Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia Weather (2025)

08/10/2025

A drier and cooler pattern will be developing for our area. In fact, it will feel like fall outside.

Thursday will be a mix of sun and clouds. The models are not showing any rain. However, the front will be to our east, and could still cause a few showers to develop. The best chance would be in the higher elevations, so I will throw in a 20% chance of rain. The highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 51-54 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and upper 40’s at night.

Friday will be mostly sunny and very nice. The highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 49-52 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and mid 40’s at night.

Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny. The highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 48-51 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and low to mid 40’s at night.

Monday and Tuesday will be mostly sunny with some passing clouds. Temperatures will warm up slightly but will still be fall like. The highs will be 76-79, some of the warmer spots could hit 80, and the lows will be 51-54 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and mid to upper 40’s at night.

Looking ahead- the models are showing our next chance for decent rain after October 17th. The same models are showing another cool down after October 18th. However, that is a good 9/10 days away and a lot will change before then.

Tropical Update- Jerry is strengthening and is expected to become a hurricane in the next day or two. Jerry could impact the northern Antilles and perhaps even Puerto Rico before moving away. Next week a tropical wave is expected to come off Africa some of the models develop this wave. The models are also trying to develop something in the Caribbean for next week. October is usually a busy month for hurricanes and is part of the peak of the season. Any tropical wave that develops needs to be watched. The next names on the list are Karen, Lorenzo, and Melissa.

Our rain chances will be increasing until the middle part of the week as a cold front will move past our area. In addition, temperatures will also be above average. After the front passes, we will have fall like temperatures.

Tuesday will be mostly cloudy, although some locations may see peaks of sunshine. The cold front will get closer to our area. Therefore, scattered showers and storms will be likely. I have increased our rain chances to 60%. The highs will be 83-86, and the lows will be 65-68 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy. Once again, scattered showers, and thunderstorms will be likely. I will keep our rain chances at 60%. The highs will be 77-80, and the lows will be 65-68 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Thursday will be mostly cloudy. The cold front will be past our area but could still trigger isolated to scattered showers/storms. Therefore, I will give our area a 30% chance of rain. Rainfall amounts will vary due to the scattered nature of the showers/storms. However, most of us should see 0.25-0.75 inches on average. Temperatures will be pleasant as the highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 56-59 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and low 50’s at night.

Friday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Temperatures will be very nice as the highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 53-56 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and around 50 at night.

Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny. The highs will be 73-76, and the lows will be 52-55 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and upper 40’s at night.

Allergy report- Ragweed and grass pollen continues to remain very high. We are also starting to see some tree pollen as well.

Tropical Update- A tropical wave is getting better organized in the Eastern Atlantic. The consensus among the models is this wave will become at least a tropical storm. Some models eventually develop this wave into a hurricane. Until a storm develops the models have higher rates of error. The same models are also showing something trying to develop in the Caribbean later in the week to early next week, but that is a long way off.

Temperatures will be above average. However, early next week we will have an increase in rain chances due to a frontal system, and moisture from a disturbance in the Gulf.

Saturday and Sunday will be mostly sunny. The highs will be 82-85, and the lows will be 54-57 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the upper 70’s during the day, and around 50 at night.

Monday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. A frontal system will get closer to our area, and we will have some moisture coming from the Gulf due to a disturbance. Scattered showers and storms will be possible, so I will give our area a 30% chance of rain. The highs will be 81-84, and the lows will be 60-63 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, and mid to upper 50’s at night.

Tuesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The front will move a little bit closer to our area. Therefore, scattered showers and storms will be possible. I have increased our rain chances to 40%. The highs will be 78-81, and the lows will be 65-68 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 70’s during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy. The front will move over our area, and we will still have moisture coming from the Gulf. Therefore, scattered showers and storms will be likely. I have increased our rain chances to 50-60%. The highs will be 77-80, and the lows will be 64-67 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and around 60 at night.

Thursday will be a mix of sun and clouds. Thursday will be pleasant as the highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 54-57 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 70 during the day, and near 50 at night.

Tropical Update- There are 3 areas that might need watching in the tropics. Tropical Spot #1 a disturbance will move over Florida and enter the Gulf. This is the disturbance that will send moisture toward our area. This disturbance could have a short window to transition into a short lived tropical system before moving inland. Tropical Spot #2 is about to come off Africa. A lot of the models are developing this wave into a tropical storm when it gets into the Central Atlantic. Tropical Storm #3 could develop in the Western Caribbean or Bay of Campeche some models are trying to develop this potential low into something.

