Your new year is a look at what's going on downtown from the ep fiber up to ask whether kim if you look carefully at the clouds.

You can see they are moving there heading in a north northwesterly action and old glory downtown.

Getting a thorough workout as well.

We do have a wind advisory that is in effect until 2 o'clock this afternoon.

Again, when advisory in effect to flash flood advisory in effect until ... nine.

Source of precipitation goes all the severe weather all of the potential for any more damaging rain were storms is now well-off towards the east role was back a little bit longer than normal.

Just to give you a idea the magnitude of the scope of this deadly deadly storm system passed through the area.

We are going to have to deal with some clouds but the wind despite having a wind advisory that will help dry up some of the oyster that still standing around out on the roadways again last one until nine wind until two and several dry days ahead.

I don't think we'll see any additional rainfall probably until the up coming weekend.

Murphy tellico, decatur and cleveland as well as scottsboro all at 610, we have got 59 and four noble corp.

Chattanooga an fort a these wind gusts though especially to drive a high profile vehicle take extra caution they have taught 40 miles an hour for good part of the morning.

Right now it's coming in and out of the north west dunlap experiencing wind gust right now 48 experiencing wind gust right now 48 mph, as we have a look at the rest of the day we are going to see clouds mixed in the sunshine.

Temperatures 63 to 60.

Temperatures 63 to 64 for the afternoon high, and if you're keeping track of such things.

W did set a new rainfall record yesterday.

That was just up until mid at that point we had recorded 3.13 inches of rain the highest one-day total for 12 april since 1979.

What 41 years ago.

Over the next seven days were looking at 63 tomorrow possibly a sprinkle tomorrow evening late.

I think i want to take that out of the forecast.

Just don't see that realistically, to realize will be pushing 70 on thursday, but at no point during the next seven days until we had sunday.

Do we see the temperatures for the afternoon high getting close to normal, which is seven we'll talk more about that as we had throughout the morning.

I believe we have dan item standing by right now with timesaver traffic actually will get with them, and appear in just a few minutes right now back to the desk ... you're right as we kick off the 7 o'clock hour taking a more in-depth look at our forecast.

This is obviously the alignment caused the damages.

The building collapses.

The flooded roadways and deaths last night.

This is sort of the lingering wraparound oyster fro that and that to is quickly heading off towards the east.

You may see a sprinkler tube that will be brief and in and out very very quickly and for the most part we stay dry until we get into the upcoming weekend.

Tellico and murphy and the blue ridge northward throug dayton all and 610 that your current reading of scottsboro was well on eagle in downtown chattanooga a tad cooler at 59 now the flash flood watch continues until nine this morning.

Partially because we had over 3 inches of rain 3.13 to be exact.

That set a new record breaking the previous record of just over 2 1/2 inche that we set 41 years ago.

The wind advisory stays in effect until 2 o'clock this afternoon.

There's a slight sprinkle chats late late tomorrow but i think that is minimal at best.

Sustained winds right now of 17 in cleveland 20 wanted dunlap and they are obviously gusting quite a bit higher coalmont it dunlap a bit earlier had wins gusting upwards of 50 miles per upwards of 50 mph 50 mph wind gusts that combined with all of the other damaging straight-lin winds assert the caused extensive damage all throughout the area will have a complete look at that coming up in a moment downtown from the epb fiberoptics whether tim that work 590.

Our anemometer is on the fritz for another little while the anemometer's instrument used to measure wind gusts of wind speeds cooler, drier air, working its way and this will help dry up a lot of the oyster that is standing out on the road and this afternoon we should see highs not too far away from where you are right now.

64.

Here in town.

Much of the area will stay in two.

Much of the area will stay in 250s, early morning tomorrow.

Were looking at upper 30s and lower 40s than tomorrow afternoon were getting back up into the lower 60s here in town a little cooler for tomorrow night.

Heading int wednesday morning.

Most of the year it will be into the mid- 30s so you could see some frost in a good part of the area.

Again, this is tomorrow night.

Heading into wednesday.

Heading into wednesday afternoon cooler is only into the mid-50s.

It's lie closer to our typical early- morning low that it is the afternoon but we are going to see a lot of sunshine throughou the next chance of rain roles i for probably mid day saturday and then another batch of moisture will be forming back to the south west that rolls through late sunday heading int monday.

There's a lot of changes coming up over the next seven days were talking temperatures in the lower 60s today and tomorrow 570 on wednesday and then it does start warming up a little bit but again frost is a good good about much of the area for the next couple of overnight time frames.
