    Over 3 inch rainfall total to start July and a 3.5 inch deluge on the final day, ended up with over 12 inches of rain for the month. It's been mostly cloudy to completely cloudy for about 2 straight weeks now. I was honestly shocked to see it was a top 10 warm July around East Tennessee. it simply wasn't here. We had a few hot days and lots of humidity but the clouds and rain kept the temperatures in check. I think I got above 90 two or three times. Looks like TYS and Nooga dodged rain like nobody's business. I believe TYS was under 3 inches for the month. Granted in Campbell County alone the Coop station in Newcomb, which is in a deep valley in far NW CC somehow only recorded 2.88 inches of rainfall but areas 5-10 miles away show up in the 10-15 inch range on the AHPS site. I even remember flooding within 2 miles of there at the beginning of the month but looking at coop obs from the first of the month shows the site getting something like .09 inches of rain. I received 3.17 that same day about 10 or 12 miles from there.

    A few storm damage shots from CC from today. This was common across the county and there's a 25 mile long 15 mile wide swath of power outages.

    Huge storm rolled through, knocked down trees all over the county. Power is out for thousands. Destroyed my best tomato plant. It was nearly 10 feet tall with about 40 nice sized green tomatoes on it. Yesterday a deer got three of the tomatoes and today the storm broke out its branches and flattened it, pulled the stakes out of the ground and pulled the cage up. Storm also dropped 1.5 more inches of rain.

    Slightly over 2 inches out of that. Has drifted south of here for now but looks like more developing just to the West of my area.
  5. John1122
    Still pouring 2 hours into it. Frequent lightning as well. Flood advisory issued by NWS. Why can't a snow shower ever develop and expand and then train overhead like this!

    Thought this was going to be a small shower but it has been at it for an hour now. The rain kind of elongated from a small shower into one that back built and is now training from west of the Plateau all the way across my area. If it doesn't die out or drift north or south I'll probably get 2 or 3 hours of heavy rain from this one.

    Spoke too soon, it started pouring at 11:55.

    Had a much more brief shower today and only picked up .12 inches. Looks like another shower will arrive just after midnight. Even though it was dry, it was of course extremely cloudy all evening.

    .58 so far today after a small storm just sat overhead pouring. 9.25 inches for July. Areas in far western CC and Eastern Scott are at well over 10 inches this month already due to that big soaker last Sunday that went right down the border along Cross Mtn.

    I'm a few miles East of I-75.

    .35 inches today in a storm. Another cloudy evening preventing any comet visuals. That's 9 cloudy evenings in a row.
  12. John1122
    .68 in a very heavy shower earlier today. Had another just barely miss me to the west that had a great looking shelf cloud.
  13. John1122
    1.7 inches of rain today, 3.8 inches this week. 7.64 inches for the month so far.
  14. John1122
    More extremely heavy rains today. After getting 3.6 inches of rain the first few days of July we had a dry two weeks. Not so this week. Looks like we may make another run at a double digit month now.
  15. John1122
    It's been cloudy/rainy here every evening this week. What timing!
  16. John1122
    Extremely heavy rains again this afternoon. Long, window rattling thunder too. It had looked like July might finish BN on rain, then this week happened and it's raining every day seemingly.
  17. John1122
    I don't know exactly how the drought monitor works, but I'm on the edge of abnormally dry and I'm sitting at about 20 inches above normal for rainfall this year. The creeks are at probably 125 percent of their normal flow for this time of year. Even with a drier July than previous months, its stretching it pretty thin to start placing my area anything close to abnormally dry.
  18. John1122
    I'm surprised you hadn't seen rain today, Stove. It's been raining here for a few hours. It's also stormed or been cloudy here every evening this week as I try to get comet photos.
  19. John1122
    Two evenings in a row I've tried but a big complex of storms has sat right over the area and points NW, making everything too cloudy to see anything.
  20. John1122
    Gonna try and get a good look at it tonignt. Very hazy evening though, so hopefully that doesn't dim it too much. I read it will peak July 23rd.
  21. John1122
    That would be an awesome visual. Campbell County graduated in late June, there was a double rainbow due to a thunderstorm moving by just to the east of the school. Made it to 89 today. The humidity is impressive.
  22. John1122
    Today I finally got to 90 for the first time this year. It's actually drying out some what here as far as rainfall. In the longest stretch of the year without recording at least .25 of rain.
  23. John1122
    Where in the sky is it? May pop to the top of the mountain and try and get some photos.
  24. John1122
    .41 in a slow rolling thunderstorm a little bit ago. I missed the brunt of it, areas in LaFollette to Caryville flooded and probably got over an inch in about 30 minutes.
  25. John1122
    We get about 10-15 more inches a year than the far Eastern areas like TYS to Tri but it's been ridiculous the last couple of years. The drought in 2016 dried the soils extremely deep and we burned and smoldered for a month. Since that broke each year just one ups the prior. I had virtually no rain last September and still had the rainiest year we ever had. Unless it dries significantly we will beat that record this year. Will likely cross 60 inches on the year this month, which is way ahead of TYS currently and their 40 inches is 15 AN for there.
