Good day, everyone! Welcome to Mike’s Weather Moment! We are continuing to introduce our website www.mikesweathermoment.com which has been in development since February and then went live on the internet on April 10th. Our site is both safe and secure to browse around in as well. Here you can see the local weather conditions and forecast, radar and satellite imagery, along with National Weather Service Hazard Conditions, and the Convective Thunderstorm and Severe Weather Outlook. In the event of Severe Weather in Middle Tennessee especially for Gallatin and Sumner County, I will provide a detailed weather forecast along with critical updates in which folks can plan and prepare for their daily activities. Many of the weather charts which are posted will be in ZULU time. To convert into central time just subtract 6 hours. Example: 1200 Zulu or Z equals 0600 am.
Severe Weather: No severe weather is expected through Wednesday. See the Thunderstorm Outlook Chart button on the website for greater details concerning the National Weather Service Convective and Severe Thunderstorm Outlook.
