With the approach of Hurricane Helene, my pal Meteorologist Mark Baldwin posted this graphic earlier tonight.
See that little circled "S" in Tennessee at 2 PM Friday? Yeah, that stands for storm and it's smack in the middle of the Cumberland Plateau.
FYI: The circled "H" in Georgia indicates hurricane, and the "D"s in Kentucky on Saturday and Sunday are tropical depressions.
Mark is forecasting 45-55 mph winds on the plateau tomorrow, with the possibility of some 60 mph gusts. Oh, and rain. Lots and lots of rain.
He's also predicting a 100-percent chance of rain on Saturday, and a 90- to 100-percent chance of rain Sunday. We could get three to five inches of rain. Did I mention the flood advisory? 🙄
Of course, all this rain comes just in time to wreak havoc on the annual Homesteads Apple Festival (can you guess where I'll be –along with Monica Buhaly Hackett – handing out flyers and trying to sell tickets to Crossville Oktoberfest?).
Should be a fun (read that "soggy") weekend!

Stay safe, y'all!

Contrary to previous reports, I did *not* get shut out at the county fair. Apparently, I won first prize for my cinnamon-walnut cookies (yes, the ones that appeared in Second Chances and Brothers By Betrayal)! :O

Bidding ends at midnight Central Time tonight. There's still time to head on over and get your bids in on the Friends of the Art Circle Public Library silent auction. Among the items up for grabs is the opportunity to have your name included as a character in my forthcoming novel, Full Circle.
