  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. .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.
  4. .35 inches today in a storm. Another cloudy evening preventing any comet visuals. That's 9 cloudy evenings in a row.
  5. .68 in a very heavy shower earlier today. Had another just barely miss me to the west that had a great looking shelf cloud.
  6. 1.7 inches of rain today, 3.8 inches this week. 7.64 inches for the month so far.
  7. 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.
  8. It's been cloudy/rainy here every evening this week. What timing!
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Where in the sky is it? May pop to the top of the mountain and try and get some photos.
  17. .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.
  18. 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.
  19. Picked up more heavy rain around 6 to 7 pm. Prompted flash flood warnings here. Ended up with 3.17 inches today.
  20. July came in like June left off. An extremely heavy shower parked overhead earlier. 2.1 inches of rain from it. Ended up at 8.93 for June. Wild when that's one of the drier months in the last 7 or 8 months.
  21. Another .5 inches this evening. 2.9 for the day. Gonna approach 10 inches again this month if the rain come back in overnight and tomorrow.
  22. Still pounding down here and it's lined up to Louisville, Kentucky and pointed right at our area.
  23. 1.1 inches overnight. Another 1.3 inches this evening with another round moving in, more flooding in the area. That's over 3 inches in the past 36 hours. June is going to be another month with well AN rainfall.
