July 17, 2025 Tri-Cities Weather Blog Forecast

Thursday, July 17

As we hit late afternoon on this Thursday, our weather is calming down some…except for near Marion and near the state line in Carter County. It looks like more storms may be developing, though, so our unsettled weather pattern will continue into tonight…and well into the weekend. Welcome to the Tri-Cities Weather Blog forecast through Monday!

  • Tonight-Partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms (flood watch until midnight). Lows near 70.
  • Friday-Clouds will be around along with more rain and storms at times. High 88.
    • Friday night-Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Lows near 70.
    • Saturday-Cloudy with scattered showers and storms possible at any time. High 87.
    • Sunday-Cloudy with more rain and storms from time to time. High 87.
    • Monday-Partly cloudy, some scattered showers and storms again. High 88.

Yes, it is summer, and that to some degree means afternoon showers and storms from time to time. This year, we’ve had waves of days in a row with not so many of those, and then a lot! Some of them have even had severe characteristics…which for the most part doesn’t happen so much unless the storms are toward the end of their life cycles.

The weather news in the very near term is that the National Weather Service office folks down in Morristown have put us all under a flood watch until midnight tonight (July 17). That is because a lot of us received a lot of rain late last night, and was basically to cover if storms today covered the same areas. Training of storms can overwhelm the ability for water to soak in, which can cause flooding. And with all the recent news about flooding elsewhere

The forecast does include showers and thunderstorms pretty much at any time period for any part of the day. But that doesn’t mean a “raining all day” situation. We should have long periods of dry weather with rounds of rain and storms in between. These storms are not moving through like a line of storms, but forming then moving around the area before they lose their intensity. Then, what’s left of those storms form new ones in different places around the Tri-Cities. It’s very interesting watching the storms work, both in looking at the sky and on radar!

So, while things will be quite warm the next few days (although about at our average for this part of July), there are also good chances of rain between now and then, pretty much at any time. Enjoy the good weather while it’s around, and stay safe when it’s not so good at times through Monday!
