Amounts range from 1.29" just west of Murfreesboro to around .20" for many other locations. Here in Cookeville at my station, we recorded just .26". The rain was light and lingered for much of the day. The severe weather, thankfully,&nbsp;&nbsp;never developed.<br /> <br /> I'm not confident in seeing any severe weather the rest of the weekend, however, there is still the potential for a few strong thunderstorms to develop. With plenty of moisture in the atmosphere, the other ingredients are in place for the development of a few strong thunderstorms. The weekend will not, by any means, be a complete washout. We are most likely to have the garden variety afternoon thunderstorm activity develop similar to a summer pattern. The coolest day over the next 7-10 days was today followed by tomorrow.<br /> <br /> Friday's high was just 72.2° early (9:46 am) and I expect we'll be in the upper 70's on Saturday. For Sunday we are back in the 80's and stay there all week. Our best shot at topping 90° comes on Monday and Tuesday with Tuesday being most likely. We'll back down to highs near 80° toward the end of next week.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weatherguy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Michael Detwiler on Facebook</a>&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">CookevilleWeatherGuy on Facebook</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">Weather Guy on Twitter</a></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Alerts on Twitter</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Guy on Google&nbsp;+</a></span></div> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=NZVEuHmd_-g:ffAXTB5MpOc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=NZVEuHmd_-g:ffAXTB5MpOc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~4/NZVEuHmd_-g" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~3/NZVEuHmd_-g/weekend-forecast.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michael Detwiler)0http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2013/05/weekend-forecast.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138587156452077022.post-9212316381515871991Fri, 17 May 2013 12:08:00 +00002013-05-17T08:01:15.698-05:00forecast<div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hYAUnEZy7MA/UZYpwKqAgtI/AAAAAAAAqKA/INtDU-hitrc/s1600/May17.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hYAUnEZy7MA/UZYpwKqAgtI/AAAAAAAAqKA/INtDU-hitrc/s400/May17.gif" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Rain and thunderstorms are likely over the next few days as a big area of precipitation from an upper level system is moving in from the southwest. I don't think each day will be a complete (all day) washout but you'll need to be aware of the good possibility of rainfall each day. This is a big weekend for graduation festivities for many schools in the area.<br /> <br /> A few of these storms could approach severe levels late this afternoon and evening across middle TN. Strong to severe storms cannot be ruled out for Saturday and Sunday but I do think those strong storms will be isolated in nature.<br /> <br /> We'll 'cool' off a few degrees to the upper 70's but do expect a return to the 80's by Sunday or Monday at the latest.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weatherguy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Michael Detwiler on Facebook</a>&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">CookevilleWeatherGuy on Facebook</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">Weather Guy on Twitter</a></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Alerts on Twitter</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Guy on Google&nbsp;+</a></span></div> <br /> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=S8ADK5b5jlo:kKSEYnHGrgc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=S8ADK5b5jlo:kKSEYnHGrgc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~4/S8ADK5b5jlo" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~3/S8ADK5b5jlo/good-rain-chances-through-sunday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michael Detwiler)0http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2013/05/good-rain-chances-through-sunday.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138587156452077022.post-5430000099189421199Thu, 16 May 2013 22:50:00 +00002013-05-16T17:50:25.738-05:00weekend forecastforecast<div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-77kV8iAA7RE/UZVigtxb9lI/AAAAAAAAqIo/vU-W8RuP1IU/s1600/Thursday+May+16.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-77kV8iAA7RE/UZVigtxb9lI/AAAAAAAAqIo/vU-W8RuP1IU/s400/Thursday+May+16.gif" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Who would have thought we'd have frost on Monday morning and then hit 85° for highs on both Wednesday and Thursday? What a quick turnaround. This is what I love about May..it 'may' get chilly but it won't stay around long.<br /> <br /> We're seeing some activity this afternoon on radar but most of us will see no rain. Thunderstorm chances do ramp up on Friday to 60% and continue to be likely through all of Saturday. Highs will be only around 80° on Friday and Saturday warming to the mid 80's once again on Sunday.<br /> <br /> The first of next week promises sunny skies and highs in the middle 80's.

This morning we are 30° warmer than Monday morning and expect a high this afternoon of 85°. West southwest winds will be refreshing at 5 to 10 mph.<br /> <br /> We'll include a slight rain chance for Thursday through next Tuesday as we'll be in a 'summer-like' pattern of pop-up thunderstorms.