October is usually an active month for tropical storm/hurricane activity. In fact, October is part of the peak of hurricane season. Since 1990 October has averaged 3 named storms, but over the past several years we have had more than 3 named storms for the month of October.

It does not look like our area will see as much rain as I thought. Most of the models now have soon to be Imelda going out to sea as Hurricane Humberto will likely pull Imelda away from the coast. Temperatures will be close to average, but later in the week we will have below average temperatures.

Monday will be mostly sunny with a few passing clouds. The highs will be 82-85, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. We might still get some moisture from soon to be Imelda as it gets close to the South Carolina coastline. However, any showers/storms that develop will be isolated, so I will give our area a 20% chance of rain. The highs will be 80-83, and the lows will be 60-63 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Thursday will be mostly cloudy. A cold front will move past our area cooling temperatures down. A few isolated showers could develop ahead of the front, so I will throw in a 20% chance of rain. Temperatures will be cooler as the highs will be 77-80, and the lows will be 56-59 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and low 50’s at night.

Friday and Saturday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Temperatures will be nice as the highs will be 74-77, and the lows will be 52-55 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and upper 40’s at night.

Tropical Update- Yesterday it looked like what is soon to be Imelda would make landfall in South or North Carolina. That is no longer the case as major hurricane Humberto seems to be steering it farther off the coast. Imelda could still bring heavy rain to Coastal South Carolina, and parts of Coastal North Carolina. However, most models are now agreeing that Imelda will eventually go out to sea instead of making landfall. Imelda is expected to become a hurricane and could become a high end category 1 or a category 2 hurricane.

Yesterday Humberto became a category 5 hurricane. Humberto will remain a major hurricane for the next several days before moving over cooler water. Humberto is no threat to any land.

Lot to Cover!

Temperatures will be slightly above average until later next week. Our rain chances will depend on the track of what is soon to be Imelda. Imelda could have huge impacts from Savannah Georgia to Kitty Hawk North Carolina.

There are several variables in play concerning Imelda’s exact track mainly a stalled front on the Carolina coastline as well as Hurricane Humberto. There are 3 scenarios in play.

Scenario #1- The front on the Carolina Coastline breaks down. Imelda gets going strengthens becomes a hurricane and makes landfall from Savannah GA to Cape Hatteras North Carolina. Some of the models hint at this scenario, and the same models have Imelda becoming a category 2 hurricane. This would be a very bad scenario for South and North Carolina. Imelda would produce flooding rain, significant storm surge, and wind. The models in this scenario are showing 8-16 inches of rain in the Carolinas, but the models have a history of underestimating rainfall from tropical systems in South and North Carolina. In addition, we would see an increase in rainfall for our area in this scenario.

Scenario #2 Imelda strengthens becomes a hurricane and then stalls off the South and North Carolina coastline due to the front and Hurricane Humberto to the east. This would create flooding rain for the coastline of South and North Carolina. Imelda could hug the coastline several days before finally moving inland. In this scenario we would have some moisture influence, but our chances of rain would be more isolated.

Scenario #3- The front does not break down, and Hurricane Humberto influences Imelda. In this scenario Imelda would be deflected out to sea. Right now, only one of the models are showing this. In this scenario we would not see any rain.

For our area.

Sunday will be mostly sunny with a few passing clouds. The highs will be 83-86, and the lows will be 63-66 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and near 60 at night.

Monday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Monday is when we might could start to see some moisture form Imelda depending on the track. A few widely scattered showers/storms will be possible, so I will throw in a 30% of rain. The highs will be 83-86, and the lows will be 63-66 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and around 60 at night.

Tuesday will be mostly cloudy. Scattered showers and storms will be possible, depending on what Imelda does, so I will give our area a 40% chance of rain. The highs will be 80-83, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Wednesday and Thursday will be mostly cloudy, although some locations may see some sunshine. Once again, scattered showers/storms will be possible depending on Imelda’s track. Thus, I will keep our rain chances at 40%. Temperatures will be cooler as the highs will be 78-81, and the lows will be 59-62 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 70’s during the day, and mid 50’s at night.

Friday will be mostly sunny and nice. The highs will be 75-78, and the lows will be 56-59 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and low 50’s at night.

