Blew past the record high today at 78. Not sure what the all time December record is, but I bet we were close. I’m sick of this. Someone please bring winter back.

No AC usage yet, but I did spend about an hour sitting on a chair in the yard in shorts this afternoon. 72 IMBY, 74 official. Tied the record.

Fall/Winter 2025-26 WX Discussion Thread

I think the cold is locked in at this point regardless of models. My NWS point forecast has zero snow at all Sunday or Monday, but an overnight low of 23 Monday night. Brrr. -

I drove up to about 3000' on the Cherohala Skyway on summer tires in my GTI during that 2014 snow. I still have a bunch of pictures of it somewhere. I couldn't comfortably drive any further towards the NC line, but I think there was 3-4" on the ground at that elevation and it was still coming down. Super windy and cold too. -

Interesting forecast for Monday. Last night at 00Z the euro was on an island showing a heavy precipitation event over northern GA and SE TN caused by what looked like a cutoff low. It disappeared at the 12Z runs, but now the GFS has it. Official forecast for now is sunny skies, but two models have shown 4-6” of rain. -

2.54" Monday, not as much expected today, but we could still crack 3" for the week. Looks like even more heavy rain is possible Sunday-Tuesday. -
Yeah that 2019-2020 Winter was awful. We got really lucky with a quick wet 4" snow late in the season down here, but my coldest temperature that entire season was in mid November. It never got truly cold again after that.

I think that happened here in early December around 2008 or 2009. We had a light snow event occur simultaneously with our first freeze. I remember my mom's impatiens were still alive and covered with snow. -

Pretty sparse rainfall down here so far. I got 0.46" Sunday morning, but very little since then. -
51.7 IMBY this morning. I was up at Fall Creek Falls Monday and Tuesday. I'm not sure what the low temp was Tuesday morning, but it felt like upper 40's. Excellent running weather.

More than one CAM has a repeat performance tomorrow over Chattanooga. Similar rainfall amounts. Hope that’s wrong.

The worst flash flooding we have had in years is underway right now. 4-6” of rain hit right at rush hour. Cars are floating on I-24 in East Ridge. 5.64” in my gauge.

Is it even in Knox County? I've always pictured it being closer to Maryville than Knoxville.

Finally got a real frog strangler last night. Over 2" of rain between 9-11 PM. Getting hit again this afternoon also.

I still can't catch a break here. This should be the wettest month of the year. We average over 6" in July. Halfway through and I'm at 0.77. And all but 2 days have been 90+ so what little rain we got vaporized quickly.

I still can't buy a raindrop here. Strangely, my only real rain the past three weeks came on a day with zero chance of it. I got a random shower that dropped 0.15" on Sunday. Nothing before and nothing since.

Blanked again. I think that's 5 days in a row of 60% or better POP's and only 0.06 total to show for it. I guess I start watering the lawn tomorrow. First time this year.

Same thing down here. I watched the storms pop up in the same areas three days in a row. Never rained more than a few drops IMBY. Some parts of town got 4"+ and flooding.

I haven't watered at all this year. Not even my planting beds. And I'm cutting my grass every 5 days.

We have many roads closed right now due to flash flooding. I’m betting the Hixson area has had 5” of rain this afternoon. Frequent hail too.

In 2023 we made it to July 1 before we hit 90. This year we may not make it through the first week of April. Friday and Saturday are going to be close. Official forecast is 88.

I'm a little surprised to not see a high wind warning from MRX for the valley tonight. We appear to be surrounded by them on all sides now. My point forecast mentions gusts to 55 mph, which I believe is well within warning criteria.
