Pop-up thunderstorms on way for weekend

A pop-up thunderstorm is possible to start your weekend but they become likely on Sunday as a cold front moves into our area to give us some relief from the heat. We saw a heat index reading well over 100 degrees Thursday and Friday. By Monday night I am expecting us to drop to around 62 degrees and then expect sunshine and 85 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday.

We are currently into our hottest time of the year and temperatures have soared this week so I thought I would review the hottest day to ever go into our weather record book. The hottest ever recorded in Shelbyville was 108 on June 30, 2012, that was the day that even saw the temperature hit 103 on the Cumberland plateau. The record for Murfreesboro is 109. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Tennessee was 113 at Perryville in West Central Tennessee on August 9, 1930.

The ringed planet Saturn will be brighter than any time of the year Monday and will be visible all night long. The best time to see it is around midnight to 2 a.m. in the Southeastern sky. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn’s rings.
