Smoky Mtn Observations

Couple rounds of rain potential over the next few days. Tomorrow afternoon a few weak showers and potentially a thunderstorm or two will traverse from west to east across the area. Only light rain expected. Additional showers and storms are more likely Saturday afternoon and night as a cold front approaches the region.

Isolated to scattered showers and storms are expected to develop across the region late this afternoon and evening. There is a low chance that a few storms could become strong, or perhaps an isolated severe storm. Confidence is very low.

Much of today will be dry and very warm, but some scattered showers and perhaps a few thunderstorms will begin moving in later today and will move across the area overnight. The unseasonably warm conditions will continue for the latter half of the work week and into the first half of the weekend. A cold front will bring showers Saturday night, followed by cooler temperatures on Sunday.
