Umbrellas Needed The Next Couple Of Days

Happy Hump Day! A front to the north continues to pester us bringing widespread activity in the days ahead. For today, showers and storms will develop in the higher elevations  and work east this afternoon. We are already seeing some development just east of Crossville and west of Dayton. 

As activity increases for Thursday, a Marginal risk has been placed over the area (for tomorrow). Showers will begin firing off in the late morning to afternoon with a chance for heavier showers/storms later in the day. Severe potential is low but gusty winds, small hail, heavy downpours, and lightning are all something to be cautious of. 

A few isolated showers are possible this afternoon and into the evening hours before widespread activity arrives Thursday. Rainfall will stick around for Friday as well before showers turn more scattered Saturday. Sunday will likely be our "best" day of the weekend with a mix of sunshine, cloud cover, and afternoon showers. By next week, a bit of tropical moisture could be possible in our neck of the woods. Tropical cyclone (likely) nine is expected to work west in the days ahead before turning north around Cuba. 

More details on the expected path and timing can be found in the video below. Let family and friends in the Gulf area know what could be coming their way. For now, stay cool this afternoon and keep the umbrellas handy for tomorrow!
