Inside Scott: Weekend Edition
Good Friday morning, Scott County! 😎 Welcome to the weekend! Here’s a look at what’s happening in the community…
Weather
⛈️ Rain returns to the region today, with thunderstorms likely ahead of another late-summer cooldown.
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 6:55/8:28 • Records: 99° (2007), 46° (1979) • YTD Rainfall: 40.6” (Normal: 38.9”).
Details: There’s a 70% chance of rain today with temperatures in the mid 80s, and the same forecast will hold true tomorrow. Rain will continue to be likely on Sunday, as cooler temperatures sweep across the Volunteer State. We’ll likely be only in the 70s on Sunday, and then we could see temperatures in the mid 70s Monday and Tuesday. That’s nearly 10° below normal for this time of year! The bulk of today’s rainfall will come in the form of a line of thunderstorms and showers that will sink southeastward and arrive in our area around lunchtime, give or take. Although rain remains likely this evening and tonight, we’ll see far more dry weather than wet weather. We could see up to an inch or so of rain as the storms sweep through today. Tomorrow’s rain chances will be more hit-or-miss than today.
Further Out: Temperatures will gradually warm back to around normal next week. Dry weather should persist through next week. After that, the pattern looks pretty close to normal for this time of year through the first week of September.
River Conditions: Streamflows are well below normal. The Big South Fork River is currently running under 90 cfs at Leatherwood Ford (the norm for this time of year is above 200 cfs). Clear Fork is running about 20 cfs. Water clarity is good; water temperatures are slightly below normal for this time of year. We may see some increases to the streamflow later today and through the weekend.
