  1. That I could find there hasn't been a SSW earlier than late November recorded. I believe the person I saw talking about it was saying late November/early December was the hinted time frame but as mentioned, that's just pure spitballing off some very long range modeling that was showing rapid 10mb warming there later in November.
  2. Nov '58 had a SSW Dec '58 was -5 to -7 across the state, January '59 was around -3. Early Dec '65 had an SSW Jan '66 was -6 to -8 across the area, Feb '66 was -2 to -3 Nov '68 had a SSW Dec '68 was -5 to -7 across the area, and January '69 was around -3 Dec '81 had a SSW Jan '82 was -5 to -7 in the area Feb '82 was cold from the Plateau and west at around -3 to -5 but near normal far east Dec '87 had a SSW Jan '88 was -4 to -6 in the area, Feb '88 was -3 to -5 Dec '98 had a SSW that produced no wintery effects here, temps were AN the next two months. Those are the only Nov/Dec events that I can find listed. The 1985 event was underway in late December but peaked on Jan 1st 1985. Some happen to late to matter much for winter here, but most of them seemed to produce some really cold temps and snow chances. A few, like 1998, were complete duds.
  3. Models were hinting at a SSW event in late November or Early December. That could pay dividends in January if it comes to pass. Salt boulders with that one too.
  4. Heavy, soaking rains, especially the last two hours. Just what we needed with fire and leaf season on the door step.
  5. Looks like boring weather will prevail the next couple of weeks. Mostly slightly AN temps overall with a cool shot or two to keep it seasonal. Some rain might get thrown into the mix with slight probs of N to AN precip in the area. As long as it's not uber dry and the fire danger is under control, I will take whatever comes the first half of the month and be happy with it, hopefully the leaves keep responding. Reds and yellows are peeking out now and one tree I saw yesterday was about half red already.
  6. Got down to 41 this morning. Beautiful last two days. 60s yesterday and currently 66. Gonna be great football weather tonight.
  7. Afternoon temps in the upper 50s with a few rogue showers. Feels like late October.
  8. Quoting this one because the GFS handled this cool snap pretty well at D11/12.
  9. Hadn't kept up with the forecast for today apparently. Last I saw was a 30 percent chance of scattered storms. Instead it rained steady for around 4 hours earlier. Stayed cloudy and misty the rest of the day.
  10. It's out in fantasy land but the GFS is advertising highs in the 50s and the first frost in the area in late September. I remember a few Septembers with light frosts before. Huge grain of salt with it that far out though.
  11. Heavy rain earlier but a sharp cutoff south of the Cumberlands. Went down to town and transitioned from rain running down the highway and large puddles to stone dry pavement in about 100 yards as I cleared the mountains through Big Creek Gap.
  12. 50 this morning. It was down to 65 in my house around 8am.
  13. My highest point and click is 86 over the next week. I don't see much on the 12z modeling that suggests any just crazy temperatures. Also grain of salt, but the GFS is advertising the first major cold front of fall in about 11 days or so. Looks like high temps would be in the 50s and 60s with lows in the upper 30s or low 40s.
  14. I'm not sure what happened in the 60s but it was a mini-ice age. Every winter then was cold/snowy it seems like.
  15. Dacula Weather has these handy maps to look at regarding the QBO. It's better as a rule if it is falling through winter. But those forecasts above would generally be good news according to these reanalysis maps. https://www.daculaweather.com/4_qbo_index.php
  16. The GFS looks way hotter in about a week over the Ark/La/Tex than the Euro or Canadian. The GFS is throwing out stuff about 10f hotter than those two. Oklahoma is over 110 in spots on the GFS. That heat bubbles into Memphis with 102 there. It's a big outlier right now so I have my doubts about its record heat coming to pass.
  17. 52 degrees this morning. It felt spectacular.
  18. Day one of met fall, highs in the 70s, humidity fell through the day. Hard to beat after the heat, humidity and rain that ended met summer.
  19. This is my second favorite long range thread each year. 60 degrees out there right now and the humidity is non-existent compared to the last two weeks of drippy weather. Was looking forward to heading down to Lenoir City to actually enjoy the best weather of the young high school football season but they had to forfeit due to covid issues. BN temps and BN precip is the forecast for the 6-10 and 8-14 day CPC outlooks. As long as it's not hot and dry I'll take it. I always want to get through leaf season without a wildfire near my house, but about 2 or 3 of every 10 years they get pretty close. Last year the leaves got out of dodge here pretty fast. They were completely gone by Halloween. I went to Johnson City the first week of November and they were still awesome there. The black gum tree in my yard has had some red leaves for about a week now and the sycamore has been dropping leaves like fall already. My windshield was plastered with yellow leaves from it during the rain yesterday.
  20. 4.8 inches since the start yesterday, it's been heavy and steady this evening and it's coming down pretty hard right now. Was at a high school volleyball match earlier and the gym roof started leaking in multiple places during the game. Lots of water on the roof. There was high water in the school parking lot just trying to leave there.
  21. 3.16 inches so far after that inch and a half head start yesterday. The rain slacked off for a bit earlier but it's back to coming down pretty good now.
  22. 1.5 inches of rain from this storm. Still pouring just southwest of me, that will likely work over my area too.
  23. Very heavy rain with some thunder embedded has popped up over my area for the last 40 minutes or so. This a a super soaker we didn't need before the remnants of Ida hit.
  24. It would be a first if there was even a moderate follow up Nina. Moderate Ninas like 2020-21 have only had a follow up Nina one time since ENSO has been recorded and it was weak. The vast majority of the time La Nada follows a moderate Nina. We will see if it pulls off a first and goes moderate or stronger.
  25. It's terrible but that 17 inch rain total is one of the most impressive weather stats in state history. The flood that absolutely devastated this area was 8 inches in 4 hours. I can't imagine the result if we'd added 9 more inches onto that.
