I just got a very wintry sleet and rain mixture. Gotta love the NW flow sleet. -
Winter 23-24' Wx Observations Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
Same as John here in Morgan county. Not quite cold enough. -
Saw some lightning as I was driving in from Kingsport. Flashed over Wind rock mountain and I just happened to be aimed that way coming over the hill on highway 62 just before Oak ridge. Nice heavy showers all the way up to the plateau at 1300 feet. Powell I think your locations is colder than me at this time.

Absolutely blasting snow on Beech Mt though. Here is photo series of it moving in: -

I have a friend who is at the foot of Grandfather Mt right now at around 4000 feet and she says all rain there. -
If y’all have a minute and are near a computer check out the Beech Mt resort cam. You can see the storm rolling in from the valley. I’m definitely going to try to watch it since temps are still in the upper 30s up there.

It was definitely a weird feeling morning down this way. Mommatus clouds rolling in, in the AM, then rain, then clearing, and nice convective clouds in the PM:

Unfortunately, probably looking at a Thunder in the Mountains Watch later this week. -
I’m ready for cool and rainy now, but I’m sure I’ll be over it by mid Feb.

Hopefully we can get some clearing late tonight in western areas. I’m in Boone strangely enough and the sun just came out for a hot minute. I was looking forward to trying the iPhone long exposure again but I’m not too hopeful up here this evening. -
A little clipper action on the 18z GFS for eastern areas.

Well it was a near run thing at least. Just a little too much flattening in front of phasing shortwaves.

Looks like the OP 12z GFS might be headed for an epic phased gulf storm out in fantasy land.

This little upper level disturbance seems to be over performing in the west Knoxville area. Just drove into town and it was pouring.

I am so sorry @PowellVolz -
2023 Fall Mid-Long Term Discussion.
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
There was a person about 2 miles SE of me trying to burn a big pile of brush Thursday and there's another guy trying to clear several acres to my NW who has ongoing smoldering fires. There's probably a hundred yards between those fires and the woods, but TBH there is a non 0 chance that either could hop to the woods and if that happens I'm screwed. At least the guy with the several acres is trying to control his brushpiles, but the guy to my SE just started burning his brush Thursday. I still see folks throwing cigarettes out the window in highway 62 between Oliver Springs and Wartburg. I guess its the typical "well my house isn't on fire so it doesn't concern me" crowd. We had a pretty good rain for like 5 minutes yesterday evening, I could even hear it in the house. What in the world happened to this El-Nino pattern early this fall? Up through maybe mid August it seemed like we were going to to have a pretty wet fall. There were some days it just rained and rained and then *poof* it evaporated. Some of the driest fall records we are breaking in some locations go back to the late 1800s. GFS for the qpf win this morning: Ensembles see at least and inch to be likely by next week, but we'll see if that actually pans out. -

2023 Fall Mid-Long Term Discussion.
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
This front has been as disappointing as TN's performance vs Mizzou. But at least in terms of rain, I think it's coming slowly but surely. I wish we could get out of it quicker, but I think only a tropical system could do that. A lot of underperforming on global wrt to qpf lately. Drove from just south of Wartburg, to Knoxville, to Kingsport today and man the smoke was bad between let's say exit 4 and exit 15 on I-81. Random new wildfire on the mts above Oliver Springs too. 18z Euro still seems optimistic: -

Both the EPS and GEFS also put us under the right entrance region of a jet, which would be nice for the drought if it pans out. GEFS: EPS: -

If nothing else it also looks like rain may start to fall more regularly soon!
