Relief Ahead, Or Is It A Mirage?

I'm told there are two shipwrecks in the Tennessee River near downtown Chattanooga. Look closely at the pictures above. These shots are taken of "The Chattanooga", a paddle-wheeler that went down in about 20 feet of water. You need to click on the pictures to see them full-sized. The sides and the decking are still pretty much in tact, but the paddle wheel is long gone and all that's left are a few sprockets or flywheels from the mighty machinery that once powered this boat. After spending most of our bottom time cruising along the sides and right on the deck, I can see how shipwreck diving could become addictive. While I was underwater hovering above the deck, gently pulling myself along by the fingertips, I tried to imagine what this boat once looked like. The captain was probably proud of her, and might have felt a great deal of anguish when the Tennessee River claimed her. Now I'm curious about this piece of history that sits hidden away in one of the most visible locations in our area. Literally a million or more people pass right by this site and never even know it's there. If anyone knows a bit about the history of "The Chattanooga" or how she sank, I'd love to hear about it.
Now back to our bone-dry conditions.

• So far this June we've had only .15" of rain.
• The driest June on record: 1944 .29" of rain.
• Average rainfall for the first 15 days of June: 1.95"
• Last year June 1st - 15th: 4.00" of rain fell.
• Average rainfall for the entire month: 3.99"

I don't see any rainfall Friday, and you'd have to be very lucky over the weekend to get wet. Although one model has quite a soaking for middle TN, and the Cumberland Plateau. (But I'm wondering if it's picking up on the beer convergence at Bonneroo.) I'd like to leave the weekend forecast dry, but terrain induced showers could pop with daytime heat.

Friday - Partly cloudy and steamy with highs near 91. Code Orange Ozone Action Day is in effect for Friday.

Saturday and Sunday - Partly cloudy and steamy with a 20% chance for an isolated storm. Highs both days 90 to 92.

Monday and Tuesday - 30% chance for some hit and miss afternoon storms. Highs staying up near 90.
