Its been a couple of weeks since we’ve had a high reach up into the mid-90’s. That is where we should be this afternoon with a mostly sunny start. Interesting to note that half of the forecast models put rain chances into our northern third this afternoon. THis is from an MCS moving down from the north out of Illinois. I’m thinking we’ll see some clouds with the rain getting maybe as close as the Ky/Tn border. We are always looking for rain in the months of July/August so perhaps the remnants of the storms will help trigger some around here in the heat of day. We can hope! Otherwise we’ll likely have to wait until Wednesday for a good rain chance. Below is how Predictor shows rain chances today and then again on Wednesday.
Good Morning! Looks like the graphics for predictor has changed or myabe its my computer screen. Guess my A/C in the car will be on full blast for my tri back to Middle TN! Have a great day everyone!
