Same thing down here. I watched the storms pop up in the same areas three days in a row. Never rained more than a few drops IMBY. Some parts of town got 4"+ and flooding.

Happened again yesterday. A very heavy shower a mile or two away and nothing here. Today a storm has popped up a couple miles north of me. Loud thunder but unlikely to rain it appears. 

Man, it just happened again. Big storm just split and collapsed around me. 

It's been incredible to see how the rain and storms have danced around my area this week. Only caught a few passing sprinkles as storms fired close and died out as they reached me. The high rain chances for today and tomorrow have faded too. 

Actually made it to 91.5 today here at the house. Tomorrow may be warmer unless a storm develops. It clouded up some in the afternoon here and the temp fell into the mid-80s by 4pmish.

This can not be good for long term effects.

 

 

I saw this several days ago and I'm not exactly clear what the numbers on it meant. For instance is shows 97 across the north slope and highs were in the 40s. But it has it's first ever heat advisory, because they used SPS before this year, and it was for 85 degrees, not 110.

Three miles, 10 minutes and 600 feet elevation difference. 

I was in Chattanooga/Hixson this weekend. It was 98 degrees at my brother's house earlier this afternoon. I arrived back here at my house around 4:45 to 85.4.

It seems to come a tropical downpour here around every 2 or 3 hours, all day and all night and that forecast looks to hold through about Thursday. 

We may get hot after that, but it's so wet, it's tough to get too hot here. It will take some soil drying to pull it off. 

CPC is leaning warm but also leaning AN precip. That particular combo usually means warm nights but day time temps in control due to rain/storms. 

Just had my daily downpour a few minutes ago. I'd like a little sun for my tomatoes and to dry the ground a little. 

Looking at the 30 day forecast for the month of June on accuweather, it shows there being virtually no days above 82 the entire month after the first few days. I think it's derived from the Euro longe range products. I'd normally dismiss it as bluster but it nailed the cool May forecast from mid to late April. It had very few days with highs above 80 this month with several periods of 60s and low 70s, and thats how it played out.

How long will the wet and cool pattern last for ETN? I was spreading mulch last yesterday until late evening and it got cold when the sun went down!!


.

Looks like the cool part will close out this week. 6-10 day and 8-14 favor AN temps but it looks like it may remain wet.

Soon we are due to go negative AMO. Keep in mind soon is measured in years. Here is a smoothed chart from an energy climate page. Yes, some energy companies acknowledge it. We better, if our demand forecasts are going to be worth anything. 

Then the PDO has been a little flaky. It faked out cool phase a few times since 2000. Will it be able to hold? Perhaps the warmer background makes it harder to stick. So, I'm very curious how the AMO goes in the coming decade. Both negative could be epic winters!

Do you think they are actual oscillations still? I saw/read the study and articles stating they aren't since they can't be simulated by climate models without factoring in external forces such as volcanoes and greenhouse gasses, but climate models do simulate ENSO correctly without any other input.  The fellow who first used the term AMO now says he was wrong and that it doesn't exist, as an oscillation, nor does the PDO.

The low Saturday morning at KTRI was 39 degrees which was a record low.

It was 41 here. The high here today has been 64. Pretty impressive for Memorial day. 

Hopefully our north Alabama and Nooga area folks are ready to shelter. 

Storm blew through earlier. Now it's sunny, hot and humid as all get out. 

Don't know if we are still in a favorable supercell environment or not. I assume so with the tornado watch. 

Storming heavily here with warnings to my south and north. 

Tornado warning, Anderson, Knox, Morgan near @Holston_River_Rambler

Looks like the enhanced area expanded again. Still mentions super cells and strong tornadoes, with two rounds of storms. 

14 fatalities so far in the Somerset/London area. I have a friend in the area and all the windows were blown out of their house and the roof lifted off, but they were unharmed.

Multiple fatalities reported in London, KY area. 

Tornado warning for Southern Valley, headed towards @TellicoWx potentially. Very wrapped up cell, rotating on radar that broke out from the line. 

Heavy rain and stout wind here but no tornado thankfully. 

One of the tornadoes hit the London/Corbin Airport and destroyed the medivac helicopter. I read that this is being considered a mass casualty event in Somerset. 

There's another tornado warning just west of Somerset, moving its way at 70mph.
