morning. This could impact our morning commutes. Allow yourself a little extra time just to be safe. Short-term models are showing a line of storms moving onto the plateau at 7:00 a.m. That model can be off by as much as an hour.

We still can’t rule out a strong storm on Thursday and that will likely lead to another weather-aware day.

Some of my weather watchers reported some rainfall today. Those are seen below. I’ll keep you posted on anything you need to know!

Community	Rainfall (In)
Rinnie	0.06
Ridgetop in Jamestown	1.8″
Crossville, 70E, Dorton Area	0.49
Allardt	. 12
Meridian	0.03
Fairfield Glade/Berkshire Loop	0.6
Cumberland County /Bledsoe County Border	0.02
Oak Hill	0.25
Fairfield Glade/Forest Hill	0.37

Showers and storms continue to develop this afternoon on radar. The best chance or rain continues to look to be north of I-40. There have been no warnings thus far and hopefully that stays true. The main threat from a stronger storm would be a damaging wind gust.

The current radar (1:45 pm) shows activity that is mainly confined to Fentress County. Northern Cumberland may get in on the action in the coming hours. Unless trends change, much of southern Cumberland County may get missed.
