A Somewhat Active Week Ahead

Moderate showers are currently working through the region providing heavy rains, gusty winds, and lighting. For the latest radar scan, check out the "Radar" tab above. A moderate risk for severe storms is in place for this morning. As we work further into the day, shower activity will lesson, leaving a cloudy and dry overnight. 

With a high pressure system to the east, winds will come from the south in the days ahead. This will funnel in warm and muggy temperatures across the south. Heat indices (as seen below) are expected to top out in the lower 100's for most. Heat safety will be key Tuesday and Wednesday, so stay well hydrated and cool. 

As showers move out the later half of today, temperatures will stay near average in the upper 80's. Some clearing will take place overnight leaving partly cloudy skies Tuesday and Wednesday. Afternoon showers and storms are possible tomorrow and Wednesday but will be scattered. The main threat, as emphasized above, will be the heat and humidity. By Thursday and Friday, a front to the north will move in increasing instability across east Tennessee. This will be the best opportunity for widespread shower and storm activity, so we'll keep a close eye for the end of the work week. 

As showers work out this afternoon, cloud cover will keep things somewhat average. Tuesday will be very warm and sticky so take into account your heat safety. For more details, check out the latest video forecast below:
