Since 2014 the Cookeville Weather Guy has taken a hiatus from posting. At some point in the very near future he will resume. For now you can access his Facebook page here.

Hottest Temps of 2014 This Weekend

2014-08-19T23:46:00.000-05:00

The headlines are to expect temps hitting the mid 90's in the Cookeville area starting Thursday through the weekend. A slight chance for a garden variety summer time thunderstorm.

We hit 87° on Tuesday which is the warmest day since last Monday, August 11th. Expect temps in the low 90's for Wednesday and around 94-95° for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. We may even be underplaying the high temps a bit, so upper 90's are a possibility with 100° highs to the west of Nashville.

Both June and July saw days where our high hit 93°, Highs over the next few days will exceed that temp.

With today's rains, August has topped 4".

Sunday Storms and Upcoming Week's Forecast

2014-08-17T14:15:00.002-05:00

Looking at the latest radar loop you can see more storms developing over middle TN and even more streaming eastward from western sections of TN.

In Cookeville, we've already recorded more than .50 (half inch) of rainfall and isolated locations could see as much as 2-4 inches before the rain moves out on Monday evening.

Strong storms are possible, but I believe they will stay under the severe limits. We do, however, believe that locally heavy rainfall will occur.

With cloud cover today, temps won't warm much and will be in the mid 80's on Monday. The rest of the week will see temps approach 90° all the way through the upcoming weekend.

Another Night In The 50's; Hot Days Ahead

2014-08-14T22:39:00.001-05:00

Expect Friday morning lows by sunrise to be in the 56-58° range for many of us. This marks the 3rd night in a row that we'll drop to the 50's. I don't think we'll go all the way to 54° like this morning.

Normal high/low this time of year:
87°/64°

FRIDAY THROUGH WEEKEND
High temps:
85° - Friday
88° - Saturday
87° - Sunday
Only a 30% chance of rain on Sunday with plenty of sunshine on both Friday and Saturday. We'll possibly drop into the 50's for a 4th night in a row Friday evening, but I'm not 100% sold on that idea. Best thunderstorm chances are Sunday night, but it is only a 50/50 proposition at this point.

Possible Shower Before Lunch; Gorgeous Rest of Week

2014-08-12T07:13:00.001-05:00

BECOMING SUNNY LATER:
There is a very slight chance of a possible shower or thunderstorm today before lunch with sunny skies for this afternoon and a high near 80°. Currently, at 6:45 am, in Cookeville the temperature is 70°.

STORMY MONDAY AFTERNOON:
On Monday, we had two rounds of thunderstorms roll through the area prompting a severe thunderstorm warning and a significant weather advisory. We recorded just .66" here at my weather station while areas around Carthage, TN (about 35 miles to our west) had some impressive totals including a station with 2.73".

WET and COOL:
So far in August we've recorded two days with rain and a total of 3.22". Average August rainfall is: 3.94". Average temperatures so far this month is running about 1.7° below normal.

ANOTHER COOL SPELL:
Once we get past today, expect much cooler temperatures the rest of the week with lows in the upper 50's tonight, lower to mid 50's on Wednesday night, upper 50's on Thursday night. Highs mainly in the upper 70's to lower 80's each day with abundant sunshine.

Sunday Scattered Storms

2014-08-10T13:37:00.000-05:00

Expect a round of thunderstorms on Sunday afternoon. Not every location will see rainfall. Highs in the mid 80's under muggy conditions.

HEAVY SATURDAY RAINS:
On Saturday evening, rain fell hard and fast in the Cookeville area. At my home, I measured 2.56". Checking deeper into my own data, I had 1.36" from 7:10 pm until 8:00 pm and another 1.07" from 8 to 9 pm.

Other high amounts in TN were:
3.39" in Madison (north of Nashville)
3.08" just east of Cookeville
2.77" at a station near my home
2.60" four miles NE of Sparta
2.57" 4.6 miles WNW of Sparta

6" of Rain in the Carolinas:
More than 6" of rain in a 24-hour period yesterday was recorded in Greenville, SC and Garner, NC.

Our upcoming week looks great starting about Wednesday with cooler temps and lower humidity levels.

Storms Brewing This Afternoon

2014-08-09T15:55:00.000-05:00

SATURDAY AFTERNOON UPDATE:
There has been an increase in the rain and thunderstorm coverage across Middle Tennessee this afternoon. Expect slow moving thunderstorms with locally heavy downpours where the rain falls. The air is very moist and we lack any significant winds although that may change within strong thunderstorms themselves. The threat of any widespread severe thunderstorms is not expected.

