    All the rains are teasing this area today. Gust fronts & thunder but no rain. sigh

    Not but a few drops IMBY. It’s literally like a desert here. Everything is already looking like winter. Hopefully the trees do not die while going dormant. I feel this is much worse than 2016 for this area. The two driest months still to come. Ugh.

    Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s a small fix and quick one at that. So true about fall foliage. Leaves are falling quickly in many parts of the area and never had a chance to change.

    https://www.wate.com/news/smoky-mountains/flint-gap-fire-in-the-smokies/ Burn ban now in effect for Rutherford county that I live in. The leaves are coming down like snow. Many are green with some yellow. My yard is the worse I have ever seen it. Completely dead. Looking forward to the cooler days but if we don’t get rain it’s going to get ugly I’m afraid. My neighbor is a forest fire fighter. He said right now it would take 5-7” to end our drought. Any rain would help but with the driest months coming up. He said pay attention. We live next to the woods.

    Snow fell in the Sierra Nevada mountains for first time in August since 2003.

    Lower temps & lower humidity with these dry conditions spells trouble as we lose more leaves to the drought. I was in Gatlinburg this past weekend. They are dry also. We need a week of rain.

    Drought is making strong comeback

    I’m starting to not like this long dry spell we are in. We are almost right back where we were before what rains we did get IMBY. The LR does not show much promise of soaking rains either. Plus climatology is we are approaching those drier months. Lower humidity & leaves already falling from the dryness is not a recipe I like.

    I must say this weekend the wx is going to be absolutely perfect for August standards. Screen porch in the evenings will be my spot.

    Round 2 incoming later tonight. Heads up!
  11. Matthew70
    Heads up plateau east down to the Chattanooga. Strong line of storms heading your way.

    Ended up with a big ole ZERO for rain last few days. Ground is already drying out today. Drought will commence here IMBY. Sigh.
  13. Matthew70
    Unless something develops most of the midstate west of the plateau will miss on the rains today. Was hoping to get more rain. Smyrna has not cashed in like others have.

    Agree. When you see the black & grey coming out of those into the sky. You know it’s a serious eruption. I believe we are going to see more volcanoes becoming active in America. We are way past due for it to happen. If Yellowstone was to go off then we all know that would be a very bad situation for America.

    Absolutely crazy that me and my family were there 13 days ago in that spot.

    Yesterday was a frog strangler. Today the heaviest went around us. Still got about .50. The grass definitely greened up from the rain. I was blowing leaves before the rain. Unreal blowing leaves in July. Hopefully we can get a lot more this week. Crossing fingers!

    Hardly any rain IMBY also. South of 40 pretty much struck out. My redbud is losing leaves rapidly now. Many of the trees on the woods behind me are losing leaves. My yard is gone. Definitely will be overseeding in the fall if we can get rains to soften the ground for aeration. It’s going to be fall here early. A large brush fire broke out locally here Sunday. It was put out thankfully. Lower humidity is nice but increases fire danger the longer this drought goes on.
  18. Matthew70
    Well, the trend continues. The rain just does not materialize.. the drought is growing by the week. I’m watering my trees, but they are definitely struggling and leaves are already falling.
  19. Matthew70
    Absolutely has been perfect wx here in Yellowstone & Tetons so far. Now by Wednesday it’s going to be a furnace here also. 93-95 highs. I love this area!
  20. Matthew70
    Let’s hope Beryl makes TN wet this week. I’m on my way to Yellowstone. Would love to come back to green grass.
  21. Matthew70
    Sadly the last 2 chances of solid rain have went poof here. A solid line of storms & rain looked certain to hit mid TN. Nope it all fell apart. Sigh.
  22. Matthew70
    Definitely obvious the soil here in Johnson City is dry. Amazing how brown it is compared to Nashville. Here moving my son into his apt. for pharmacy school. Good to be back in the part of TN I grew up in. Missed the mountains.
  23. Matthew70
    Yes thankfully we had a really good storm here today. I’d say close to an 1” of rain. Another solid chance of rain Wednesday. If we can just string together some storms every 3-4 days then maybe it can keep at least some things green for awhile longer.
  24. Matthew70
    It just does look good for my yard this summer. I would have to spend a lot of money watering it to keep it somewhat healthy. The heat & dryness I believe is not going to let up until maybe mid September. At this point I think im going to focus on my shrubs. They are new & those I don’t won’t to lose. I will just have to have over seeding done in the fall. My fear is we have a bad fire season. Leaves will fall early if the heat & drought continues. Long range paints July as brutal. Ugh.
  25. Matthew70
    My family & I head to the Grand Tetons(staying in Jackson Hole) & Yellowstone (staying in west Yellowstone) July 6-13th. My in-laws are out there now. Snow still on ground in higher elevations.
