    Very heavy rain/storms moving through once again. Looks like the week will start cooler than last week but not quite as cool as it was advertised earlier. Highs had been forecast to be in the mid-70s next week but now it's lower 80s.

    Had some very heavy rain today. Still raining now. Hopefully the mid-state gets in on the act tomorrow. Sometimes we can get a drought killing tropical system but with the rare Atlantic La Nina that's developed, tropical activity from Cape Verde may be less than normal this year.

    Got some rain again today. Looks like more of us will get in on it tomorrow and Sunday.

    The thunder is starting up again. Looks like a heavy storm north of me. Hopefully they keep growing.

    It's was my hottest day of the year. But it's storming now.

    December was -5 but would be heavy rain, then snow showers to follow with several trace to 1/2 inch events. January was a torch at +7.5 and February was -4 to -6 but the cold lined up better than December and we had several snow events. There was a 1-3 inch event the first week of Feb, a big one just before Valentines day for a lot of us, but Knoxville to Chattanooga didn't do so well and for some reason SWVa and NE areas along the Va border didn't do as well. Pennington Gap says 2 inches, Abington 3, Tri only recorded around 2 inches at the airport, with Greenville getting similar amounts. However Erwin and Elizabethton got 4-5 inches. Above 2500 feet in the far east were using a yard stick, Mountain City got around 14-16 inches, LeConte got 34 inches, 9 in Gatlinburg at the ski area. The Plateau areas got 6-9 inches from here to Jamestown and down to Crossville. Morgan County around Lancing got 4.5 inches, Norris around 4 inches, Morristown around 2 inches, less than two around Knox and Oak Ridge, a trace around Nooga. It warmed dramatically a few days later and rained, then around a week later another 1-3 inches fell across most of the East.

    Winter 2004-2005 wasn't great here. December had a very cold shot with a couple inches of snow and lows near 0. Jan and Feb alternated between mild and wet then dry and cold. Jan had a couple of dry cold shots that had trace to 1/2 inch snow shower type days. There were a couple of snow events in February but they weren't huge, around 2 inches each. It actually turned cold in March and the month was frigid vs normal, with a couple of snow events. Overall Dec and March were BN, Jan and Feb AN with BN snow. Nov 2004 was very mild. Around +5.5.

    50 here this morning. Looks like at least one more heatwave to close out August.
  9. John1122
    Dropped to 48 degrees this morning after a high of 72 yesterday. That's pretty hard to beat for August.

    After Daniel Boone mentioned August 1976, I went back and looked over the whole month. We had 11 mornings in the 40s that month, including several days in the mid-40s in early August. That is insanely cold for August.

    It's poured the last few days here. Just had a big storm roll through, the second in the last hour or two.
  12. John1122
    Just looked. We had 47, 47, 45, and 46 August 18th-21st. Another cold front hit to close the month and we were 42 on the 31st.
  13. John1122
    Some forecasts have me at 51 degrees on Wednesday morning. That would have to be close to a record.

    Just had an unexpected heavy soaker roll across. I've noticed since last winter, radars are a few miles off here and the placement seems to vary by source. The rain I just got was displayed on three different radars as passing east of me.
  15. John1122
    It's been so wet here that even after bright sun all day today, my grass is still sopping wet.
  16. John1122
    The daily downpours have started here. Not huge showers but heavy rain while it's falling. Looks like they are going to pivot around the upper low for a few more hours. Next week we will be in the sinking air area of the tropical system if the gfs is to be believed and should probably stay dry.

    Rained several more times again this evening it appears. Went to Turkey Creek to a movie and it was mostly dry south of Clinton, there and back. Soaked and storming up here going down and standing water still on the road when I got back, as rain looks to have departed a few minutes before I got back in town.

    Another round of heavy rain and storms rolling through now. We may have some more hot flare ups but at least they won't be able to build off drought conditions imby. I'm surprised this much drought still exists. Especially down towards Chattanooga, that's been drenched the last 10 days. Looking, the airport must have gotten dodged. Dwagner reports around 10 inches of rain in his back yard. The airport barely got over 3 inches down there and I assume that's what the drought monitor is based on.

    I feel like Forrest Gump in Vietnam with these storms. Very very heavy rain and windy right now. I'm not sure how many days in a row this is now. Seems like it's stormed like 13 of the last 15 days.
  20. John1122
    Morning rain again today. Even in the afternoon sunshine water puddles are standing. It's steamy but only 84 degrees.
  21. John1122
    From the storm this evening that was warned over Eastern Campbell County. I assume it's a scud cloud.
  22. John1122
    Just had my second set of storms today. There's definitely no more drought here.
  23. John1122
    My power just came back on. Trees down everywhere with that complex that hit around 4:30 to 5:30. Roads were blocked all over the county and powerlines were down with them. There were 14,000 meters out at one point. With the population here, 14,000 is almost every meter that LaFollette utilities serves here.
  24. John1122
    The size of the rain drops in these storms is incredible. They are just huge and it just floods down as they roll across. Another complex looks to arrive here around 5pm.
  25. John1122
    It's been pouring here for the last hour and a half. It's rare to see 70+ percent rain chances for 10 days in a row. But we're close to it.