REST OF THE WEEKEND:
Expect some leftover rain and thunderstorm activity this evening, but they should all dissipate after sunset. Sunday is expected to be much drier than today with warmer temperatures. The high should be around 85°.

NEXT WEEK:
At this point, Monday looks like a good chance for thunderstorm development. We'll keep an eye out for any possible strong to severe weather. After frontal passage, I expect things to dry out and settle down with cooler temps. Much of the week will be dry with a few cool nights mid-week and temps averaging below normal.

The Data Is In on July 2014

2014-08-02T23:33:00.000-05:00

Worked on some research tonight and found that July 2014 was the 2nd coolest on record. Amazingly, the coolest July was in 2009 at 71.9° average while July 2014 was 72.3°.

July 2014 was cooler than June 2014. This has only happened in 1918, 1943, 1967, 1971, 1984, and 2009. Only 7 times in 118 years.

Another Chilly Night and Upcoming Weekend Forecast

2014-07-30T22:26:00.002-05:00

Third Straight Night in The 50's
Are you liking the cool nights and warm days?
We've had a large number of lows in the 50's this July with 9 nights thus far. Looks like #10 will happen this evening.

Thursday's Forecast
We'll start cool again with sunrise temps around 57-59° in and around Cookeville with afternoon highs 80-82° under a partly cloudy sky. A slight chance of rain showers overnight Thursday but I don't see it being a big rain event.

Friday Through The Weekend
Look for a rain/thundershower chance each day with highs in the low to mid 80's and lows in the low to mid 60's.

Next week promises a warm and sunny start with highs in the upper 80's and low in the mid to upper 60's.

NATIONAL HEATSTROKE PREVENTION DAY
Every 10 days an unattended child dies in a hot car. Let's stop these preventable tragedies. National Heatstroke Prevention Day is July 31. Since 1998, more than 620 kids have died from heatstroke when left unattended in a vehicle. More than half were simply forgotten; something that can happen to the most loving and caring parents when their routine is changed. Other deaths occurred when a child was intentionally left in a vehicle or climbing into a vehicle on their own and was unable to get out.

Storms Rumbling Overnight

2014-07-26T22:29:00.000-05:00

THUNDERBOOMERS:
You may hear some rumbles of thunder overnight as storms are poised just to our north over central and south central areas of Kentucky. They are marching quickly to the south. I've posted radar links to both Wunderground and the National
Weather Service below.

COOL MORNINGS!
Saturday's high was 87° after starting out the second morning in a row in the 50's. (59.1° at 5:56 am). It is the 8th morning in July that we've been under 60°. I expect we'll see 2 more next week. Quite a month!

HOT SUNDAY:
Sunday is expected to be a very hot day with heat index readings in Cookeville around 97-100° and a chance of storms mainly in the afternoon hours. Winds will be gusty from 15-20 mph. High temps will be around 91°.

MUCH COOLER NEXT WEEK:
A big cool down is expected Monday through Wednesday with highs in the 70's and lows in the 50's.

Back In The 90's

2014-07-22T17:56:00.000-05:00

We're finally back in the 90's after more than a week where temps dropped into the upper 60's for actual high temperatures! It felt hot today.

JULY 22 ALMANAC:
Records:
Hottest: 100° in 1926 (normal: 87°)
Coolest: 53° in 2007 (normal: 66°)
Rainfall:
1.80" this date in 2011
Wettest July: 9.37" (1916)
Month to Date:
Average high: 84.7°
(normal: 87.3)(record: 95.6° in 1980)

We saw no rainfall today (Tuesday) across the Cookeville area (most showers/storms confined to northeast plateau and southeast TN near Chattanooga and on into NE Alabama and NW Georgia) but have a 40% for Wednesday and a 70% chance of thunderstorms for Wednesday night. I think we will top 90° again on Wednesday. Thunderstorms continue on Thursday early but then we expect to slowly clear with highs in the mid 80's and lows in the low 60's on Thursday night.

For Friday expect a sunny and very nice day with a high of 85° and a low of 62°. Much of the same for Saturday with sunny skies and a high of 85°. The full forecast is below.

Summer Makes It's Return

2014-07-20T15:56:00.001-05:00

I'm sure you've noticed the increase warmth today (Sunday) across the area. We've been as warm as 85° this afternoon. Some have seen a few stray showers and thunderstorms, but nothing compared to the coverage of showers the last two days.

WINTER OUTLOOK MAP:

The guys at http://firsthandweather.com/ have released a preliminary 2014-2015 winter forecast and it shows areas east of the Rockies with a winter of well below normal temps and average to above average rain/snow. I'm sure some teachers and students will love this prediction.