We finally saw some sun late in the evening before sunset and clear skies overnight. The high was only 61°.<br /> <br /> This morning we started out at a chilly 41°. Expect a slight risk of a shower or thunderstorm today (only 20%). We'll keep rain/thunderstorm chances in the forecast the rest of the week with a nice warming trend.The precip chances increase significantly as we get to the end of the week and the weekend.<br /> <br /> Watch out for dense fog this morning, especially around bodies of water.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weatherguy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Michael Detwiler on Facebook</a>&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">CookevilleWeatherGuy on Facebook</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">Weather Guy on Twitter</a></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Alerts on Twitter</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Guy on Google&nbsp;+</a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=E_9otvUzPic:HBMZVRniJWs:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=E_9otvUzPic:HBMZVRniJWs:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~4/E_9otvUzPic" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~3/E_9otvUzPic/foggy-this-morning-warmer-with-slight.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michael Detwiler)0http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2013/05/foggy-this-morning-warmer-with-slight.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138587156452077022.post-8930418514450197399Mon, 06 May 2013 12:07:00 +00002013-05-06T07:07:01.543-05:00extended forecastforecast<div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FB7l9HLcPv8/UYecSKVwqQI/AAAAAAAApbs/_32JseAiUIA/s1600/5613CookevilleWebCam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FB7l9HLcPv8/UYecSKVwqQI/AAAAAAAApbs/_32JseAiUIA/s320/5613CookevilleWebCam.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> You may be waking up to a some sunshine this morning.

We're under a <a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&amp;issuedby=OHX&amp;product=FFA&amp;format=CI&amp;version=1&amp;glossary=1" target="_blank">FLOOD WATCH</a> through Sunday afternoon. Expectations of rainfall amounts are in the 2"-4" with some isolated amounts in the 5" range. Last weekend we recorded 3.11" of rainfall and there were problems reported across many areas of Middle TN. With saturated grounds and the potential for more rainfall than last weekend, the possibility exists for greater problems this weekend.<br /> <br /> I've posted links below to radar.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ln8o-M_Rig/UYR9Uloxo6I/AAAAAAAApEc/BAChQ0o_OyU/s1600/Flood+Watch+Map.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6ln8o-M_Rig/UYR9Uloxo6I/AAAAAAAApEc/BAChQ0o_OyU/s400/Flood+Watch+Map.gif" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> The counties affected in this watch beginning at 7 am on Saturday are the following:<br /> Bedford<br /> Cannon<br /> Clay<br /> Coffee<br /> Cumberland<br /> Dekalb<br /> Fentress<br /> Grundy<br /> Jackson<br /> Macon<br /> Overton<br /> Pickett<br /> Putnam<br /> Rutherford<br /> Smith<br /> Sumner<br /> Trousdale<br /> Van Buren<br /> White<br /> Warren<br /> Wilson<br /> <br /> Remember a flood watch means there is a potential for flooding based upon the current forecasts. You should be aware of and monitor the latest forecasts along with being alert for possible flood warnings. People living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take immediate action should flooding develop.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=OHX&amp;product=NCR&amp;overlay=11101111&amp;loop=yes" target="_blank">National Weather Service Radar - Nashville</a><br /> <br /> I will be monitoring statements from the National Weather Service all weekend and will bring you a variety of updates here and on the social media sites listed below.

Here in the Upper Cumberland region you can expect rainfall up to 2" this weekend with some isolated amounts over 3".<br /> <br /> <b><u>When will it start?</u></b><br /> Some rain has fallen this evening (Thursday) in isolated sections of the area. Generally we expect the actual rain event to begin overnight Friday into Saturday with the rains becoming heavier through the daylight hours on Saturday.<br /> <br /> <b><u>Are we expecting flooding?</u></b><br /> With the grounds already saturated from last weekend's rain event you can expect that any rain that falls will not be absorbed into the damp grounds as easily. This will cause areas prone to flooding to possibly flood quicker than last weekend.<br /> <br /> <b><u>How much will we receive locally?</u></b><br /> As stated above we are definitely going to see some significant rainfall totals on the order of 2" with isolated 3" amounts. I cannot rule a few spots seeing 3+...<br /> <br /> Rest of the overnight:<br /> Mostly Cloudy - Low 56°<br /> <br /> Friday:<br /> Mostly Cloudy - High 70° with a 50/50 chance of rain<br /> <br /> Friday night:<br /> Showers Likely - Low 53° with a 70% chance for rain<br /> <br /> Saturday:<br /> Showers and possibly a thunderstorm - High 61° - 100% chance for rain<br /> <br /> Rain chances continue right on through early next week.<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weatherguy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Michael Detwiler on Facebook</a>&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">CookevilleWeatherGuy on Facebook</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">Weather Guy on Twitter</a></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Alerts on Twitter</a></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Guy on Google&nbsp;+</a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=nykjJDTm5YM:I9k76Y3ACW8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=nykjJDTm5YM:I9k76Y3ACW8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~4/nykjJDTm5YM" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~3/nykjJDTm5YM/latest-on-weekend-rains.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michael Detwiler)0http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2013/05/latest-on-weekend-rains.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138587156452077022.post-1539376175596715137Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:03:00 +00002013-04-28T09:03:42.174-05:00<p dir=ltr>A power outage around 1:30 am has knocked my station off-line.

