7/13/09 This Week's Outlook. More Rain, Nice Weekend!

As expected, the area picked up most of its rain late Sunday night and early this morning. While Chattanooga “officially” picked up .27” of rain in the last two days, many others saw much more.  

  The rain totals dropped dramatically the further east you were.   

Woodville, AL:     3.22”

E. Monteagle, TN:     2.34”

Scottsboro, AL:     2.11”

Summerville, GA:     1.73”

Trenton, GA:     .81”

Altamont, TN:     .71”

NW Dunlap, TN:     .49”

Ringgold, GA:     .44”   For the rest of today, look for a mostly cloudy sky with gradual clearing. Highs in the mid 80s. Becoming mostly clear by tonight.    Tuesday and Wednesday: High pressure from the Ohio Valley will provide plenty of sunshine and hot temps. Both days should reach 90 with a slight chance of afternoon storms on Wednesday.    

Thursday-Friday: A Cold front will approach from the Midwest increasing our chance of rain Thursday afternoon. Due to the slow progress of the front, we have included showers and storms for Friday.

Rain totals could reach over 1” noted below:  

 Saturday-Sunday: What a treat for mid July!! Look for sunshine both Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low to mid 80s and LESS HUMID! Lows will dip into the upper 50s to the low 60s.

See you soon,
