  1. Not because I’m a fan but I think Tennessee is a terrible matchup for Creighton. Won’t be the first time I’m wrong but what Tenn does well on offense and defense is not what Creighton wants to see. That being said, Tenn can’t shoot as bad as they have the last several games and win. Below 40% in 4 of the last 5 will not beat Creighton. One thing that give me hope is the Texas game was our crap the bed game we have lost every tournament but this time we were good enough to win. Creighton plays solid team defense but everyone of their losses, the other team had a player they couldn’t guard one on one. Creighton is gonna have a hard time with DK. .
  2. Return flow off the GOM has been closed for business. I don’t know all the reasons for that, I just haven’t went looking for why but east of the Mississippi River has absolutely dodged some bullets. The April 1st, 2nd system doesn’t look like return flow will be an issue, especially on Tuesday. If we get a phase over the mid west this could be a high end event. Gonna be pushing 80 in Knoxville with DP’s in the mid 60’s but it’s hard to tell the depth and quality of GOM return flow. .
  3. April 1st and 2nd has an interesting look to it. Mid South, Ohio Valley region .
  4. Like you said we are still several days out from the potential weather maker for the first of next week. IMO I would continue to follow the local NWS for the area in question like you are doing. However I’d say there’s a high likelihood of a impactful system from the mid west to the east coast from Sunday through Tuesday. Really hard to tell right now if this is gonna be a widespread rain event or a quick hitter squall line. By Friday afternoon the NWS should have a better handle on the local impacts for your location. We have some very talented weather enthusiasts on this site so check back in on Friday afternoon if you still need some help. .
  5. Here’s the averages for March 2016. If I’m reading this right, the average temp was +14 degrees and if you look at the first week of the month the average mean temp was 46 degrees. .
  6. I’m sure it’s up there. I don’t keep up with the numbers that much but March 2016 was very warm. I play a lot of golf and I remember Bermuda was coming in towards the end of March 16’ and it was wiped out the week before/of Easter that year. We had mid to upper 20’s for about a week that year. A friend of mine owns a landscaping business and I help him out some when he gets backed up. That year we replaced over 120 crept myrtles at his Ihop stores. We learned a hard lesson that year. Do not trim back crept myrtle shrubs until the first of March. .
  7. Just noticed redbuds are 50-75% in depending on tree location. I’m sure this isn’t an anomaly but this does seem quite early by a few weeks or so. .
  8. One cold night shouldn’t be a major issue and let’s not forget that lows in the 20’s this time of year once or twice is almost expected. For the most part everything that’s blooming now or budding can handle a night or two of temps below 29 degrees. Temps below 29 degrees for more than a couple of nights is when I get concerned. I also think the mods could be a couple of degrees too cold considering there will be a 10-25 mph wind blowing at times. .
  9. Looks like we might be trying to cook something up in about a week but the airmass out in front of the system could be a issue .
  10. Terrible situation in Ohio tonight. .
  11. Interesting… yesterday after church I started clearing out two landscaping beds. I’m redoing them and reshaping the beds itself. Underneath a Japanese Maple I’ve got some “big blue” which is basically miniature monkey grass that spreads together and makes a nice thick ground cover that gets purple blossoms in late summer. So I was transplanting that yesterday and ran across two white(ish) gray baby snakes alive and kicking hiding in the 6” grass. I’m not a snake expert by no means but this seems a little early in the season. Unfortunately one of them I chopped in half but the other I relocated to a creek that’s 150 yards away. Thoughts? .
  12. I’m just about positive we had damage in Powell and Halls from a tornado during this event. .
  13. My memory is terrible but spring 2016, do you remember the overall pattern? We had a very warm March. So warm that I remember golf courses were almost green by the end of March and then we had about a week long freeze right around Easter that wiped out a lot of Azaleas, crept myrtles and fruiting trees. Hoping we don’t repeat that spring. (If my memory has the right year but I’m almost positive it was the same year as the GSM park fires). .
  14. Looking ahead…. I’m sure we will have the normal ups and downs temp wise but as of now it’s not looking like we are going to be dealing with any severe cold right? .
  15. The week or so in January was epic though. 9” here, still had 4” or so a week later. Probably never said that before. .
  16. First cut of the year. Still a little blotchy at the bottom from last year’s drought. .
  17. For those of you in SE Tennessee…. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid026FgSTbWgugzxTDZZTTin9xX7FfNzW5SoXRqcjdTzMVs5xgng9BfoEwZAr9vgXTt5l&id=100063610086970 .
  18. I love a March surprises but it’s gonna be 70+ for 3 days this week, so we don’t need any surprises now. .
  19. Looks like Wednesday went poof. That’s never a bad thing. .
  20. I have friends that have lived in the same area for 45+ years and when I send them a weather map, I can tell they are confused with where they are looking at. Mind blowing to me. My son is 9 and he can point out to where we live without cities on it. .
  21. I’m kinda in spring mode now. Seems like a warm February tends to lead a delayed spring. I’m sure we will have a couple cool days down the road but I hate extended cool periods in April. .