The rain will mix with thunderstorms on Wednesday (a 100% chance) and a high of 61° along with windy conditions. We'll be quite chilly on Wednesday night with a low of 37° by Thursday morning.<br /> <br /> Temperatures moderate a few degrees on Thursday with sunny skies and a high of 64°.

Please let me know if you notice any issues.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/weatherguy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Michael Detwiler on Facebook</a>&nbsp;</div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">CookevilleWeatherGuy on Facebook</a></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CookevilleWeatherGuy" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;">Weather Guy on Twitter</a></span></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Alerts on Twitter</a></div> <span style="background-color: white; color: #002a77; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;" /><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #002a77;"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/ckvl_wx_alerts" style="color: #002a77; text-decoration: initial;" target="_blank">Cookeville Weather Guy on Google&nbsp;+</a></span></div> <br /> <br /><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=IXCFfkLPbtE:7bcq1QRwLj4:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?a=IXCFfkLPbtE:7bcq1QRwLj4:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/TheWeatherGuy?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~4/IXCFfkLPbtE" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWeatherGuy/~3/IXCFfkLPbtE/beautiful-monday.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Michael Detwiler)0http://www.cookevilleweatherguy.com/2013/04/beautiful-monday.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138587156452077022.post-1609610996633461117Mon, 22 Apr 2013 03:33:00 +00002013-04-21T22:34:27.057-05:00cardinal computerdellwxforum.netambient weatherforecast<div style="text-align: center;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Iykb2xQfsA/UXSvW_0GaKI/AAAAAAAAoeY/TY4ZUpjyWQQ/s1600/desktop-optiplex-760-overview2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Iykb2xQfsA/UXSvW_0GaKI/AAAAAAAAoeY/TY4ZUpjyWQQ/s200/desktop-optiplex-760-overview2.jpg" width="165" /></a></div> My old Dell served two weather stations faithfully for more than seven (7) years but kicked the bucket on March 5, 2013. I have since replaced the Dell with another Dell thanks to Mike Austin and the great people at <a href="http://www.cardinalcomputer.com/" target="_blank">Cardinal Computer</a> in Cookeville, TN.<br /> <br /> I'm running an Optiplex 760 Windows 7 Professional with 4GB of RAM and a 1 TB of hard drive space.<br /> <br /> The great news is that my weather station live is up and running. There was a hiccup or two getting it going as Belkin's serial to USB connector doesn't communicate with Windows 7. Apparently, Belkin would like for me to buy another connector. I threw the connector away and hooked it directly to the serial port. In seconds, the Davis Vantage Vue was communicating nicely with the Virtual Weather Station software (version 14.01 p46). I had a great assist with the guys at <a href="http://wxforum.net/">WxForum.net</a> and Ed at <a href="http://ambientweather.com/">AmbientWeather.com</a>.<br /> <br /> <b>This has been a true team effort and I'm very grateful</b>.<br /> <br /> Our Cookeville, TN weather is going to be chilly tonight with lows in the lower 40's and a high of 70° on Monday with mostly sunny skies. We'll be a few degrees warmer on Monday night/Tuesday morning with highs in the lower 70's on Tuesday. Look for thunderstorm chances late Tuesday night and on Wednesday with a slight cooling trend for Thursday but warming to near 70° once again on Friday through the weekend with a slight chance for showers and thunderstorms.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=ohx&amp;map.x=266&amp;map.y=96" target="_blank">*Latest Local Forecast* </a></span></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <b><u>Interact with me on social media:</u></b></div> <br /> <div style="background-color: white;
