Our weather is looking good for the most part through Saturday with typical summertime conditions. Partly sunny each day with a 30% chance of an afternoon Thundershower, high temperatures in the upper 80s. Rain is likely Sunday through Tuesday, as plenty of moisture will be coming up from the Gulf. Our latest data indicates rain increasing again from the 4th to the 7th of July, I will update you next week on the Independence Day forecast, but let’s hope the rain doesn’t mess it up.
One of the worst heat waves ever recorded in Tennessee was on June 29th and it was only 8 years ago in 2012. I bet you remember it if you were here! An abnormally hot, dry air mass settled over Middle Tennessee. Nashville set an all-time record high with 109. Other all-time record highs were set at Woodbury (110), Sparta (108), McMinnville (106), Cookeville (105), and Jamestown and Monterey (103).
In our evening Sky this week we will have a crescent moon to the West and you will notice Jupiter shining rather brightly in the Southeastern sky between 9 and midnight and then in the southern Sky after midnight.
