NOAA Predicts Mild Winter for Tennessee with Limited Snow Chances

NOAA

This winter in Tennessee is shaping up to be warmer than usual, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts above-average temperatures for December 2024 through February 2025. This trend, influenced by La Niña conditions, suggests a milder winter with less likelihood of snowfall for most of the state. La Niña, which occurs with a cooling of the Pacific Ocean's surface in the central and east-central equatorial regions, typically brings warmer temperatures and lower precipitation to the southern U.S., while the northern areas experience cooler and stormier weather.

Tennessee has a 33–40% probability of warmer-than-average winter temperatures, as forecasted by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. The northern parts of the state may see slightly more precipitation, although snowfall remains unlikely. The Farmer's Almanac echoes this prediction, indicating a winter season that will be "more wet than white."

NOAA

La Niña events, which typically occur every three to five years, differ significantly from El Niño events, which bring warmer-than-usual surface temperatures in the Pacific. Both climate phenomena have distinct impacts on weather patterns across the U.S., with La Niña favoring a warmer South and El Niño generally cooling it down.

As we approach the winter season, marked meteorologically on December 1 and astronomically with the winter solstice on December 21, Tennesseans can expect a season that feels milder than typical years.

2024 Veterans Day Specials 

Here’s a list of all the Veterans specials we could find - there’s probably more, though! Enjoy your day on Veterans Day!!

Spring Hill High School’s Theatre Program Presents an Evening of One Acts

Spring Hill High School’s Theatre Program is proud to present An Evening of One Acts featuring the zany comedy All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play and the heart-wrenching The Yellow Boat.  

All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play - A stuffy narrator guides the audience through the whole sorry process of putting on a play that is “less than good”.    We go from auditions – where the director is more worried about roast beef than paying attention – neurotic cast members who do all kinds of warm up exercises before the play, a passive – aggressive stage manager that causes quite a bit of fear, etc.     This play within a play will not win any awards,  but it will keep the audience in stitches.     

The Yellow Boat - The story of The Yellow Boat is a glorious affirmation of a child’s life and the strength and courage of all children.  This beautiful dramatization is based on the true story of David and Sonja Saar’s son, Benjamin, who was born with congenital hemophilia and died in 1987 at the age of eight of AIDS-related complications.  

The cast of ten students play numerous roles in both plays, and it has been a wonderful challenge for all the talented young people involved. This evening of entertainment will be something you will not want to miss.

SHHS Box Office opens at 6:00pm, Seating begins at 6:30pm, and the performance begins at 7:00pm. Tickets are $10.00. There will be concessions available before the performance and during the fifteen-minute intermission between the two performances. Concessions are provided by SHHS PTSA.
