Lower humidity but nice and warm this afternoon. A new area of low pressure brings another chance of scattered showers and storms later in the week.

Some notes about the Saturday AM quake in East TN. 1. Deep beneath the surface - damage unlikely. 2. Not as many faults in Eastern U.S. 3. Seismic waves can travel farther.