COLD JULY TEMPS
Speaking of cool weather, check out a couple of stories from The Weather Channel about the July record cold snap. It was one of the strongest ones ever recorded.

Like Living in Seattle But Changes Are Ahead

2014-07-19T13:14:00.000-05:00

Tired of the rain? I've got bad news for you!

Looks like this first round will wrap up this morning, but a second round will be on their way later this afternoon. Thundershowers will only be very isolated in our area with highs just in the mid 70's (about 15°-20° below normal).

COOKEVILLE BY THE NUMBERS:

1.70" of rain recorded in last 24 hours (almost a record breaker for this date)
Friday's high was just 68.8° which breaks a record from 2009 for the coolest high temperature recorded in Cookeville, TN on that date by 3°.
53° was the coldest low temp on record, by the way, on Thursday morning!

SUNDAY AND THE WEEK AHEAD:
Sunday's forecast calls for a slight chance of a thunderstorm with a high of 83°. The week ahead promises a more summer type pattern with slight afternoon thunderstorm chances and highs in the upper 80's.

The end of next and the weekend just might be sunny, warm, and include no rain!

Your Weekend Forecast and Other Fun Stuff

2014-07-18T21:34:00.002-05:00

Kind of like Seattle weather is what one of my Facebook friends said today and I have to agree. Overcast and just enough rain to make you use your wipers and have to watch out for people who mysteriously didn't know or realize that it actually rained today!

After a mainly rainy Friday (only .30") in the rain bucket, the weekend promises much of the same.

QUICKIE FORECAST:
Friday night: 80% shower chance, low 62°
Saturday: 60% thunderstorm chance, high 76°
Saturday night: 30% thunderstorm chance, low 66°
Sunday: 40% thunderstorm chance, high 84°

Friday saw rain showers off and on for much of the afternoon with only one round of moderate showers and mostly light showers. No lightning/thunder was reported in Cookeville.

Rain chances diminish considerably next week with much warmer temperatures. Highs in the upper 80's to around 90° with lows in the upper 60's. We'll see the garden variety type of summer afternoon or early evening thunderstorm chance.

LINKS YOU CAN USE:
Tonight, I'll feature a couple of links including a much better looking mobile weather site from the National Weather Service. It really has an 'app-type feel' to it. Check out the news story here or go directly to the new site by clicking here

Chilly tonight folks. Hard to believe it is July 16th. Just for fun a 1950's thermometer.

JUST HOW CHILLY?
Record low for the overnight is 50° in 1945.
Historically the second to third week of July is one of our hotter weeks of the summer.

THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE FRIDAY THRU NEXT WEEK
Don't get used to the cool weather. We'll heat right up again to the mid 80's by Sunday with upper 80's Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. There will be thunderstorm chances starting on Friday afternoon all the way through Wednesday. The full forecast link is below.

Here Comes The Cold (Again)

2014-01-26T23:00:00.002-06:00

Snow showers develop after 3 am as winds turn to the north northwest after frontal passage. Gusts could be as high as 20 mph. Some locations will see as much as one-half inch of accumulation by morning. Low temperature by sunrise of 22°.

WEAR COAT, GLOVES, AND SCARF MONDAY AND TUESDAY

MONDAY'S VERY COLD FORECAST:
20% chance of snow before noon under a cloudy sky with falling temperatures all day. Not expecting any additional accumulation. Gusty winds up to 25 mph will make the day feel quick cutting on exposed skin. Expect temps around 5 pm to be in the middle teens.

BRUTAL COLD ONCE AGAIN:
On Monday night, a wind chill advisory is in effect for below zero wind chill readings from midnight through noon on Tuesday. Very cold with a low of 8°. A high of 19° is expected on Tuesday with sunny skies.

Tuesday night will be very cold once again with a low of 5°. With any snow cover, we may end up even colder but winds will die down.

Wednesday will see warmer temps with a high of 28°.

We'll probably end up around 82 hours or so below freezing after a 90+ hour run last week. Thursday will finally see us break out from freezing and get up to 41°.

The warm-up continues through the weekend with possible highs in the 50's both Saturday and Sunday! Don't get too comfortable as winter still has a ways to go.

Gorgeous Sunday; But Near Zero Temps Returning

WARM UP: Finally Above Freezing

2014-01-25T15:24:00.000-06:00

SNOWY SATURDAY MORNING:
Cookeville saw snow flurries this morning and sleet during the later mid-morning hours. Roads quickly become covered and side streets were a bit slick. Traffic flow kept main roads from getting any accumulation. Just to our north and east, snow quickly piled up on roads.
