Thanks for checking in with your morning weather update. We have another active weather day ahead across East Tennessee as tropical moisture remains locked into the region. While not everyone saw heavy rain yesterday, some communities experienced significant rainfall totals, including flash flooding concerns around parts of northwest Knoxville.

Thanks for checking in this morning. If you’ve been following the forecast over the last several days, today is the day we’ve been talking about. A surge of tropical moisture has moved into the Tennessee Valley, and that moisture, combined with multiple disturbances in the atmosphere, is setting the stage for periods of heavy rainfall, tropical-like downpours, and localized flooding concerns across East Tennessee. Not everyone will see flooding. Not everyone will see the same amount of rain.

Thanks for checking in this morning. I hope you’re having a great weekend. After another warm and mostly dry Saturday across East Tennessee, we’re beginning to see the weather pattern transition into something much more typical for June. The heat is sticking around, the humidity is increasing, and multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected as we head into the new week.
