    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Where in the sky is it? May pop to the top of the mountain and try and get some photos.

    .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.

    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.

    Picked up more heavy rain around 6 to 7 pm. Prompted flash flood warnings here. Ended up with 3.17 inches today.

    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.
  11. John1122
    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.
  12. John1122
    Still pounding down here and it's lined up to Louisville, Kentucky and pointed right at our area.
  13. John1122
    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.

    .85 rain yesterday. Been having heavy rain and thunderstorms training here for several hours overnight. Not looked at the rain gauge yet but won't be surprised it it's 1 to 1.5 inches or more just based on how hard it's rain and how many rounds have rolled through.

    Another afternoon with the temp at 69/70. So rare for it to rain all day in summer too unless a hurricane is involved.
  16. John1122
    It was cloudy here at sunset. I was expecting some vivid colors but no such luck.
  17. John1122
    The dust certainly lived up to its billing. There's just a bit of brown tinge to all the haze and it's way thicker than normal summer haze.

    They are very easily scared, fortunately. At least the ones here are. They aren't the Gatlinburg city bears that people watch. Those are the ones to worry about.

    Hot and sticky for my walk this evening. A few rain drops and I walked up near face to face with a bear in the road about 1/4th mile from my house. Clapped my hands and it took off back into the woods. Dogs gave a brief chase but lost interest quickly. Wild Raspberries are getting ripe in the area. Guess it's been into them.

    Several rounds of excessive rainfall today. 2.74 inches so far. Had a persistent 45 minute heavy thunderstorm around 3 that really upped totals.
  21. John1122
    3 pm and 66 degrees. I don't remember when we've had a stretch of days like this in mid-June before.
  22. John1122
    Another afternoon and early summer evening with temps falling from the 70s into the 60s. We keep getting summer in fall, it's nice to get fall in summer.
  23. John1122
    Went walking this evening, felt like early October. Temp was 63 at 8pm, plus the humidity was down from yesterday.
  24. John1122
    Another crazy early summer late afternoon.
  25. John1122
    Hard to beat today, currently sitting at 72 degrees with low humidity. Evening walk is going to feel much better than yesterday when it was 86 with a 75 dp.
