Good morning! Today marks the first official FULL day of the new Fall season, and man does it feel like it! Highs today will find the low to mid 70s under sunny skies. This continues into Saturday as well, before showers and a few storms return on Sunday. Check out our full video forecast below for more.

Cooler temperatures in the forecast Friday and Saturday, before our next wave brings showers and the chance for a few storms Sunday. Overall, this next system should be quick hitting, with another burst of cool air Monday and Tuesday. Check out more details below, as well as some potential Tropical impacts to the US next week.

A warm one is on tap today, with highs well above average. Taking a look at expected highs versus the normal high this time of the year, the valley will be running around 10+ degrees above average. Further west, some locations could near the 20+ degree mark. Overall, its safe to say it'll be hot this afternoon, so keep your heat safety in mind!

Looking ahead, we do have a very slight chance of showers tomorrow. A stout cold front will be dropping south through the day, increasing cloud cover and bringing a limited chance for rain. The further south the front drops, the less moisture will be associated. Because of that, the best rainfall locations are across the northern valley and plateau, though a few isolated showers can't be ruled out further south. Dry and cool conditions then return Thursday and Friday, with showers and storms not back in the forecast until later Sunday and into early next week.

A big change in the Tropics, as Tropical Storm Gaston has now formed. Furthermore, a disturbance just north of South America is likely to form in the next 48 hours, so the Tropics are very activity right now. A couple of more disturbances off the coast of Africa may be something to monitor ahead as well. Check back in for more details in the days to come. As far as Fiona, she will work north and east, breaking through Bermuda as a potential major hurricane before drifting into the Central-north Atlantic. With that said, storm surge will be a concern along the East Coast, but no direct impacts are expected otherwise.

That will round out the day, I hope everyone has a good one! Be sure to follow us on Twitter & Facebook for more updates.

Good morning! A cold front sitting to our north has actually allowed for a few (now) dying showers across the Plateau and Middle Tennessee. Not expecting much in the way of rainfall chances for the great majority of us, but for those in the higher elevations to the west, you may see a shower the next couple of hours. In terms of the rest of the day, mostly sunny with highs topping out around 90 degrees. Even warmer temps find us tomorrow, before a cold front cools things off late work week.

The latest on Hurricane Fiona shows her sitting just north of the Dominican Republic after running through Puerto Rico, eventually crossing the Bahamas, and then working toward Bermuda. Unfortunately, this looks to remain a major hurricane (category 3 or higher) for the next several days, which could wreak havoc on Bermuda and the Caribbean islands. No major issues are scheduled to the Continental USA.

Other than warming temperatures through tomorrow, and then a cold front Thursday, things stay quiet and mostly dry through the end of the work week. A cold front does arrive late weekend and into early next week, bringing our next bout of real rainfall. Early predictions look to be between half an inch to an inch with locally higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Take a look at our video broadcast below for more details.

Good afternoon! Cloud cover is beginning to increase from our north to south this afternoon, as a frontal boundary sits across the Ohio River Valley. Other than a mix of sunshine and cloud cover, we will stay dry with highs near 90 degrees.

Looking at the Tropics,  Hurricane Fiona is blazing through portions of the Caribbean. She will bend north and eastward in the days to come, potentially running through Bermuda on her way. Time will tell, but for now no direct impacts are expected across the USA in the days to come. The one exception is some storm surge along the coast, but otherwise, fairly quiet.

In terms of rainfall chances over the next week, they look limited. In the next 5 days alone, very little to no rainfall should be expected. Towards next week, we have a good shot, but timing it out and on exactly how much rainfall is a bit too early. For now the timeframe looks to be Monday and Tuesday. 

Temperatures will generally trend warmer through midweek, before cooling with a passing cold front Thursday. Highs will then return to the 70s and 80s Thursday, Friday, and the weekend.

Over the past couple of months, gradual improvement has been seen across the western half of the state. The same can again be said this week as well, with only slight indications of dry conditions across mainly the southwest. Moving forward, we could see this revert back to increasing dry conditions given the lack of rainfall forecast over the next week or so. 

Moving to the Tropics, Tropical Storm Fiona has spun up. She is expected to shift west with time, crossing into Puerto Rico late Saturday, and then finding the Dominican Sunday, before shifting eastward. There is some indication this will ride along the east coast next week, but time will paint the better picture. For now, no direct threat to the USA, but the Caribbean will see heavy rain, gusty winds, and storm surge through the weekend.

In terms of the local forecast, high pressure and upper level ridging remains in place through the next several days. As a result, temperatures will soar back to the typical Summer time heat we have (but haven't) been missing. Highs will find the 90s by mid week (this next week), with temperatures across the Central Plains 20+ degrees above the typical average. This will also suppress any shower potential through at least early next week, with guidance suggesting little to no rainfall for the whole week possible. For now, enjoy the fair temperatures before things continue to warm this weekend and into next week. 

Highs will generally average the mid to near upper 80s Saturday and Sunday, with mostly sunny skies. Afternoon cumulus will be common most days, dissipating into the night. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Send us a few shots if you head out, which can be sent via email SecretCityWx@aol.com or through Twitter or Facebook @SecretCityWx

Another cool and crisp morning for East Tennessee, as 7 AM temperatures range from the low to upper 50s. As with low temperatures, high temperatures will continue trending warmer each day. By weekends end, highs will top out in the mid and upper 80s (above average). For today though, beautiful once again. Mostly sunny skies above, with highs in the low to mid 80s.

After the Topics allowed for a few hurricanes to form last week, we have quieted down a bit. With that said, there are still two disturbances worth watching, but chances for any formation over the next couple of days is low.

That will do it for hump day, don't forget to follow us on social media and check out our video forecast below for more information. The main trends over the next week will be the gradual increasing temperatures each day.

Good morning and I hope you are staying warm! After weeks of nights in the upper 60s to low 70s, we finally got our big break. With the aid of a sweeping cold front and nudging high pressure, temperatures this morning are in the low to mid 50s (as of 7 AM). Some areas even found the upper 40s into this morning!

Comparing this with yesterday morning, we are 10+ degrees cooler. This trend will continue again tonight, before gradually warming temperatures make for a return to lows in the 60s after Wednesday.

All in all, a gorgeous week remains on tap. High pressure will sit across the region, leading to plentiful sunshine and dry conditions. Warming temperatures will be the primary trend, as highs top out in the mid 80s by the end of the work week (Friday) and into the weekend. Take advantage!

That is all for today, after waves of showers and storms in recent weeks, we'll take pleasant, Fall-like, conditions early this week. Don't forget to view our video forecast below as well as follow us on Twitter and Facebook @SecretCityWx

Patchy fog and some light remnant showers to begin the day, otherwise clearing skies for the remainder. Highs will be MUCH cooler, topping out in the 70s. It's going to be a gorgeous one today, and really the next few days. Take advantage of the Fall-feel, before temperatures work back up into the mid and upper 80s late work week.
