The extreme southeast part of white county is under a level two today while the rest of the county is in level one for strong to severe thunderstorms this afternoon.

Good morning, weather peeps, and how is everyone on this mirthful Monday? We are gradually trending toward cooler weather, but it's happening in baby steps. There is still a Heat Advisory in effect for today, but, hey, it's an improvement. Using a Space Balls analogy, we're decelerating from ludicrous heat down to ridiculous heat. (Again, baby steps.) There are also rain and storm chances this afternoon, mainly in areas east of I-65. And there is a low risk (level 1 or 2 out of 5) of severe storms, mainly between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m., primarily along and near the Cumberland Plateau, with strong to damaging winds being the primary threat. Tomorrow, we'll be free from any heat-related advisories as we decelerate once again from ridiculous heat down to just light heat (to quote Lord Dark Helmet).
