    Didn't rain much at my house today so far, but I'm on the lake for trivia night and it came an epic rainer at the boat dock. One clap of thunder in the whole thing but it probably rained an inch in 25 minutes.

    June of this year, just taking Tri as a quick sample, had a high of 94. It rained 5.38 inches at Tri in June after rains came in late month. June of 1957 saw Tri have a high of 93 for the max. And it rained over 4 inches late month to push them to 6 inches of rain for the month. July of 1957 was extremely dry at Tri. .79 inches total. We will see how July plays out there this month but they've already recorded nearly that much rain. Winter that year, there was a minor 1-3 inch snow event for most of the state mid-month with a quick shot of frigid weather in mid-December. Areas that get upslope did best with the 2+ inch totals around the Plateau/SEKy/SWVa, but there was snow on the ground from Memphis to Bristol at the time. January was actually cool and BN, but it was El Nino below normal. Meaning there were only a couple of really cold days in January, with well below freezing highs and no sub zero type cold. But the highs were muted too so Jan of '58 was around -4 to -6 across the area but it wasn't extremely cold at any point. Moisture and cold refused to link up so the biggest snow in January was 1-2 inches for the area but some snow fell on about half the days of the month without amounting to much more than a dusting to a half an inch. In February brutal cold arrived and snow did too, we started the month with a 3 inch event then added 1.5 inches to it as snow showers lasted the next two days with highs in the lower 20s and lows around 12. From Feb 8th-19th it only got above freezing two days imby. We had a 4 day stretch of below 0 lows and there was an 8 inch snow fall, highs in the lower 10s followed the big snow and the coldest low was -10. It was a forum wide snow event, Memphis and Nashville got 3-5 inches. Crossville got 8 inches. Knoxville and Chattanooga 7 inches, Tri got 9.7.

    That heavy shower delivered an inch of rain. The deficit is being chipped away at but the lake level is still 10 or so feet lower than normal summer pool.

    Of course right after I posted that it starts absolutely pouring down here.

    There's been a lot of cloud to ground lightning with these storms.

    Today the heavy rain has popped up a couple miles away from me in every direction at different times. I've gotten about .15 so far. Areas just E/S/N/W have gotten .5 or more. Apparently there's little or no steering currents. They seem to just kind of drift in various directions.

    Todays storm has popped up right over my area and has been sitting here for a while. Heavy rain coming down but not much thunder and no severe aspects.

    December of '82 started really warm, that's why it finished AN. Temps were near 80 early in the month. By mid December highs were below freezing and lows were in the low single digits after a 10 inch snow event on the Plateau. Knoxville got around 3-4 from that event, if records are to be believed. Tri had 6+. It warmed dramatically for Christmas of '82 as well, with highs in the 60s/70s.

    Today's storms popped about 10 miles south of me and headed away. I doubt the rain sw of me makes it here today. Future radar shows it collapsing.

    Some of last night's after math.
  11. John1122
    .95 in 30 minutes.

    MRX re-introduced pops for today. Torrential rain with a storm that is just now winding down. About to go check the rain gauge.
  13. John1122
    They were moving east to west earlier then started moving S to N. My current forecast is dry tomorrow but you guys may have a better shot at storms.
  14. John1122
    I was actually at Turkey Creek in a movie and it thundered there and had rained when I came out. East of there was drier and I got back here as the storm was hitting hard. It moved S to N.
  15. John1122
    Massive thunderstorm finally hit my area. Trees down, power out. It's miserable with the humidity being so high still. It rained 1.5 inches in about 45 minutes in the storm.
  16. John1122
    The mid-state and western areas are getting pounded again today as well. I'm not sure why those areas are able to pop storms but they won't pop here. We have all the fuel but no sparks.
  17. John1122
    The latest OBS at 6:53 pm, Oak Ridge is still 98 with a HI of 110.
  18. John1122
    Made it to 94 here. Which is hot for mby. I can't remember if I even made it over 90 last summer.
  19. John1122
    The DP is 75 here and I'm wanting no part of it, 80+ is crazy!
  20. John1122
    The dew point is ridiculous at 75 right now, and I'm already up to 89. 89 was my high yesterday.

    82-83 was a very strong Nino year, one of the 3 strongest. We had a big snow in December, two decent ones in January and another in February. Temps were AN in December and normal for J and F. 1997-98 was a top 3. We had the massive NE Tennessee and then Plateau snow storms. December had several inches fall between Christmas and New Years. January was snowless here but NE areas got smashed late month. We got it a week later in Early February. Otherwise winter was mild. 2015-16 was a pretty snowy/cold winter for most of us I believe. So there's always a good chance of a big snow or several during the strongest Ninos. But the base pattern is likely to he N to AN temp wise.

    Had another rowdy and loud thunderstorm about an hour ago that put down nearly half an inch of rain. I assume it will just add to the humidity tomorrow.
  23. John1122
    Just had another round of rain but the worst of the flooding has receeded. Plenty of neighborhoods near creeks were under 3 to 4 feet of water, and a highway is closed due to a rock slide. The main creek near my house rose around 8 feet in about as many hours. It was basically in a low to almost no flow state through one opening and around 12 inches deep where it goes under the bridge. Now it's flowing through all three openings and it's around the 9 feet deep mark. There was a fairly large area of Morgan, Scott, Campbell and areas just south/east that got 6-8 inches of rain.
  24. John1122
    Closing in on 6 inches of rain since yesterday now, with it still coming down pretty good right now. Only an occasional rumble of thunder.
  25. John1122
    The rain is done the opposite of busted today, and we are flooding. Heavy rain and thunder going on out there now. I've not looked at the rain gauge this morning yet, but 1.5 inches had fallen when I checked at midnight last night and it's poured all night since then.
