low temperature

Here in Cookeville, TN, we had a high of 94 degrees on four different days during August (4, 5, 20, 21)  Our low temperature this month was 55.5 degrees on the 12th and 17th.  Our average daily temperature was almost 2 degrees BELOW normal. 

July was a great month (weather wise) here in Middle Tennessee. With my apologies to the good guys at AlabamaWX.com, here is my attempt at 'by the numbers'!!

0....number of CoCoRaHS stations which reported rain on 7-3 and 7-17 in TN

1.....days in which the high temperature stayed in the 70's*

Let's look at a synopsis of the first ten days of July...

Average Low Temperature: 62.1

Normal High: 87.1

Total Rainfall: 3.89"

Last year through this period

Outlook for rest of month...

Tight pressure gradients ahead of a front will cause winds to increase significantly today. 15-25 mph will be the rule and we can't rule out gusts of 35 mph.

Temperatures will be very warm...approaching 80° today and Friday.

Be careful if you head to the lake or drive a high-profile vehicle.

We had more than 1/2" of rain overnight here in Middle Tennessee. No rumbles of thunder were heard here at my home. I do expect a chance of showers later today as a cold front approaches from the west. Rainfall amounts shouldn't amount to much with frontal passage, but we will keep an eye on things.

2008 has gotten off to a rousing start!
