In Depth:
Continuing hot & dry weather conditions will only serve to persist drought conditions across the area. Today's updated drought monitor did show some localized improvement from Francine, but because Francine didn't bring widespread rain other parts of Middle Tennessee saw significant increases in drought severity. Essentially, Francine didn't stop the drought, it just redistributed it. Here's today's report.
Compare that to last week's drought monitor and you can clearly see some improvements for areas West of Nashville, but areas East continue to experience increased drought.
We'll continue to add to our tally of 90-degree days through the weekend as summer heat persists despite Fall arriving on Sunday.
A weak cold front will approach early next week bringing the chance for a few intermittent raindrops Monday/Tuesday and some slightly cooler air by the middle of next week.