Tropical Update- Hurricane Humberto is a powerful category 4 hurricane. There is a chance Humberto could briefly become a category 5 hurricane, before moving over cooler waters. Humberto is expected to stay out to sea, but it could influence what will soon be Imelda. Tropical Depression 9 has formed and will soon be upgraded to Tropical Storm Imelda. Imelda is expected to become a hurricane. As I stated above the uncertainty is Imelda’s exact track.

Temperatures will be close to average to slightly above average for the next few days. We could have some spotty showers and storms. However, our rain chances will depend on the exact track of a potential tropical cyclone.

Friday will be mostly cloudy, although some locations could see more sunshine. The front will move past our area, but it will still be close enough to allow the development of scattered showers/storms. I will give our area a 40% chance of rain. The highs will be 80-83, and the lows will be 66-69 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Saturday and Sunday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. A few isolated to widely scattered showers/storms could develop, so I will throw in a 20-30% chance of rain for our area. The highs will be 81-84, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid to upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Monday, Tuesday, and perhaps Wednesday’s rain chances will depend on the track of a potential tropical system. Models are showing the tropical wave around the Dominican Republic becoming a tropical storm and perhaps even a hurricane. What the models do not agree on is the exact track. Some models bring what could potentially be Imelda into South or North Carolina. If that happens, we could see an increase in our rain chances. On the other hand, Humberto could steer what will likely be Imelda out to sea.

Monday and Tuesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. A few showers could develop depending on what happens in the tropics. For now, I will give our area a 30% chance of rain. The highs will be 81-84, and the lows will be 61-64 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Tropical Update- Tropical Storm Humberto formed yesterday and is getting better organized. In fact, Humberto is expected to eventually become a major hurricane. The good news is Humberto is expected to stay out to sea. The tropical wave around the Dominican Republic continues to get better organized, this wave will likely become Imelda. As I mentioned earlier most models develop this wave into a tropical storm and even a hurricane. What will likely be Imelda could make landfall in the Carolina’s or be influenced by Humberto as the two systems could be parallel to each other.

Remembering Hurricane Helene.

It has been a year since Hurricane Helene impacted the United States. Helene was a destructive storm that impacted so many slates. Helene did severe wind damage in the Florida Panhandle, which was the landfall sight, and Georgia. However, Helene was historic and very destructive for the Southern Appalachian region, which includes the Southern States of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina.

The areas of Eastern Kentucky, Northeastern TN, Western North Carolina, Upper South Carolina, Southwest Virginia, and the mountains of West Virginia were decimated by Helene's historic flooding.

On September 20th a tropical low developed in the Western Caribbean. As a Meteorologist this low had my attention from the get go. I remember talking about how this low could be a problem and could develop into a significant storm. I did not like what I was seeing. The low already was developing a spin to it indicating it was getting organized. Also it would be going over water temperatures that were 86-90 degrees.

On September 22nd the broad area of rotation started to tighten. The models started to develop this low into a major hurricane. I had been talking on this page about how this could be a dangerous and significant storm. The next day it was named Helene.

Helene quickly started to organize and quickly became a hurricane as I was concerned about. Of the 5 models that I mostly use 3 started to bring Helene into Louisiana, but 2 of the models brought it into the Florida Panhandle and eventually up Southern Appalachia.

Helene became a category 2 hurricane on September 26th. That day was significant because all the models got on board with a Florida Panhandle landfall and the remnants tracking into Southern Appalachia.

I started to get a huge concerned about flooding in the areas I mentioned earlier for several reasons. First, Helene was a slow moving hurricane. Second, Helene was a large hurricane. Third, the mountains add extra lift and can enhance moisture. In meteorology we call this Orographic Lift. Some of the models was showing 10-20 inches of rain. I was concerned that the models were under estimating the rainfall potential. I begin to state how the models might be underperforming on the rainfall.

On the 26th I remember telling my wife I hope I'm wrong, but I'm highly concerned about flooding for the areas I mentioned earlier. In fact, I stated this might be an event that we haven't seen in a long time from a tropical system. I also told my wife how I believed the models were underestimating Helene's rainfall. After, that I posted a special update on my forecast for our area, but how I thought other places would get more rainfall then what the models where showing.

Later on the 26th due to Helene's large size heavy rain started to make its way into southern Appalachia, even though Helene had not made landfall yet.

