Winds will remain strong and gusty especially this evening.  Expect Scattered Showers along with cooler temperatures tonight. Mostly Cloudy breezy and cool Monday but look for some clearing to arrive by late in the day. Clear but cool Monday Night with lows in the 40's. Tuesday will be about the best day this week as sunshine will warm us back into the 70's. The next front will bring the chance for Showers and Storms back to the area for mid to late week.

Today will be a windy day. As a cold front moves through the area, some of you may still see scattered showers and even a few Thunderstorms, although not everyone will see rain on this Mother's Day. Mostly Cloudy breezy and cooler tonight with scattered showers possible. Monday will be a cooler day with a Mostly Cloudy sky. We will enjoy warm sunshine on Tuesday before another front brings back the chance for scattered Showers and Storms for mid to late week.

A Strong cold front will bring Showers and Storms to our area  late tonight into Sunday Morning. Some of these storms MAY be Strong to possibly Severe. The main threat will be damaging winds and Hail along with very heavy rain. As the front moves by, scattered showers and more Thunderstorms are expected again by Sunday afternoon into Sunday Night. The Showers should be over by early Monday along with cooler temperatures. We will then see a break in the weather for part of Monday into Tuesday before the threat of Showers and Storms returns again by mid to late week

Enjoy a Partly Cloudy warm Saturday. Clouds will return overnight. Late tonight into tomorrow morning, Showers and Storms will return to our area. Some of the Storms may be strong. It will not Rain all day on Mother's Day, but after a brief break, more scattered afternoon and evening Showers and Storms are expected. Drier but much cooler weather will return by early next week.

One disturbance may bring a few scattered showers and even a Thundershower to parts of the area overnight. Saturday will be the best day of the weekend. After some morning clouds, we will see a mixture of clouds and sun along with warm temperatures. A stronger system will bring back the chance for Showers and Storms on Sunday for Mother's Day. Some of those Storms may be strong. Look for a clearing sky along with comfortable temperatures by early next week. 

After some much needed rain Thursday, we should only see a few widely scattered, late day storms around the region (most areas should remain dry today). There will be a better opportunity for scattered showers/storms across the region later tonight into the early morning hours of Saturday. Most of Saturday will be dry, but a stronger storm system is forecasted to move through late Saturday night into Sunday (Mother's Day). These storms could be strong or severe...stay tuned.

Showers are likely this evening. Most of the rain will be over by late tonight. Most of the area will see dry weather return on Friday. Another disturbance may bring more Showers back by late Friday Night into Saturday Morning. Then after another break part of Saturday and Saturday Night, A Stronger system will bring Showers and Storms by Sunday. Some of the storm may be strong on Sunday.

Showers and thunderstorms move into the region late this afternoon ahead of a slow moving cold front.  A TORNADO WATCH is in effect for McMinn, Monroe, Meigs and Rhea counties until 7:00pm.  A WATCH means strong thunderstorms are possible that "could" produce tornadoes.  The best chance for tornadoes remains in the southern valley into Georgia and Alabama.  Stay tuned to WATE for additional watch and warning information.

A windy, warm and humid air mass exists across our region today. We will see a few spotty showers through the afternoon hours, but the main threat for strong to severe storms will move in to the region between 6pm and Midnight. There will be a threat for damaging wind gusts with some of the storms and the greatest risk should be back along the Plateau and down through the Southern Valley (see picture below). Stay tuned to the 6 Storm Team for complete coverage of this developing situation.

The brisk southerly wind continues today and that will once again push temperatures up into the upper 70s and lower 80s for highs today. It will also pump in a lot of moisture ahead of a cold front which approaches the region later tonight. All this combined will give us a few spotty showers through early afternoon and a greater risk of storms by this evening (some of the storms could be strong/severe).
