April, 2008

A few thin clouds and a light south breeze will keep temperatures much warmer tonigh There is no need to worry about scattered frost.  A mostly sunny Thursday is ahead of us.  Combine that with a south breeze and temperatures rebound into the the upper 70's.  Right now it looks like most of the rain chances will hold off until Friday night and Saturday with near normal temperatures expected through the weekend.

It was another chilly start this morning in the 30s, but a mostly sunny sky and a light South wind will help to warm temperatures back to near-average levels by late day (lower 70s). The South wind really increases on Thursday and Friday which will bring a return to above-average temperatures (upper 70s to near80) as we round out the work week. A cold front will bring some scattered storms to the area late Friday into early Saturday, but it does look drier by Sunday.

Hopefully this will be the last cold start of the season with most areas in the 30s. We will see a quick recovery though today and the rest of the week. Look for a mostly sunny afternoon and a return to a southerly wind pushing highs up to near 70. The Southwest wind is a lot stronger for Thursday and Friday, so you can expect highs in the upper 70s to near 80 range. A threat for scattered storms returns late Friday into early Saturday, but the weekend does not look like a washout.

A FREEZE WARNING has been issued tonight for most the east Tennesee.  The warning goes into effect at midnight and will last through 9:00am EDT.  Although not all of the viewing area will see temperatures reach the freezing point, a significant part of the region may thus the FREEZE WARNING.  Scattered frost is likely in the area as frost can form even when temperatures are slightly above the freezing point.  The record low for Knoxville is in jeopary for Wednesday....currently it's 35 set in 1988.  Stay tuned to the 6 Storm Team fo

We were within "1" degree of tying a record low this morning at McGhee-Tyson Airport when we bottomed out at 34 degrees (the record remains 33 set in 1992). The chill will continue the rest of the afternoon (highs in the upper 50s) as we see a mix of clouds and only a little bit of sunshine. The clouds should thin out tonight and with a light wind, we once again could see a light freeze or scattered frost across portions of the viewing area.

There is a definite chill in the air this morning and it will last throughout the day. With a mix of sun and clouds highs will only top out near 60 and it will cool off quickly again tonight with a few areas of scattered frost expected by Wednesday morning. There will be a faster warm-up Wednesday afternoon though as a Southwest wind kicks in and that warm-up will continue the rest of the week.

Some showers are expected in the area around midnight as a cold front sweeps through the region.  Most of you will start the day in the 30's the next couple of mornings.  Patchy frost is possible especially in low lying and sheltered areas on Wednesday morning before a warming trend gets underway.  Warmer air and plenty of sun is on the way for the middle of the week before rain chances increase late Friday.

Drier weather is on tap for the afternoon, but there will be a second front which rolls in before midnight tonight. This should produce a thin line of showers, but the main thing this front will do is drastically cool things off for Tuesday and Wednesday mornings as lows bottom out in the mid-upper 30s. In fact, some areas "could" see some scattered frost by early Wednesdy morning (the record low is 35 set in 1988). The cool down is short-lived though as highs are in the lower 70s by Wednesday afternoon and mid-upper 70s by the end of the week.

It is a soggy start to the week, but the rest of it will be dry. Grab the umbrella early today as a cold front moves through the region bringing with it scattered showers. Most of the rain moves out by midday with a mix of clouds and some sun for the afternoon. A second cold front moves through tonight with a few more stray showers, but more importantly, it brings some MUCH colder air with it. Lows Tuesday and Wednesday morning will be in the mid-upper 30s, but the cool down is a brief one as highs in the 70s return by midweek.

A Cold front will bring Showers and some Thundershowers to our area tonight into tomorrow morning.  Some showers will still be possible Monday morning but look for some clearing by the afternoon. After another brief shower Monday Night, temperatures will turn Much Cooler dropping to the Upper 30's and Low 40's by Tuesday Morning. Partly Cloudy and quite cool Tuesday. Look for temperatures to drop into the 30's Tuesday Night. We will then see a quick warm up by mid to late week.

A warm front lifting to the north will bring showers to our area today. A strong cold front will bring Showers and even some Thundershowers tonight into tomorrow morning. Temperatures will turn much cooler by tomorrow. Much cooler weather will be with us during the early part of  next week before another warming trend begins by mid to late week.

