Four Franklin Firefighters have been deployed as part of a Tennessee Task Force 2 (TNTF2) Type 1 Swiftwater Search and Rescue Team ahead of what is now expected to be Hurricane Debby. They were requested by FL officials and are currently staging in north Florida. This deployment, which is expected to last 14 days, also includes personnel from @NashvilleFD, @NashvilleEOC, and @WCTNEMA. While they're gone, FFD and the other agencies will remain fully staffed and ready to serve their communities. The Franklin Firefighters are Captain Matt Stout, Engineer Daniel Burke, Firefighter-Paramedic Brad Kamau, and Firefighter Rob Thomas.

Precipitable Water is the total amount of water in the atmosphere. This morning's PW was 2.31", which is a record for this date and the 2nd-highest ever observed in June at this station. Hence the flash-flooding in White House this morning, and also the overall mugginess.

It's gonna be a hot Friday, with temperatures most areas reaching the low to mid 90s. (Obviously, the Cumberland Plateau will be more tolerable.) Today, the afternoon heat index will likely top out in the low 100s most places, but tomorrow we're expecting 105° in many areas.

This Independence Day, the Franklin Police Department is reminding residents and visitors to celebrate our nation’s birthday responsibly. Over the next two weeks, extra Franklin police officers will be patrolling the streets, working tirelessly to track down impaired drivers. The police department has also placed electronic message boards in high-traffic areas around the city, reminding motorists not to drink and drive. Every year, the Fourth of July stands out as one of the deadliest times on the nation’s roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, from 2018-2022, there were more than 2,200 traffic crash fatalities during the holiday, 1,414 of whom were the driver. Nearly 600 of those drivers were drunk. Drivers should plan ahead if they intend to drink. They should secure a designated driver or call a taxi or rideshare for a sober ride home. In Franklin, Uber, Lyft, and several locally owned taxicab companies are available. Franklin residents and visitors who see an impaired driver on the road are urged to call 9-1-1.

Iowa is ranked 13th in the defensive power rankings. Tennessee is not ranked in the top 25 of the offensive power rankings. What are you doing @EACollegeFB25

Saturday is going to brutal with afternoon high temperatures in the low to mid 90s (with maybe a few upper 90s in certain areas) across Middle Tennessee west of the Cumberland Plateau. Humidity is going to be awful. So this is what the project maximum heat index values look like.
