...Nashville and Crossville Nearing Records for Most 90 Degree
Days In a Year and Driest September...

Unusually hot and dry weather has continued across Middle
Tennessee for several weeks thanks to a persistent upper level
ridge of high pressure. This has allowed the number of days with
temperatures reaching 90 degrees or higher in a year to approach
near-record levels. In addition, the lack of rainfall so far this
month has now made this September one of the driest on record in
Middle Tennessee.
