HUGE Hail On Saturday! Here Comes The Heat.

Many thanks to everyone who sent pictures in to the Channel 3 Storm Alert Team this weekend.
Thanks first to Dusty Strickland of Cleveland, TN for the top picture. He's a science teacher who used the storm as a quick science lesson for his children who are holding up the hailstones that were up to 3" in diameter!
The middle picture was sent in from Sale Creek, TN. Many thanks to Susan Iles for the nice shot of the golfball sized hail at her house. (You definitely needed to yell, "FORE!")
And finally hats off to David Goodwin for the third picture. You can tell he had lots of baseball sized hail in his yard in Cleveland.
This pesky front is still stalled across the area today, but is slightly to the north of Chattanooga. Showers and a few storms are along this boundary early this morning from Athens, TN right through the Bootheel of Missouri. So I think we'll continue to see storms firing along the front and drifting ESE towards us throughout the day and into tonight. Some once again could become strong to severe.
The front ends up to our south for Tuesday and Wednesday so we should end up dry both days. Highs on Tuesday from the low to mid 80s. Wednesday's highs should top out from the mid to upper 80s.
This see-saw front will end up back our way Thursday and Friday with increased odds for showers and storms both days. Highs will continue in the mid to upper 80s.
Then I think the rest of the Memorial Day weekend will be dry, but steamy across the area. Highs will likely end up between 85 and 89 each day Saturday through Monday.
The only real question for weather geeks like me is, "When will we officially hit 90 for the first time at Lovell Field in Chattanooga?"
This past Saturday we hit 87. We were hotter only one other time this year, on April 17th we topped out at 88. So I'll throw a dart at the first 90 and say we hit it on Saturday.
At any rate the ice companies are probably getting ready to work O.T., to cover demand for the upcoming holiday weekend.
