Happy Sunday, everyone!

It will be windy and gust with persistent winds between 15 and 20 miles per hour and gusts of up to 30 miles per hour or more this morning. This means that the Windchill feels 5 to 6 degrees colder than the actual temperature, so it is cold this morning.

We will have a high risk of fire in Tennessee and Georgia this afternoon and evening for our communities in Tennessee and Georgia. It is expected that the relative humidity values ​​are between 15 and 25% or lower, which means that they are extremely dry, and the conditions are favorable so that forest fires can spread quickly. Remember that it only needs a single spark to start you. Therefore, it is recommended not to burn anything outdoors today unless you absolutely have to do it. Make sure you inquire about the local combustion authorities whether burning is permitted in your region.

The high today becomes cooler than yesterday with 53 with light and sunny sky. The deep this evening will be under the freezing of 30 with a clear sky.

On Tuesday evening, there is a chance for strong to heavy thunderstorms that go on the way for our southwestern communities in the early Wednesday morning. Strong winds with gusts of 50 miles per hour or more are the two main risks from now on. We will have more details in more detail.
