I encourage subscribers to use the app vs regular text messaging. We have found text messaging to be delayed during severe weather. The app typically will receive the messages instantly. I recommend people have three to four methods of receiving their severe weather information.
Remember, my app and text alerts are hand typed and not computer generated. You are being given my personal attention during significant weather events.
WWW.WEATHERTALK.COM subscribers, here is my day to day schedule for your weather products.
These are bonus videos and maps for subscribers. I bring these to you from the BAMwx team. I pay them to help with videos.
The Ohio and Missouri Valley videos cover most of our area. They do not have a specific Tennessee Valley forecast but may add one in the future.
The long-range video is technical. Over time, you can learn a lot about meteorology from the long range video. Just keep in mind, it is a bit more technical.

- Warming trend
- Rain-free weather through at least Tuesday
- Hurricane Florence
Wow, the weather sure has been calm this week. We had plenty of rain last week into the weekend. This week has simply been wonderful. Locally, at least.
Warm weather will continue into the middle of next week. Daily highs in the middle to upper 80’s. Overnight lows in the upper 60’s to lower 70’s.
We will have a daily chance of fog as we move into the overnight hours and early morning hours. Patchy dense fog is possible. As always, use care.
Great camping weather this coming weekend. I hope you can get out and enjoy it.
Dry weather is likely to continue through at least Tuesday and perhaps Wednesday.
At this time, it appears Florence should miss our region. I am carefully monitoring trends. A few models bring rain into our region.
Please visit the National Hurricane Center’s website for the latest information on Florence.
The National Hurricane Center will be issuing forecasts on this system.
