Saturday Noon Update

Issued Saturday, July 11, 2026

For the risk for flash flooding and the risk for isolated severe storms.
Through Sunday for all of Middle and East TN

I’ve updated the hourly forecast below. I made some adjustments to afernoon rain chances (decreased a bit) and increased evening rain chances.

We have a break now from the morning round of scattered showers and storms. That activity has pushed south and east of our area (pictured below). We may see a nice break for the next several hours. However, if you’re outside keep a check on the sky and the radar in case a storm pops up in the heat of the afternoon. Any storm that does could become severe.

Our next complex of storms is taking shape well to our west at this hour. That will likely push in later this evening. If most of the plateau stays rain free this afternoon, the atmosphere will only become more unstable and help energize these incoming storms. I’ll keep a very close eye on that. Right now, I would estimate these storms to be near the plateau by 6:00 pm, if they don’t speed up or slow down. But again, we’re not only watching these complexes but also for pop up storms in the heat and humidity of the afternoon. Our atmosphere is very unstable, which means any storm this afternoon could easily become severe. A flash flood watch remains in effect through Sunday.

Please stay alert to any watches or warnings that may come today. And please stay tuned to any special updates that I may need to issued. You all take care!

MM’s Hourly Forecast

5-Day Forecast

MM says…We’ll be watching for showers and storms again today and the next five days!

6-10 Day Temp & Precip Outlook

MM says…Warm weather is indicated by extended outlooks, along with normal to perhaps slightly above normal rainfall.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Very unsettled weather continues for the plateau, with a frontal boundary meandering through the area, combined with heat, humidity, and the topography of the plateau. That will give us shower and storm chances today. A complex of storms to our west may bring storms for us late tonight. I’ll keep an eye on that. More complexes of storms may impact our area Friday and Friday night, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall and strong storms.

Elsewhere, severe thunderstorms and showers pose a risk for excessive rain, localized flash flooding, strong gusts and/or large hail across portions of the northern and central Plains, the Lower Missouri to Lower Ohio Valleys, and across the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon and evening. Extreme heat is ongoing over the Desert Southwest and the Southeast U.S

Very little changed from last week to this week. Still, things are gradually improving. Three months ago only 4% of the state had no drought. Today, 18% of the state is without drought.

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Unsettled weather remains in our neck of the woods. Thunderstorm activity should be enhanced today by a disturbance sliding east on the Tennessee-Kentucky border.

Elsewhere, thunderstorms with severe wind gusts and hail will be possible today across parts of the central Plains, and from the Missouri Valley into the upper Mississippi Valley. Heavy rain associated with the thunderstorms may also produce flash/urban flooding. Critical fire weather conditions expected in the Great Basin and interior Northwest. Dangerous heat continues across the Southwest and Southeast.

MM’s Tues 5-Day: An Unsettled Pattern

MM’s Weather Worries

MM’s Wx Analysis

Unsettled weather continues in the eastern U.S., thanks to lingering frontal boundaries, an upper-level disturbance, and an area of high pressure in the Gulf that is helping pump warm, moist air into our region. Throw in some plateau topography and you get yourself the perfect recipe for scattered showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and early evening hours. The severe storm threats are most likely to be found to well to our west and northwest, as seeen shaded in yellow on the map below.
