John1122 Posted Tuesday at 02:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:56 PM The dew point is ridiculous at 75 right now, and I'm already up to 89. 89 was my high yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:07 PM Hitting 90 before 10 AM today. If we mix out dews we probably break 100. Got close yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:30 PM Looks like there are some legitimate 80 degree dew points showing up. KDNN (Dalton) is registering 90/80 with a HI of 107. My PWS has spiked to an 82 degree DP which is the highest one I have ever recorded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted Wednesday at 08:45 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:45 PM Made it to 94 here. Which is hot for mby. I can't remember if I even made it over 90 last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:33 PM These dewpoints are simply unacceptable at these temps. Qatar World Cup weather is not what we need for ours! The only acceptable place for such temps/dews is chasing Bangladesh and with a proper hodograph. Otherwise it ain't right anywhere! I figure with more thunderstorms the humidity will hold in. Now looks like at least low 90s highs drags into next week. Heat index will stay 100 to 105. Guess after about a week of 110 that'll start to feel normal though. Until then enjoy the long weekend. Happy 250 America! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We hit a heat index of 108 yesterday and 110 so far today. I think that's above the advisory level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mid-state and western areas are getting pounded again today as well. I'm not sure why those areas are able to pop storms but they won't pop here. We have all the fuel but no sparks.

Matthew70 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago From my sister in Cookeville District: The Cookeville District remains the hardest hit and continues to have the largest number of outages. Crews are working through widespread storm damage, including downed power lines, trees on power lines, and broken poles. This is a significant restoration effort and will not be completed tonight. If you are still without power in the Cookeville area, please make preparations in case your power is out overnight. Based on current damage assessment, some members in the Cookeville district will remain without power tonight. While we are working as quickly as possible, some outages may take two days to restore due to the extent of the damage.

John1122 Posted 18 minutes ago Share Posted 18 minutes ago Massive thunderstorm finally hit my area. Trees down, power out. It's miserable with the humidity being so high still. It rained 1.5 inches in about 45 minutes in the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
