Continued Hot with Possible Storms

admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com (Cookeville Weather Guy) — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:40:00 +0000

SUMMER HEAT ROLLS ON:
We've topped 90° during 16 of the 27 days thus far in July and expect today to be right around the 90° mark once again.

Our hottest July day has been 97° on 16th. Looking at our 7-day forecast, we'll see this heat continue throughout the period. Highs are averaging 89.6° during this month compared with an average of 87.7°, just about 2° above normal.

The record year occurred in 1980 when our average day was 93.9°. Compare that with last July (one of the coolest on record) when our average high was only 81.9°.

NEXT 24 HOURS:
Not much change in the forecast as we expect thunderstorms to once again boil and roil in the afternoon heat. Most of us will not see a drop of rain but the folks who do should get heavy rains. Again, expect highs right around 90° with heat index readings near 100°.

Hot Again With Possible Storms

admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com (Cookeville Weather Guy) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:08:00 +0000

HEAVY RAIN POSSIBLE:
Watch for big storms today in some locations as we'll see highs around 90°. The remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie continue to affect our area. With very little in the way of upper level winds, many of these storms will move very slowly causing some locations to have flooding-type conditions. Heat Index readings will push 100° once again.

NASHVILLE TORNADO:
An apparent weak tornado spun up around 7 pm last evening in the north Nashville area. One tractor-trailer was overturned and as many as 15 homes were damaged in the Brick Church Pike area. The Nashville office of the National Weather Service will be out this morning surveying damage to determine just what happened.

Still Hot and Humind

admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com (Cookeville Weather Guy) — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:19:00 +0000

SLIGHT RAIN CHANCES:
Look for the chance for rain to increase today with even better odds for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will be quite warm with daytime temps topping out around 90°-92° each day. Overnight lows in the lower to middle 70's. Remnants of Tropical Depression Bonnie are the cause for the increased chances. Some predictions (like News 2) show us receiving up to 1" of rain over the next two days. Lets hope they are correct.

Strong Storms Possible Again

admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com (Cookeville Weather Guy) — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:08:00 +0000

HEAT CONTINUES:
Look for the possibility of strong storms to develop again this afternoon. The best chances will be here on the Highland Rim and locations to our north. Highs will be in the 90's for all of us. 92° in Cookeville with higher temperatures toward Nashville and slightly lower temps north and east of us. A sneak peek into Friday shows this could be our hottest day yet of the year.

YESTERDAY'S RAINS:

Hot Weather Rest Of Week

admin@cookevilleweatherguy.com (Cookeville Weather Guy) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:41:00 +0000

EXPECT HEAT TO DOMINATE:
There is a Heat Advisory just one county to our west for today while southern Middle TN and Northern Alabama are under an Excessive Heat Watch. Here in the Cookeville area, we can't rule out a shower or thunderstorm this afternoon with highs running near 90°. Storms possible before 10 pm this evening, low 73°, hot again on Wednesday with a high of 91° and a chance of storms.

Note the graphic above. At just 80° in the sunshine, the temperature inside of a car will rise to 123° in just 60 minutes. This is a huge danger to children and pets left unattended. Don't make a mistake you'll regret.
