🌧️ LOUISIANA FLOODING: While Arthur has been fairly tame for us this far north, parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and southern Alabama have been dealing with significant flooding concerns.

One of the hardest-hit areas today has been near Cottonport, Louisiana, where an astounding 25 inches of rain has fallen over the past 24 hours, with the vast majority of that falling in just the last 12 hours. It’s an absolutely incredible and highly localized rainfall event.

This amount of rainfall is being classified as a “200-year flood” event. Despite the name, that doesn’t mean an event like this only happens once every 200 years. Instead, it means there’s a 0.5% chance of rainfall and flooding of this magnitude occurring in any given year at that location. It’s a statistical way of describing how rare an event is.

Closer to home, a few scattered showers will remain possible through the night, but for the most part, today’s activity across Southern Middle Tennessee has come to an end.

RC COLA-MOONPIE FESTIVAL 🍪🥤

The weather is looking pretty sweet for the RC Cola-MoonPie Festival in Bell Buckle on Saturday! Expect partly cloudy skies with afternoon highs in the mid 80s. I can't completely rule out a stray shower (around a 10-20% chance), but most of us should stay dry. If you're running the 5K or 10-mile race, temperatures in the low to mid 60s will make for a very comfortable start to the day.

Have fun, and maybe save room for a MoonPie or two!

⛈️ While showers and thunderstorms will continue through this evening, the Storm Prediction Center has removed Southern Middle Tennessee from the severe weather outlook for the rest of the day, which is great news!

🌧️ Heavy downpours and localized minor flooding remain possible, but the severe weather threat is low.

☀️ Friday and much of Saturday should be much drier with lower humidity and comfortable temperatures.

🌦️ Unfortunately, the break won't last forever. Rain and thunderstorm chances increase once again on Sunday and continue into Monday.

In today's blog, I break down:
• What to expect for the rest of today

It's been a busy weather day across Southern Middle Tennessee, but thankfully, some of the concern from earlier forecasts has begun to ease. Showers and thunderstorms have blossomed across the region this afternoon as tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Arthur interacts with an approac

Good morning! We’ve gone over the details and setup of today’s weather system several times now, so I’ll keep this update focused on the latest KEY MESSAGES through tomorrow morning.

• Scattered showers are already ongoing across the region this morning, and additional activity will continue to develop throughout the day.

• Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible at any point today. There is very little skill in pinpointing exactly where storms will develop, so everyone should be prepared for periods of rain.

• We continue to message that a few storms could become stronger this afternoon, producing gusty winds and heavy rainfall. There is no tornado threat today.

• Rainfall totals will generally range from one-half inch to one inch, although some locations will receive more than one inch while others see less than half an inch. That’s simply the nature of scattered summertime thunderstorms.

• The parent cold front responsible for today’s activity will move through between 8 PM and midnight tonight, bringing one final round of showers and storms before conditions gradually improve into Friday.

I’ll be keeping a close eye on the radar throughout the day and will provide updates as needed. Thankfully, the greatest flooding and severe weather threat will remain well to our south along the Gulf Coast today.

This is a bit of a longer post, so bear with me for a minute… I feel like I end up making a post like this every so often, but there’s something that’s been on my mind lately. 🤣

Southern Tennessee Weather actually started way back in October 2016 as Shelbyville Weather. Believe it or not, it was just a Twitter page at first. In March 2018, I expanded to Facebook, and I’ve been here ever since trying to build something special for our community.

The way people get their weather information is changing. More and more people are moving away from traditional television and looking to social media and digital platforms for updates. Along with that, I’ve noticed a lot of new weather pages and really sloppy weather content popping up across Facebook and local groups.

I’ll be honest… it can be frustrating for me to look at.
I’ve invested countless hours and a lot of my own money into building Southern Tennessee Weather. From weather cameras and specialized equipment to the website, mobile apps, livestreams, and daily forecasts, I work every day to provide accurate, local weather information for the communities we call home.

What sets Southern Tennessee Weather apart isn’t flashy graphics or anything like that. It’s local knowledge and a genuine investment in the people here. I live here. I work here. I care about this community, and when severe weather threatens, I’m right here with you.

If you enjoy what I do, the single biggest way you can support Southern Tennessee Weather is simple: like, comment, and share my posts. Every interaction helps more people see reliable local weather information and helps this page continue to grow. If you’re a business trying to grow your footprint in the community, I offer many solutions to help you get customers in the door.

I have big plans for Southern Tennessee Weather. As far as I’m concerned, we’re just getting started!

I’m not saying that someone without a meteorology degree can’t do a good job. In fact, I have several close friends in the weather community who don’t have one and do excellent work. But I do think it’s becoming increasingly important to know where your weather information comes from. Anyone can create a page with AI graphics and post a forecast. It’s worth taking a moment to ask who’s behind it, what their experience is, and whether they’re truly invested in the communities they serve? Or are they trying to rack up the biggest “coverage area” possible for fun?

I’m proud to be a National Weather Service certified social media account, a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador, and a degreed meteorologist. I’m even prouder to serve Southern Middle Tennessee every single day.

Thank you for supporting this crazy dream of mine. I couldn’t do it without y’all. ❤️

So when will Arthur’s impact leave and what does that mean for Southern Middle TN?

All this and more in 90 seconds. That’s right in that sweet spot between “I’ll watch this” and “I wonder what’s in the refrigerator.”
