[00:00:30]All right, turned out to be a beautiful day. By the way, thanks for checking in this evening right here on the East Tennessee Weather App. Sure hope you have a great night tonight. We did top out in the 70s, uh close to 80° in Chattanooga. Got a disturbance on the way, though, and that's going to be swinging its way in overnight tonight and through the day tomorrow. It's going to increase our clouds, bring us the chance for a couple of thunderstorms as a cold front swings on through. So, we pick up our timeline Wednesday morning, and not much activity, a mix of sun and clouds. The wind's going to start to pick up a little bit out of the southwest. That's going to help to warm our temperatures up. And as we get into the 3:00 hour, kids head home from school, here come those showers and thunderstorms, and they're going to slide their way on through. No major risk for severe weather up here in East Tennessee, just being barely clipped by the Storm Prediction Center, not expecting much, maybe a couple of strong gusty winds out of that. We'll see locally heavy rainfall, other than that, outside, most of us probably don't get a whole lot.

[00:01:17]Temperatures for morning lows start off in the 50s. That's how we set the stage on Wednesday. The winds increases out of the southwest, helping to boost our temperatures, fuel to the fire, if you will, and that's going to keep our temperatures in the 70s, pushing close to the low 80s. Dew points are going to start to increase, and then that trough swings through, and it's going to drop our temperatures on Thursday. Friday, we're back to near 80, and then that ridge that we've been talking about all week long builds on in, and that's going to warm our temps into the 80s and 90s.

[00:01:44]We're talking heat index values upper 80s to low 90s all weekend long. And just a side note, we've got the Scottish Festival going on Saturday and Sunday in Townsend. A slight chance for maybe a stray shower on Saturday. We'll be watching that. We're at 87, 93 on Sunday, and a lot muggier on Sunday, as well. All right, my friends, I sure hope you have a great night. Don't forget, we've always got 1 minute with Witcher.
