AMZ8990

First frost of the year this morning in hardeman county!

The pressure drop, I had saw on Twitter where someone in Chattanooga posted a MB chart and b pressure took HUGE nose dive towards the morning hours. Folks were complaining about it giving them a headache (old folks problems) here is the tweet though, could be BS. Just thought it was interesting when I read it https://twitter.com/MadSquire/status/1321851970227970058?s=20

Did you notice the pressure drop this morning in Chattanooga, Jeff??

You Chattanooga folks feeling the drop in pressure this morning? Saw where you guys bottomed out this morning in chatt around 6 am, was one steep drop off though.

It’s crazy how large that storm was, lots of snow in eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle as well. Hate that Oklahoma got stuck with ice, that’s never fun.

That’s interesting John, thanks for sharing.

Screw that extended GFS but I could totally relate with Kansas football fans, y’all have had it pretty darn bad. But seriously, screw that extended GFS

Heavy rain falling now in hardeman county, supposed to pick up around 1’-1.5’ today. Been raining steady the past 2 hours so we are on track it looks like

That’s what it looking like right now, we’ve got a 60% chance of La Niña for the fall, and 55% chance of it persisting through the winter. And yeah definitely significant if it pans out, we do well in La Niña situations here snow wise. At least for Memphis, I need to look at the numbers for east Tn to see how they match up compared to the Memphis numbers.

Definitely looking like a La Niña brewing, what ya thinking @jaxjagman

Wow

Had some serious thunder and some lighting come thru. Thought it was a tornado coming cause it was so loud, haven’t had that happen to me before. Outside of that nothing to out of the ordinary happened. Definitely some power in a few if those cells though

@jaxjagman did you see the pictures of multiple big trucks blown over on the Tennessee River Bridge I-40 in Decatur county. Looks like 4 or 5 guys had a rough day, wind gust atop the bridge must of been insane.

I guess it’s a good thing that this system moved through just after sunrise instead of during the night. There’s a few neighborhoods that got hit pretty hard. I Have a friend in Memphis who sent me a picture, his neighbor had a enormous Oak tree fall thru the front of the house. Lots of power outages as well.

Interesting morning in west TN today. Had multiple severe cells come thru, lots of rain and wind. Apparently Memphis had a tornado touch down around the cottonwood apartment complex area.

I have a confirmed tornado on the ground 20 miles from my house right now. I’m under a tornado Warning until 1:30. I’ll keep you guys updated

Penn state- that’s awesome man. I hope it went well for you guys!! Thanks for the update on the severe side of the spectrum.

@jaxjagman- you expecting any severe cells from tropical storm Barry over the next few day?

I used to work in a lot of power plants doing switchgear Maintenance on the circuit breaks throughout the plant. All the turbine floors are usually on the 3rd or 4th floor of the plants. First floor is usually a huge open area that runs just about the whole floor with a large crane running in the rafters to move large items down and up from the other floors, and you’ll have a few other non essential things on the first floor. I share all this to say that most power plants can handle a serious flood better than most would think due to the way they are layed out. They also have tons of extra drainage valves through your the plant that are there to help in the unlikely event that a fire happens and the fire suppression system cuts on. Those drains could also help if you had flooding from the river the plant was on as well.

That’s about 10 miles north of me.

I’m under a tornado warning as we speak. It’s pretty ominous outside

I’m under a tornado warning until 6:15 in Hardeman County. Apparently one has touched down in the northeastern part of the county.

Have you broke your February rainfall record John?

Something to keep an eye on for sure

What are you thinking about the cells coming into Memphis now Jax?
