We got 1/2” last night. That’s better than nothing. Just enough to keep everything slightly green & surviving.

Drought brings forth more drought. Rain chances are diminishing for Sunday. Then looks like an extended dry period. With summer on the doorstep. There is going to be a lot of burn bans. I would not be surprised if this drought continues to worsen that the 4th fireworks will be cancelled. We won't be mowing yards much longer. I hate brown summers & go right into more brown during fall & winter. Hopefully what looks to be dry turns into wet.

Thankful for the rains we received. I’d say a solid 3-4” through out the midstate. Love seeing the cooler temps. I will gladly take a cool May. The longer the heat is delayed the shorter the summer in my opinion.

I dread thinking what this summer will be if we don’t start getting rains soon.

Definitely some interesting days ahead. NAM yes the egg nog drunk NAM at its end which is poor resolution paints conditions into the area west/middle TN. Conditions that anything that can take advantage of that environment could be quite rambunctious.

Definitely something to watch. That hint of a possible secondary low on the GFS is something I never like to see. That backs the winds. Then we might have the leftover boundaries from storms, which is a bad thing by adding fuel to the fire. If anything, I see some strong winds and hail.

At this point I just want some rains. The drought here in middle is taking hold unfortunately. I definitely will not have a yard by June at this point. My yard is already showing dryness that usually does not show until July.

My wife & I were driving back from seeing our daughter at college. We were between McMinnville & Woodbury. I have never seen or driven through winds like that. The debris hitting my truck was crazy. It would lighting & the whole sky would light up. When I say it looked apocalyptic I mean it. It was as black & RED as I have ever seen a sky. I believe the red was from all the dust it was picking up from all the dry fields. Definitely one of the most intense times I have ever experienced with winds. Thing is these winds did not just last a minute or two. They last easily 5 minutes. I figured easily a 5 mile wide gust front of winds.

Well pretty much all the rain what little there is went south of middle TN. Ugh.
-
Sadly the rains were meager if even that for the midstate. The winds were some of the most intense I’ve experienced. I was driving home from seeing my daughter at college. My wife was scared at how bad it got. It does appear the drought is taking hold & usually dominates the wx when they do take hold.

Well that rain line was just a splash. I sure hope more develops. I was surprised to hear the news reporting in Asheville on so many wild fires already over that way. I’m hoping this does not turn into a long drought with a lot of fires. My yard already shows summer type cracks.
-
Drought is going to be a major problem at the pace we are approaching one.
-
I’m really sorry to hear this. I will keep you & your family in my thoughts & prayers. May you all find strength & peace eventually in the coming days, weeks & years.
