Locking Through....Looking For Some Soakers.

A few more shots of locking through the Chickamauga Dam. Top picture is facing downstream as the gates open, and you can see how big a drop you go through when you look back at yesterday's post. It's pretty awesome. The middle picture is down in the bottom of this man-made canyon. And the bottom picture is looking back as the gates are closing again. Definitely a view I don't get to see very often.
Wow did it heat up quickly yesterday afternoon! Chattanooga zipped up to 96 yesterday once the clouds broke. And I think we'll end up in the lower 90s in most spots this afternoon. But we should see scattered showers and storms late this afternoon into this evening. Then more numerous showers and storms Saturday afternoon. Things should start drying out again on Sunday. Most locations will average 1/2" to 1" today through Sunday evening. But look for some real soakers on a localized basis.
Today: Partly cloudy with a 30% for scattered storms. Highs near 92.

Tonight: Mostly cloudy with 30% for scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder overnight. Lows in the low to mid 70s.

Saturday: A mix of clouds and sun with a 40% chance for scattered showers and storms. Locally heavy downpours. Highs near 87.

Sunday: Partly cloudy with a 30% chance for hit and miss storms. Highs near 90.

Monday and Tuesday: Steamy with only a 20% chance for isolated storms. Highs both days back into the low 90s.

Have a great weekend!
