Active weather is in store for the Tennessee Valley region on a couple of occasions going forward and it includes the chance for severe weather. First, there is the threat for scattered thunderstorms around here this morning as an upper-level trough pushes through the region and then another round of storms is likely this afternoon and evening with the passage of a cold front. Any storm this afternoon and evening can be on the strong-to-severe side and isolated tornadoes cannot be ruled out. A stronger storm will move from the Central Plains from next Tuesday into Wednesday and there is the potential for heavy rainfall and strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity.

High pressure will edge into the Tennessee Valley today generating some dry and warm conditions with highs in the lower 70’s. The nice weather will be short-lived; however, as an upper-level trough shifts this way on Friday from the middle of the country. This system will raise the chances here for some shower and thunderstorm activity as we close out the work week. In the wake of this system, high pressure returns this weekend and should control the weather through Monday.

An upper-level trough will deepen as it closes in on the area today leading to clouds and the chance of afternoon showers. The threat for showers will continues through tonight as well and can even last into early Wednesday as this system tends to slow down in its eastward progression. One final note, you may have noticed some purplish sunrises in recent days and weeks. This is still the result of the Tonga volcanic eruption that took place back in January. Fine volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere scatter blue light which, when mixed with ordinary sunset red, produces a violet hue. The purple color is often preceded by a yellow arch hugging the horizon. As the sun sets, violet beams emerge from the yellow, overlapping to fill the western sky with a soft purple glow.
