Weather
☀️ Warm, dry weather will continue all weekend long!
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 7:35/7:17 • Records: 92° (2019), 25° (1974) • YTD Rainfall: 46.3” (Normal: 45.4”).
Details: Our run of warm-but-gorgeous weather began yesterday, and it’s going to continue through the weekend. There’s only a very slight chance of an afternoon shower today; most folks will be dry. Otherwise we’ll see abundant sunshine all weekend, with temperatures in the low 80s.
Further Out: There’ll be another very slight chance of isolated showers Sunday night, as a cold front moves through. Much more comfortable temperatures are in store for much of next week. We’ll see afternoon temps generally around 70°. Nighttime lows will drop into the low to mid 40s most nights. We’re going to see very dry conditions all the way through the first half of October, which is excellent news for areas in East Tennessee/western North Carolina that are recovering from the Hurricane Helene floods.
Frost/Freeze Watch: It continues to look like our biggest cold shot of the season, to date, will roll down the pike around Oct. 16-17. This will be a transient cold shot that won’t last long. It remains to be seen whether it’ll get cold enough for a frost or freeze. For now, the growing season continues and the 10/16 timeframe is simply something to keep an eye on.
