Sorry for the loss, it's hard watching our parents get old and pass away. Once they do, it's a short trip til we get there too.

Yes, I have had some pretty dry weather here this year but last night it poured from 7:30 to 10ish then it rained another half inch overnight. I do average 60+ inches of rain a year though.

It rained an inch here between 7 and 9:30ish. So the low models for the weekend busted already.

It's been a real soaker this evening. I'm sitting in my car at halftime of a high school football game since the band was unable to even play.

The models are waffling on rain amounts, with some at less than .5 to others at 2+ inches over the weekend. I always like getting a nice soaker in October to lower fire danger. There are almost always fires here in October, but if we get a good soaker they tend to just burn the surface leaf litter and don't get deep into the soil to root burning level.

42 two mornings in a row. Hopefully this week's warm up is limited to this week.

It's here!

Nothing severe here today but heavy rain and lots of thunder going on out there.

Couple of rounds of storms last night and temps are in the 70s currently. Finally close to normal.

The largest/highest heat dome on the entire planet is centered over Tennessee according to Ryan Hall. We edged out the one over the Sahara Desert. I see forecasts calling for a cool down after next Tuesday. The 12z Euro came on board after the 0z was wall to wall warmth.

Looks like we will run the gauntlet of misery for the whole month. The advertised cold fronts keep getting push back and blunted. If we get lucky, we might have a few days of normal temps by next weekend.

Had a strong thunderstorm yesterday, and it delayed the football game for an hour or so. Storms fired today but got going just south of me. So had some loud thunder but only a little rain.

Fingers crossed....toes too. Snow forecast difference this year vs what fell in 2025-26 through the end of February 2027. The UK Met Office seasonal Copernicus model, February not included. It's enthusiastic about January.

1954 is the hottest start to a September we've ever had. 4 of the 6 hottest September days ever recorded in Knoxville happened in the first 10 days of 1954, all of them were over 100 degrees. 15 days of the month were 90+ and 4 were 100+. October saw a mix of warm and cold but it snowed on Halloween. Winter was BN Dec, BN Jan, AN Feb.
