The dry days continue....

Today will be another dry but warmer day across East Tennessee with high pressure in control.  Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s.  Thursday will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s.  The moisture will begin returning as we go into Friday with slight chances of a popup storms across the higher terrain.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.  For the weekend expect mostly sunny skies with popup storms along the higher terrain.  Highs will be in the upper 80s to lower 90s.

The big weather story continues to be Tropical Storm Isaac.  Right now the storm is located just off the coasts of the Caribbean Islands.  This storm is still forecast to impact the US by early next week.  Right now the National Hurricane Center has it moving into the southern tip of Florida.  Anyone traveling to areas in Florida or the East Coast early next week should continue to monitor this tropical system.

Another Dry Day....

Well folks another dry day is in store for East Tennessee.  Today expect mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower to mid 80s.  Wednesday will bring mostly sunny skies once again with highs in the mid to upper 80s.  Temperatures will warm as the week goes on with upper level trough moving east and ridge building into the area.  This will also bring the return of moisture as we go into Friday.  Chances of precipitation will be low with mainly isolated afternoon showers and thunderstorms going into the weekend.  Most of these will be in the higher terrain.  The more interesting weather will be in the tropics where Tropical Depression Nine will continue to strengthen.

National Hurricane Center Watch/Warning and Forecast

This system is forecast to become a hurricane by early Thursday morning.  The ensemble GFS model shows this storm could affect the US by early next week.  So if you have plans along the east coast you should monitor this tropical system as it could affect your plans.
