6:30 AM | **Somewhat unsettled today through Sunday, but there should be plenty of rain-free time...looking wet and stormy for Memorial Day**

Paul Dorian

A cold front grudgingly slid through the region yesterday and will stall just to our south by the early part of the weekend. Additional disturbances will ride along this stalled-out frontal boundary zone through the weekend bringing us the chance of showers and thunderstorms from time-to-time; however, there should be plenty of rain-free time as well so not at all a total washout. An unsettled weather pattern early next week with a deepening upper-level trough of low pressure will bring us a good chance of showers and thunderstorms on Monday, Memorial Day…some of the rain can be heavy, some of the storms can be strong-to-severe.

7:00 AM | *A warm and unsettled stretch of weather*

Paul Dorian

A warm and unsettled weather pattern will continue across the Tennessee Valley right through the upcoming weekend as an upper-level trough hangs nearby. After a rain-free day at mid-week, the chance for showers and thunderstorms will return later today and likely continue on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

7:15 AM | *It was during the height of the Cold War and a solar storm nearly sparked a nuclear confrontation*

Paul Dorian

Interesting…seeing a pattern here with powerful solar storms that have taken place during the month of May. Earlier this month, one of the strongest solar storms in many years occurred generating the northern lights in such unusual southern latitudes as Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Additionally, I posted an article last week about what was arguably the most powerful solar storm of the 20th Century which also took place during the month of May (13th-15th) during the year 1921. Today’s posting is about another powerful solar storm that took place during the month of May - this time in the year 1967 - and it almost caused a nuclear confrontation between the two superpowers at the time…the US and Soviet Union.

It was during the height of the Cold War and a powerful solar storm could have led to a disastrous military conflict between the US and Soviet Union if not for the early efforts of the US Air Force to monitor solar activity. On May 23rd, 1967, a solar storm took place that was so powerful, it jammed radar and radio communications in polar regions and the US Air Force actually began to prepare aircraft for war thinking the nation’s surveillance radars were being jammed by the Soviet Union.  Fortunately, space weather forecasters in the military suspected there might be another cause and they relayed information about the possibility that a solar storm could have been the reason for the disrupted radar and radio communications.  As it turned out, this information was enough to keep the planes on the ground and the US avoided a potential nuclear weapon exchange with the Soviet Union.

7:00 AM | **A shower or thunderstorm at just about anytime today and tonight...some of the storms can be strong**

Paul Dorian

A cold front will grudgingly slide through the region today and then stall just to our south at the end of the week. There can be a shower or thunderstorm at just about any time today and tonight and some of the storms that form can be on the strong side. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will diminish some on Friday and then increase again this weekend as disturbances ride along the stalled-out frontal boundary zone. The weekend will not be a total washout, however, as there should be plenty of rain-free time. An unsettled weather pattern early next week will bring us a good chance of showers and thunderstorms on Monday, Memorial Day, and likely Tuesday as well.
