Serenity in the South

10/09/2026

IMPORTANT EVENT UPDATE

After closely watching the weather, I’ve made the difficult decision to cancel Serenity in the South tomorrow, Saturday, October 10. The forecast for our area calls for heavy rain and strong winds, and the safety of our vendors, guests, and volunteers has to come first.

I’m truly sorry for this change, especially after all the work and adjustments everyone has already made. Thank you to our vendors and supporters for your patience and understanding.

I’ve already reached out to our vendors, and we’ll discuss a new date and the possibility of an indoor location. I’ll share more information as soon as plans are settled. Please help spread the word. ❤️

🚨⛈️ HEADS UP, TENNESSEE! Strong winds and heavy rain could bring power outages across parts of the Volunteer State this weekend! 🌧️💨

Tennessee folks know how quickly the weather can change around here, but this is the kind of forecast you'll want to keep an eye on.

A weather graphic circulating for this weekend highlights the potential for wind gusts of 40 MPH or higher, along with periods of heavy rainfall across Tennessee.

And when strong winds and soaking rain come together, it doesn't take much for tree limbs to come down, power lines to be damaged, or neighborhoods to lose electricity. 🌳⚡

From Memphis and Jackson to Nashville, Cookeville, Knoxville, and the communities tucked into the Smoky Mountains, it's a good reminder for everyone to stay weather-aware.

If strong storms develop in your area, make sure your phones are charged, flashlights are handy, outdoor furniture is secured, and you've got a way to receive weather alerts.

And please check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone who might need a little extra help if the power goes out. That's what Tennessee neighbors do. ❤️

The graphic doesn't identify an official forecast source or specific storm timing, so be sure to check the latest National Weather Service updates for your county before making weekend plans.

Hopefully, we'll just get some much-needed rain without any serious damage. But it's always better to be prepared than caught off guard.

🙏 Stay safe, Tennessee! Let's look out for one another.

Now tell us… what part of Tennessee are you in, and are you preparing for stormy weather this weekend? ⛈️👇

Keeping an eye on the weather

TD 9 TO BECOME CATEGORY 2 ISAIAS⚠️‼️🌀Tropical Depression Nine has formed over the southwestern Gulf and is forecast to strengthen quickly as it tracks toward the northern Gulf Coast later this week!

As of this afternoon, TD 9 has winds of 35 mph and is moving slowly east. The system should continue generally east to east-northeast through Wednesday, passing north of the Yucatán Peninsula Thursday before making a more pronounced turn toward the northeast and northern Gulf Coast Friday.

The intensity forecast is especially important. TD 9 is expected to become Tropical Storm Isaias soon and then a Hurricane Thursday. The current official forecast strengthens the system to around 80 mph Thursday afternoon, 90 mph early Friday and 100 mph by Friday afternoon as it approaches the northern Gulf Coast. That would make it a Category 2 Hurricane.

The current forecast track takes the center toward the central Gulf Coast, with southeast Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle needing to monitor this closely. However, the exact landfall location remains uncertain, and impacts will extend well away from the center.

Impacts could become significant. There is an increasing risk for dangerous winds and storm surge along portions of the northern Gulf Coast. Heavy tropical rainfall will also be a major concern, with 3-6 inches currently forecast from southeast Louisiana through the Florida Panhandle and localized amounts up to 10 inches. Flash flooding, urban flooding and isolated river flooding will all be possible.

Tornadoes will also be a concern, particularly east and northeast of the center, as tropical moisture and increasing low-level wind shear spread inland.

One important wrinkle is that stronger upper-level wind shear is expected closer to the northern Gulf Coast. That could eventually disrupt the hurricane and cause some weakening near or after its closest approach to the coast, but there is a window beforehand for significant strengthening over the warm Gulf waters.

Anyone from Louisiana through Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle should closely monitor the forecast over the next couple of days. Watches could be issued as early as Wednesday⚠️‼️🌀
