SUMMARY: A Williamson County vet clinic warns of a surge in bobcat fever, a deadly tick-borne disease affecting cats. Transmitted by Lone Star ticks, the disease is usually harmless in bobcats but often fatal in domestic cats, who may die within 72 hours of symptoms like fever, lethargy, poor appetite, and yellowing skin or eyes. The Fairview Animal Clinic reported nine cases in two weeks, with only two survivors. Dr. Eric Ful stresses prevention and early detection, recommending keeping cats indoors or using the prescription Cerestore prevention collar. While dogs and humans can carry ticks, they do not get the disease.

SUMMARY: Hazy skies today in East Tennessee are caused by smoke from Canadian wildfires carried by northwesterly winds due to a low-pressure system over the Great Lakes and a high-pressure ridge to the west. While surface air quality remains acceptable, higher smoke concentrations persist in the mid and upper atmosphere. Spotty showers and thunderstorms, some potentially strong with gusty winds or small hail, are expected mainly north of Morristown and in southeast Kentucky this evening, with activity easing overnight. Sunday will start dry but bring afternoon storms near the I-40 corridor southward. Next week promises warmer, mostly dry conditions with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
