Finally, Some Much Needed Rainfall!

*It's happening* Some much needed rain has been falling across the Volunteer State, as many locations have picked up three-quarters of an inch or greater as of 1 pm. Most should end up between 0.75" and 1.5," though locally higher amounts are possible. This will help the very dry conditions we have maintained for several weeks, but we still need more to erase the drought moving forward.

A low pressure system is working through the area now, dragging a cold front east of the area by tonight. This will allow for showers to taper off from west to east and pull in cooler air from the west. As you can see upstream, lots of blues indicating much cooler air than this time yesterday and that'll be the case for us tonight and into Wednesday as well. Highs will fall 10-12 degrees cooler tomorrow than compared to today (around 50 degrees), with a gradual rise to near average Thanksgiving Day and through the weekend.

A few isolated showers will remain possible tonight into the first half of the day Wednesday, followed by passing high pressure that'll contribute to dry weather Thanksgiving Day. Another passing disturbance could then bring isolated shower chances Friday, with cloudy skies lingering into the weekend. Check out our video forecast below for more information!