We will see a few showers this evening with some patchy fog possible late tonight. A stronger cold front will bring a better chance for Showers and even a Thundershower to the area by Sunday into Sunday Night. The Wet weather will end Monday Morning. Look for Cooler temperatures during the first part of the upcoming week.

Scattered Showers will be possible for some of you this afternoon but this will NOT be an all day washout. Mostly Cloudy tonight with some patchy late Fog. Look for more Showers and Thundershowers to develop Sunday and continue into Sunday Night. This will be followed by sunshine along with much cooler air by early next week.

More clouds are in the forecast tonight but rain chances remain on the slim side. Right now it looks like Saturday will start out dry but rain should move in before noon.  Most of the rain threat will end by late Saturday afternoon as the cold front moves east. Rain chances will return by late afternoon on Sunday and move out again on Monday morning.  It will be much cooler to start the work week.

It will be another warm day today in the upper 70s to lower 80s, but it will be a little more humid and we will see a few spotty afternoon/evening thunderstorms around. The shower/storm threat looks more likely Saturday (especially from late morning through mid afternoon) with another good chance late Sunday into early Monday. The second storm system will drastically cool things off to start the new work week.

A few clouds are expected tonight as mild and comfortable air remains in place. A southerly breeze develops on Friday bringing more moisture to the area with a chance of scattered afternoon storms.  A cold front will push into east Tennessee Saturday bringing a good chance of showers and thunderstorms.  Another round of showers and storms arrives on Sunday but hopefully will wait until late in the day. Rain looks likey on Monday before cooler and drier air arrives Tuesday and Wednesday.

The heat is on again today as once again we will top out some 8-12 degrees above average. We will see a few more clouds today and there will be a slight chance for an isolated shower over the Mountains only. The hit or miss afternoon storm chances are area-wide Friday and scattered showers/storms look more likely on Saturday. The weekend isn't expected to be a total washout though as rain chances won't return until late Sunday into Monday.

With high pressure in control, the few clouds this evening should dissipate leaving a mostly clear sky overnight. A few clouds are possible Thursday afternoon with most of the region remaining dry. A few scattered storms are possible late Friday and part of Saturday but we not expecting a totally wet weekend. Much cooler air is still in the forecast for early next week.

Temperatures will continue to climb and be end up some 6-10 degrees above average the next couple of days with a mix of sunshine and a few clouds. The changes come this weekend as a series of fronts move across Tennessee. Look for increasing rain/storm chances late Friday into Saturday and again late Sunday into Monday, so even though there will be rain chances both days this weekend, you will still have some dry opportunities.

The few clouds you see this evening will likely move out leaving a mostly clear sky overhead tonight. Wednesday should be dry with a chance of a few mountain storms on Thursday. As a cold front approaches....the chances for showers and scattered storms will increase late Friday into Saturday. The weekend won't be totally wet...similar to last weekend. Cooler air could enter the picture again early next week.

We will see a few clouds the next few afternoons (after mornng sunshine), but temperatures should still continue to climb into the mid-upper 70s. The clouds should be thicker each day near the Mountains and there could be a few sprinkles or light showers there, but Valley and Plateau locations should remain dry. All areas should see rain chances increase towards the end of the week into the first part of the weekend.

The quiet and warmer weather pattern will continue for most of the week. We will see sunshine with just a few clouds (more in the Mountains) each day with highs warming into the mid-upper 70s. The pattern starts to change a little by the end of the week as a cold front approaches. It will give us some scattered storm chances Friday and Saturday.

A few clouds are likely tonight from Knoxville to the east with a clear sky expected west and south. The next several days look basically dry and warm with very little chance for rain. The chances for showers and scattered storms will increase again Friday into the first part of the weekend.

After a cooler than average weekend, temperatures will be back above average this week. We should start the week with sunshine and just a few clouds and highs in the mid 70s. There will be some spotty storm chances by mid week, but right now it appears as though late Friday into Saturday would be the best opportunity for showers/storms this week.

A beautiful Sunday night is on tap with a few clouds floating across a bright full moon. After a cool start on Monday, plan on plenty of sunshine for the afternoon with near normal temperatures. Tuesday should be dry with the chance of scattered showers and storms returning for the middle of the week.  High will be a little above normal levels this week.
