  1. Just had another heavy shower, only had one clap of thunder but it was a loud one. Looks like more upstream.
  2. I'm getting a pre-storm ahead of the line of storms sweeping south.
  3. Picked up 1.5 inches as of midnight. It's still pouring down here. All lightning and thunder seem to have moved out over the last 30 minutes.
  4. It's been absolutely pouring down here for the last hour or so. The light show is amazing. Not anything severe so far here.
  5. A true gulley washer supreme in the area this afternoon.
  6. The line of storms were disorganized over my area and it only rained for about 10 minutes. They looked strong just to my northwest and southwest. Once the line passed my area it has rapidly developed and there's a ton of thunder and lighting just to my south, extremely heavy rain too it appears. Not sure if any upstream redevelopment will happen or not today.
  7. Northeast Tennessee had a massive snowstorm the week before the one here from a similar system. Otherwise that winter was bland but those two events were wild. Wrecked power here for a while.
  8. Another extremely heavy rainer just passed over.
  9. Just had a gully washing storm pop over my area and move NNW.
  10. Ended up getting .65 today from the rain showers. One was extremely heavy.
  11. I'm seeing stories comparing this to the El Nino of 1877-78 which they say was the year without winter in North America. But looking back, Knoxville was near normal in December and -1.2 in Jan and similar in Feb. The El Nino developed in Jan 1877 and peaked in November.
  12. I'm getting an absolutely epic downpour right now from one of those SW moving rain showers. No thunder but massive raindrops.
  13. Ended up with 2.5 inches of rain from that storm in just about an hour. That 55+dbz was about 10 minutes of it.
  14. It was above 55dbz for a while. 55 is 4 inches per hour and 60 is 8.5 or so.
  15. Incredible rainfall rates over the last hour or so. It was coming down so hard a few minutes ago that it looked almost like snow in the street lights.
  16. It's rained and been in the low 70s here today, but some sun is starting to peek out now.
  17. I hadn't been looking at the long lead seasonal models. I'm surprised at how cold they all are for Dec-March. The newest cfs is really cold. Even the long range Euro last I saw had us near normal. It's usually always warm in the long range.
  18. They put my area in the severe t storm watch but I'm on the western edge of it. So not sure I'll get anything. The MCS complex last night wasn't as strong as the one the night before last. It was just rain by the time it crossed my area and I got .20 from it. The night before I got .80 in about 30 minutes.
  19. Another MCS is rolling this way. MRX isn't sure if it will make it but it looks way healthier than hi res models keep showing it after a few hours. I suspect it's going to make it.
  20. Absolutely drenching rain and thunder but after the first burst the wind isn't as bad.
  21. The thunder is almost continuous to my north right now. I've got one dog who hates storms and she's just beside herself.
  22. I always worry about really strong winds with these, especially when it's really warm ahead of them. Always feels like there's that downburst potential. Hopefully it's just a hard rainer like you said.
  23. The storm is probably 35 miles north of me but the thunder is already pretty loud and frequent.
