We’ll enjoy highs in the low 80’s today with low humidity. Very nice weather to end June with with temperatures well below normal along with a brisk northwest wind. Partly cloudy skies but mostly dry weather today. We’ll have dry weather next couple of days.
June will total out to have warmer than normal temperatures and to be dry. In fact we’ll end the month with less rain than last year (2.21″ this June, 2.37″ in June 2007). The month flipped on us; typically you would warm up through the month. We cooled down- after the warmest start to June in 60 years we “cooled” down to slightly below normal.
We’re going to end up with 3.61″ this month here in Cookeville versus the 2.58″ in 2007…thanks, in large part, to recording 1.73″ the last few days!
For June, we are 2.3° above normal this year, but 1.5° cooler than last year

Good Morning, I hope everyone had a great weekend. What great weather June gave us and the Cicada’s didn’t invade like it was reported at the beginning of the month (at least in Mid TN they didn’t) This is will be a great short work week for weather and hopefully the 4th won’t be a wash out. Have a great day.

It’s going to feel nice today. I might actually get to stay outside shotting basketball for more then 15 minutes without needing a break! When it would be in the 90’s, I’d stay out for about 30-45 minutes.
Maybe this cool trend can continue into July. Mike, you hit the bull’s eye for rain. 1.73″… wow!