On September 27th Helene became a 140 mph category 4 hurricane and made landfall in Florida at peak intensity. Helene started to move northward and produce more flooding inland.

For our area Knoxville TN to Rome Georgia Helene on average produced 3-6 inches of rain with isolated higher amounts. However, for the Mountains it was a historic disaster as I had feared.

Parts of Western North Carolina saw 20-32 inches of rain. Towns ended up being washed away. Mudslides caused destruction and sadly deaths. In Northeast TN communities were wiped out due to flooding. The same occurred in Eastern Kentucky, parts of West Virginia, and Southwest Virginia. Rivers flooding causing more destruction. Just as I had feared the models had under estimated the rainfall as most of the the models kept showing 10-20 inches of rainfall, some had started to show 16-27 inches. As I stated some locations saw 20-32 inches of rain.

What was sad was earlier in the year me and my wife had visited Western North Carolina. We went through several communities as we visited Maggie Valley, and Cherokee North Carolina. By September 29th a lot of these communities ended up being destroyed or severely damage.

While Southern Appalachia has had flooding from tropical systems in the past: Andrew (1992), Opal (1995), Frances & Ivan (2004), Katrina (2005), Fay (2008), Lee (2011), Harvey (2017), and Ida (2021) Nothing compared to Helene.

Overall, Helene caused $79 Billion dollars worth of damage and over 250 deaths. Of the $79 Billion dollars worth of damage $64 Billion of that occurred in southern Appalachia. Of the 250 deaths, 180 of those occurred in southern Appalachia. 150 deaths occurred in Western North Carolina, and the upper part of South Carolina.

Helene was a historic storm and one that will not be forgotten about due to it impacting so many states. Helene also proved that tropical storms/hurricanes can be dangerous farther inland.

A semi-soggy pattern will be developing for our area for this week. A very slow moving front will move toward our area. Every day there will be chances for scattered thunderstorms. The SPC has put our area under Marginal Risks for severe weather for a few days. The tornado threat is low, but not zero. However, a few storms could produce damaging winds and hail. Also, temperatures will be above average until this weekend. We also have some things to watch in the tropics.

Monday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible, so I have increased our rain chances to 40%. The highs will be 87-90, and the lows will be 65-68 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Tuesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible, so I will keep our rain chances at 40%. The highs will be 86-89, some of the warmer spots could hit 90, and the lows will be 64-67 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and around 60 at night.

Wednesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The front will move a little bit closer to our area allowing for an increase in storm development. Therefore, I have increased our rain chances to 50-60%. The highs will be 83-86, and the lows will be 66-69 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and low 60’s at night.

Thursday and Friday will be mostly cloudy, although some locations could see breaks of sunshine. Scattered thunderstorms will be likely, so I have increased our rain chances to 60%. The highs will be 81-84, and the lows will be 69-72 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the upper 70’s during the day, and mid 60’s at night.

Saturday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The front will move past our area but could still trigger a few isolated storms. I will give our area a 30% chance of rain. The highs will be 77-80, and the lows will be 60-63 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 70’s during the day, and mid to upper 50’s at night.

Tropical Update- Tropical Storm Gabrielle is on the verge of becoming a hurricane. Most models show Gabrielle becoming a category 2 and perhaps a category 3 hurricane. The good news is Gabrielle is no threat to land. A tropical wave is in the far Atlantic and is not doing much. However, most models develop this wave into a tropical storm and potentially a hurricane once it gets in the Central Atlantic. Some of the longer range models are trying to show tropical development in the Caribbean at the end of September to early October. The next names on the list are Humberto, Imelda, and Jerry.

18/09/2025

Temperatures will be above average until next week. In addition, our rain chances will be increasing for this weekend into next week.

Friday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. A disturbance could allow the development of a few isolated storms. The best chance will be in the higher elevations, so I will give our area a 20% chance of rain. The highs will be 88-91, and the lows will be 61-64 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 80’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Saturday and Sunday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The disturbance will get closer to our area allowing the development of scattered thunderstorms. I have increased our rain chances to 30-40%. The highs will be 88-91, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 80’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Monday and Tuesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. Scattered thunderstorms will be possible, so I have increased our rain chances to 40%. The highs will be 84-87, and the lows will be 63-66 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and around 60 at night.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy, although some locations could see more sunshine. Scattered thunderstorms will be likely, so I have increased our rain chances to 50%. Temperatures will be near average as the highs will be 82-85, and the lows 61-64 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the upper 70’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Allergy Report- Ragweed and grass pollen continue to be high. We are also starting to see some tree pollen increase, but that is still in the low to moderate category.

