I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging. We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather. The app typically will receive the messages instantly. I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.

WWW.WEATHERTALK.COM subscribers, here is my day to day schedule for your weather products.
These are bonus videos and maps for subscribers. I bring these to you from the BAMwx team. I pay them to help with videos.
The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area. They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.
The long-range video is technical. Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video. Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

Here is the latest WPC/NOAA rainfall outlook.
This graphic takes us through Saturday morning.
Check out the East Coast. A catastrophic flood event is going to happen in some towns and cities.
Rain is not anticipated locally through Friday. Small chance of a light shower tonight and Wednesday.
As we move past Sunday the WPC/NOAA has outlined portions of our region for rain. This would be from Florence. At this time, confidence in this happening remains low. I continue to monitor guidance.
This graphic takes us through next Wednesday morning
This graphic takes us through next Wednesday morning. Some places may receive 20 to 40 inches of rain. Simply incredible. This will be a horrible storm for many people out east.
We offer interactive local city live radars and regional radars.
If a radar does not update then try another one. If a radar does not appear to be refreshing then hit Ctrl F5 on your keyboard.
You may also try restarting your browser. The local city view radars also have clickable warnings.
During the winter months, you can track snow and ice by clicking the winterize button on the local city view interactive radars.

- Clouds today and perhaps a light shower.
- Calm weather through Sunday.
- Hurricane Florence.
Another straightforward forecast. Mostly calm weather into the weekend.
We do have some clouds to deal with today. I can’t rule out a light shower. This would most likely occur in the Missouri Bootheel, western Kentucky, and northwest Tennessee. The chances of more than 0.05″ is small.
Most areas will remain dry.
Here are the 9 AM temperatures and cloud cover. Notice the clouds become thicker the further south you travel. That is the forecast for today. Clouds over portions of the region and sun and clouds elsewhere.
The next weather topic will be warmer temperatures. We will experience a slow temperature rise today into the weekend. Friday into Sunday will deliver calm weather with highs in the 85 to 90-degree range. Nothing extreme, but warmer.
Dry weather Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Dry weather may last into Monday and Tuesday. The long-range forecast confidence drops once we move past Monday. This is because of Florence. Florence could eventually bring clouds and rain into our region, but confidence in this happening remains low.
Monitor updates.
Here is the 9 AM satellite view of this major hurricane.
The bottom two images are from the International Space Station. They took a few photos earlier today.
Powerful hurricane.
