yep!!!  Felt it over towards Papermill / Middlebrook area also.

It’s raining......again. And cold......but not cold enough. Redux “winter” ad nauseam.

I just read the article below on how 5G will likely interfere with weather satellites & weather models. It sounds legit, but I don't know enough about weather models or 5G technology to know if it is true or not.

Look at it like this.......some of these weather models can't get much worse!!! But, in all seriousness, it COULD cause the tech guys to up their game and improve the current models. Maybe???

For those with Tapatalk, have they worked out all their kinks?  I had it for a while and loved it, but then they made changes which caused me to delete it.   Just wondering what the user experience is like now?

Works pretty good for me on an iPad and droid phone. But I don’t post as much as many others on here so I can’t report from that end

Don't believe many of these numbers:  https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=MRX&product=LSR&issuedby=MRX

0z Euro looked even better for that. Would be a nice atmosphere for setting up Christmas decorations! 
 
 
 

You mean you aren't like everyone else and have had your tree and other decorations up since November 1st???

David Aldrich (former WVLT chief met) calling for 1-3" in the central valley....2-5" in the mountains.

Regarding the high wind warning across the mountains and foothills, there have been some gusty conditions so far but nothing too impressive (based on Camp Creek data). The overall atmospheric conditions aren't overly favorable for strong mountain waves yet, but that should change significantly later this afternoon and into tonight as the surface low lifts north. This will put the East TN mountains and foothills in a very favorable position relative to the LLJ location and orientation.  The other atmospheric parameters look favorable as well, so there could be some very strong gusts in the usual spots.

Any idea where I can find gust speeds for Cherohala Skyway? We did a Jeep ride over/across it this afternoon and had some strong winds to deal with.

I think this is just all a preview of what to expect for winter:  GFS doing it's own thing while every other model is in step with each other..........only to have downsloping make everyone look silly once again for having the slightest amount of hope.  

It rained in Knoxville!!!!  Oh...wait....it's gone now 

I come back to the boards and now I’m laughing my kibble and bits off at the main thread. All the friction has stopped the hurricane.

And the wobbles

yeah.....I'm headed to PCB next weekend, so I'm already on Hurricane watch 

Looks like David Aldrich at WVLT has lost his job:

All that nice work and he forgot to rotate it....haha.  I did a similar photo (composite of about 40k images) for the January 2018 supermoon.

On a side note...last day of meteorological winter.  This thread will be done soon.

Wait.....you took 40k photos of the moon???  How long did that take???  I assume you stacked them post-processing?  If you don't mind me asking....what lens did you use for that?  

Heard on the radio that Norris had opened their gates, but had part of a dock get stuck in a spillway.

 

Edit: cleared and spilling from all three gates

I hadn't heard this so I went and searched.  Here it is for everyone else who has been in self-imposed exile since Saturday's loss:

So, anyone want to take a stab at winter 2019/2020? Got to be better than this!

Sure!!! Once again, we will all be going ape-poop over analogs, models, El/La No-No status and the various alphabet soup of teleconnections. And no matter how much we prognosticate, analyze, curse, bargain, pray, etc, we will sadly ONCE AGAIN realize that the weather is going to do what it's going to do. We will all be mad, swear off this hobby forever at every tease/bust.....but like moths to light, we will immediately be back when flurries show up in the 384 hour range. For some people it's "Salt Life" or "Lake Life".......but in the Tennessee Valley, tracking the repeated highs and lows of winter weather is OUR way of life - it's what we do.

 

That's my prediction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

From what I can make out this firetruck is near Kroger in Ft. City. 

You are correct. That whole area around Kroger and McDonald's is flooded. And the car repair place at Highland and Broadway. There's a creek that runs through there, but can't recall the name of it at the moment

Haha, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  I thought KY may have a letdown against Missouri.  Looks like they built a lead and kind of coasted to a 66-58 win. 

Did anyone watch the game?  I had to get some sleep, but I wonder if the commentators beat them up a bit for how they looked in an 8 point win?  It seemed to me the crew calling the TN game beat them up pretty good with how they played in only beating Vandy by 12? 

TN struggled again on the offensive end, but I was impressed with the effort on the defensive end.  I thought TN looked solid last night defending.  I believe they will be tough to stop once in the tourney.  I think they will be tough to handle for teams that haven't seen them play.  Can't wait to see how they finish, where they are seeded, and what their quadrant of the bracket looks like!

I watched the KY game.  Pretty physical game and never really seemed that Missouri was a threat to win.  They raved and raved over PJ Washington for KY, and bragged on them for beating TN.  Karl Ravech, Jimmy Dykes and Laura Rutledge were the ESPN crew calling the game.  I like them in the fact they come across unbiased, light-hearted and more factual.  Now that whistle-goober color commentator for the TN game last night.....can't stand that guy.  He always seems to have nothing but negative to say about TN.  Which if it's warranted, then so be it.  But don't let your personal feelings get in the way of doing your job.  The post game analysis from the ESPN studio crew about UT was spot on....it's the grind of February, everyone is tired, and now you are playing teams for the second time this season.....so the games will be closer and uglier because they are already in tune with scouting report and familiar with them from previous games.