Tropical Update- Gabrielle is fighting wind shear right now and is poorly organized. However, the consensus is that Gabrielle will move into a very favorable environment and eventually become a hurricane. The good news is Gabrielle is no threat to any land at this time. Another tropical wave has just come off Africa. Some of the models are starting to eventually develop this wave into a tropical storm.

Temperatures will be above average. In fact, it will feel a lot like early to middle August outside. For September the average high for the valley is 82-84 degrees. Some of us will have very isolated chances for isolated storms, but our rain chances will not start to increase until later in the week.

Monday will be mostly sunny with a few passing clouds. The highs will be 86-89, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night. Due to moisture coming from the Gulf a few isolated storms could develop due to the heating of the day. The best chance will be from Athens TN to Rome GA, so I will throw in a 20% chance of rain.

Tuesday will be mostly sunny with a few passing clouds. An isolated storm or two could develop due to the heating of the day, so I will keep our rain chances at 20%. The highs will be 88-91, and the lows will be 62-65 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and upper 50’s at night.

Wednesday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The highs will be 88-91, and the lows will be 64-67 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and near 60 at night.

Thursday will be mostly sunny with some passing clouds. Thursday will be hot as the highs will be 90-93, and the lows will be 64-67 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 80’s during the day, and near 60 at night.

Friday & Saturday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. A front could get close to our area allowing for the development of scattered thunderstorms. Therefore, I will give our area a 30-40% chance of rain. The highs will be 85-88, and the lows will be 64-67 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the low 80’s during the day, and near 60 at night.

Tropical update- The Atlantic might be waking up. A tropical wave is getting better organized. The models are starting to develop this wave. If it was to become a named storm it would be named Gabrielle. Next week another wave will emerge off Africa some models develop this wave as well. Long range models show tropical activity increasing late September into early October.

This has been an unusual hurricane season. We are in a cool neutral pattern. Normally, cool neutral would favor average to above average hurricane activity. In fact, past cool neutrals produced average to above average activity. This year we have had a very slow start. One reason might an earlier dip in the jet stream that has produced cooler and drier air. However, the hurricane season is far from over. Keep in mind October is still part of the peak of the hurricane season. Over the past few years, we have also had active Novembers.

Allergy Update- Grass pollen continues to remain high. We are also starting to see an increase in tree pollen as well.

Tropical Update- A tropical wave will come off the coast of Africa in the next few days. Some of the models develop this wave into a tropical storm. Next week another wave will also come off Africa models are starting to develop this wave as well. The good news is right now these waves do not appear to be any threat to any land areas.

07/09/2025

The next few days we will have a brief cool down. However, temperatures will rebound and be near average to slightly above average. In addition, we will also be in a drier pattern.

Monday will be mostly sunny with a few passing clouds. The highs will be 78-81, and the lows will be 54-57 for the valley. The higher elevations will be in the mid 70’s during the day, and upper 40’s to near 50 at night.

Wednesday & Thursday will be mostly sunny and start a slight warmup. The highs will be 84-87, and the lows will be 56-59 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and in the low 50’s at night.

Friday will be mostly sunny. The highs will be 84-87, and the lows will be 57-60 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and low 50’s at night.

Saturday will be partly sunny to partly cloudy. The highs will be 83-86, and the lows will be 58-61 for the valley. The higher elevations will be near 80 during the day, and in the low 50’s at night.

Tropical update- The tropical wave I was watching took a more southerly track. Thus, the wave ran into dry air and could not develop. So far this hurricane season has been behaving strange. We are in a Cool Neutral pattern and that would normally favor a season like we had last year. Although, water temperatures have not been as warm as the previous 5 years they have still been 2-4 degrees above average. Normally, these conditions would favor above average seasons. But what seems to be the limiting factor is we have had an unusual track in the jet stream. The jet stream has been farther south. This has allowed cold fronts to go farther south which is pulling down drier air. Now, this season could go crazy in the second half of September and October that is what happened in 2001. 2022 and even last year. If things do not pick up soon in the tropics then this will indeed be one of the strangest hurricane seasons we have seen in a long time.
