Rain Begins To Move In

Radar at 10:22 AM

More rain has made into East Tennessee and some of this could be heavy at times. So don't be caught out without your umbrella today. chances of rain continue tonight then some clearing possible Wednesday before the next system. The next system expected to affect the area Friday into Friday night. This activity could linger into Saturday, but should be out before the game against South Carolina. It will cool for the game so dress warm.

More Rain And Then A Cold Snap

Well folks the rain continues to plague the area with good chances of rain through Friday and small chances continue Saturday. Remember to monitor forecasts and information in case there are any warnings or watches prompted.

The next topic of discussion is the chance for a cold snap coming in by Saturday night. Expect low temperatures to be 10 to 15 degrees colder then lows tonight. Anyone with animals or plants should monitor the forecast for any changes in these temperatures as we near the end of the week. Also with some lingering moisture I would not rule out the chance of rain and snow mix in the higher elevations on Saturday night. Keep in mind that this is a long way away and we will need to continue fine tuning the forecast as the week progresses.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

Most of you across East Tennessee have seen your fair share of the wet stuff and looks like this week we will see plenty more. Looking at the 9:20 AM radar with surface analysis we can see a trof that has setup over the area. This will help the rain continue through much of the day. Right now it does appear this rain activity will be light and moderate. There are no flood watches or warnings out for this system at this time. The chances of rain decrease tonight into Tuesday with rain increasing again for Tuesday night through Friday. If you have any outdoor plans this week continue to monitor the forecast for changes as you get closer to your event.

Rain Falls Apart

Looking at the surface analysis with radar you can see that very little rain is present across the East Tennessee area. There was a line a showers that stayed together till the Plateau. After going over the plateau we see the amount of rain is much less. The chances of rain have been brought down to 30%. Looking above at the radar at 10:30 showers are mostly confined to Scott, Anderson, Claiborne, and Union counties. Remember that not all areas will see this activity and chances will continue to fall as the cold front moves through the area. Expect a great weekend with mostly sunny skies lows in the 40s and highs in the 70s.

Not As Cool

Well folks the temperatures this morning not quite as cool as expected with most areas staying the lower to mid 50s. This was due to some cloud cover across much of the area through the night. We might get cooler tonight with clear skies and lows expected to reach the mid 40s. Wonderful day for Thursday with sunny skies and mid 70s and then back to some showers and thunderstorms for your Friday. This same system will produce some severe weather in parts of the Midwest. Looks like clearing will come for the weekend with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s and highs in the lower to mid 70s.

Flooding Possible

Well folks the rainy times continue as we go into the weekend. From the map of much of Tennessee you can see is under a flash flood watch. This watch has been posted till Saturday evening. If you live in flood prone areas it is strongly advised to pay close attention to changing weather. Monitor local TV or NOAA Weather Radio for any further statements or warnings. Once we get to Sunday and Monday expect clearing to begin. Another big change will be the temperatures as we get to Monday and Tuesday with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s and highs in the mid to lower 70s. This will be a nice change to the spring/summer like pattern we have endured for so long.

Flooding Chances Move In

Well the flooding that we saw across parts of West and Middle Tennessee have moved into parts of East Tennessee. As you can see by the watch and warning map from the Storm Prediction Center. Keep in mind that not everyone will see the flooding rains, but as usual with a system like this some will see their fair share. The system providing this moisture is still related to the low pressure that was sitting in the Texas area earlier this week. Even after this system moves out it does appear that another system in the west will move in and that keeps the chances of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast for most of the week. I would expect some clearing at the end of the week with less chances of rain. Beside today expect highs to be in the 80s and lows will stay in the in the 60s for the week.

More Rain....

Looks like this rain is continuing to stick around the area with numerous showers and a few thunderstorms possible through the day. The best chances of rain will be today through Monday. Then as we go through the week our chances come down and we may begin to see some clearing. High temperatures will be the upper 70s to lower and mid 80 and lows in the mid to upper 60s.
