An amazing morning outside. Wonderful temperatures - low humidity. Loving every minute of it! Rain chances increase tonight and Wednesday then again towards Friday.
Our tropical system never really did develop quite as expected. Although, the NHC did find a closed circulation and depression winds - they didn't bother to upgrade it. It was pretty much moving ashore anyway. So - the remnants of TD 5 are now moving through Louisiana - as expected. Moisture is already starting to spread northward from this system. It will continue to push moisture into the Tennessee Valley over the coming days. Unfortunately, most of it will stay south of our local counties.
The best chance of rain later tonight and Wednesday will be in Kentucky and Tennessee. The heaviest rains are expected to be on the KY/TN border and in Tennessee. There will be a chance of showers and storms across the entire region. Best coverage, though, will be in the above mentioned areas.
Long range we will have to keep an eye on the tropics from Florida and up the east coast. There are some indications that a system may impact that region late in the period. Also keeping an eye on the Caribbean.
Otherwise temperatures are expected to be near to above normal in our region over the coming weeks. Still some hot days ahead of us. And if the latest data is correct we may return to heat advisory criteria next week.
Enjoy the day!
