It looks like the ring of fire pattern could return. I was looking to see if any MCS possibilities were on tap.

I take that back, it moved from drought 1 to abnormally dry and it didn't count the 1.3 inches of combined rain I got Monday and yesterday, since it was actual measured rain through 8am Monday.

This week's drought monitor didn't really change for my area despite around 3.5 inches of rainfall since it last came out. Surprised by that. Remained abnormally dry.

I only got about .4 yesterday. 15 miles away it was 10x that. After 15 inches in 30 days, I'm kind of glad to have missed it. My yard is out of control and it hasn't been dry a single 24 hour period in seemingly over a week.

The band of rain set up south of my area. Looks like 3-5 inches around that area and less than .5 here. Not too upset by that, too much rain here already lately.

Looks like all the severe storms just died for the east side. Middle Tennessee looks to be getting the brunt of it.

It's been thunderstorming here for an hour but it's just now actually raining. That may have been the longest, loudest, closest thunder I've seen that wasn't producing rain. There's a gap to my NW in the storms and I'm completely fine if the line break passed my area. I hate straight line wind events. I usually lose power for 12+ hours in them.

They look pretty far away on radar but I'm getting thunder and lightning already.

I've had 5 power outages last month, including one this evening. I truly hope there's not another one tomorrow.

That small rain storm put down .95 in less than 20 minutes. It was some if the hardest rain I've seen in a while.

The daily downpour is underway here. Hopefully this doesn't continue, as I have some outdoor stuff planned for 6 I'd rather not have to change. I thought I was good when the chance was only 30 percent today.

You're in a wild mini-drought apparently. It's crazy how rain can be close and still miss you basically every day.

It's rained .75 here today and some areas near me got 1 to 1.5 inches. Looks like upstream is loaded for another round in a few hours. If they don't die out.

The latest drought monitor finally removed most of my area from the drought and I suspect Thursday will remove the rest of the area. It's thundering again now and a storm is about to move over from the N/NW. I hate that you guys can't catch a break, it was actually doing that here a little over a month ago. It would rain in a circle around my area into SW Va where Daniel Boone lives. This is the 30 day rainfall with the legend below. It's been a stark contrast from the Northern Plateau to Knox down to the Chattanooga area. Todays rain and storm are moving almost on that same path as the observed rainfall.

Woke up to a thunderstorm rolling over right now. Had 3 rounds of rain yesterday that put down half an inch or so. This one is small but it's pouring down. Looks like another, bigger one lined up behind this one if it doesn't die out.

I noticed the radar today that it was raining both east and west of most of Chattanooga.

Round two of rain moving over. Not heavy but steady. No thunder in either batch.

Another moderate to heavy rainer rolling over. No thunder in this one so far. Just big tropical sized drops.

A true frog strangler is growing over me currently. No real movement. Just expanding in size.

That's a shame. I thought you were getting hit much more than you did on Friday and Saturday.

That one put down another half an inch here. It was even heavier south of me as it moved through LaFollette and Jacksboro.

Another very heavy shower with lots of lightning and thunder is moving across from East to West. It doesn't seem common to get meandering upper level lows in summer but it's definitely a drought killer.

Picked up .4 from a small but heavy shower moving east to west. Lots of loud thunder and cloud to ground lightning in it.

I'm not sure how he knows, maybe just speculation, but Glenn Burns (Atlanta area Met) is predicting an unstable PV this winter. So he compared it to a likely colder El Nino pattern vs some of the stinkers with strong PV set ups.

Had another round of very heavy rain early this morning that put down .95 inches. The Friday and Saturday portion of the flood watch didn't see much action imby with only around .8 inches of rain over both days, but the last 24 hours have delivered almost 4 inches.
