    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.

    The latest OBS at 6:53 pm, Oak Ridge is still 98 with a HI of 110.

    Made it to 94 here. Which is hot for mby. I can't remember if I even made it over 90 last summer.

    The DP is 75 here and I'm wanting no part of it, 80+ is crazy!
  5. 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
  11. John1122
    The rain is delivering today. Heavy downpours and it actually thundered.

    47-48 was around normal in Dec, cold and very snowy in Jan, AN in Feb. The cold wasn't extreme (nothing below -6) in January but persistent and it was around -7 for the month with 18 inches of snow here. 75-76 were similar but with about half the total snow here. Dec was around -2.5, January was around -5, Feb was AN but the biggest snow event was in Feb. January had a two decent snow events on the Plateau (3.5 and 5 inches), up into Pennington Gap/Wise, Va, that don't appear to have been much of anything outside of the Cumberland Mountain region. That led to 4 different mornings of below zero weather for here, Oneida, and Wise. Snow fell on 14 different days in the month in other areas but it was T to .5 inch amounts and lowest bottomed out around 1-3 in most of the area.

    Managed some rain this evening but not a lot. Hopefully we get soaked tomorrow and Sunday.

    The 06 GFS is advertising a ton of thunderstorms consistently across the area during the next two weeks, with around 8 inches of rain over my area. That would be both a drought buster, and would hopefully constrain the heat a little bit.
  15. John1122
    The 12z Euro came in looking like the GFS, or even hotter, for the lower elevations. 100+ for Nash, Knox, and Chattanooga next Saturday on it. The AI is still more in the low to mid 90s camp.
  16. John1122
    The GFS is still baking the heat into the area but the Euro/Euro AI are more reasonable looking. Still hot but 4-6 degrees cooler than the GFS is advertising. Looks like MRX has followed the Euro temp guidance for my area today vs the GFS yesterday. They had my high at 97 Wednesday during yesterdays forecast, today it's 93. The 12z GFS is showing 98 over my area Wed/Thur/Friday still but the Euro AI shows 90-92.
  17. John1122
    I hope we get some rain down between Friday night and Sunday. Temps near 100 showing up for next week will exacerbate the drought.
  18. John1122
    Ended up with .90, areas 10 or so miles south picked up around 1.5-2 inches. Fortunately its been cloudy and drizzly today with temps in the mid 60s. So the rain has been a able to soak in with not much evaporation loss.
  19. John1122
    It's like Cross Mountain is a wall these days where all rain goes to die. Heavy radar returns just fall apart and the rain just splits. I had about 10 minutes of a shower. I don't recall in my lifetime ever seeing rain dry out specifically over this small area so often. I've seen droughts before but this one seems like almost a micro drought.
  20. John1122
    Norris can use that water.
  21. John1122
    I managed .65 as things were mostly south or north of me.
  22. John1122
    I've gotten a few light showers, but just barely north of me .75 to 2 inches have fallen. I thought the storms in Kentucky were going to move south but they appear to be moving NE now.
  23. John1122
    Looks rough Daniel Boone's way, flash flood warning and a tornado warning both.
  24. John1122
    Already looking like tomorrow's rain will bust again here. Brutal. This fall will be rough if things don't change.
  25. John1122
    Managed 10 minutes of rain. Another big disappointment. Hopefully something else develops tonight. From here to SW Va it is extremely dry. Norris Lake is 15+ feet below normal summer pool for mid-June.
