Evening Weather (9/22): It's Fall, Y'all! But it won't feel like it to start the week
SUMMARY: As fall begins, temperatures reached 93°F, nearing a record high. A cooling trend is expected with increased rain chances due to a shift from high pressure to a trough of low pressure beginning Monday. This will bring moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to scattered showers and possible thunderstorms starting Monday afternoon. By Thursday, a potential tropical system forming in the Caribbean may impact East Tennessee weather, with rainfall accumulating to an inch or more over the week. Anticipate changing forecasts as the tropics are unpredictable; stay updated on conditions throughout the week.
Continued hot weather through Monday with gradually increasing chances for scattered showers into the upcoming week.
