September looks to come in and remain chilly if the models are to be believed. It would be nice to have an actual cool down in fall rather than the burners we've had lately. Makes for tough Friday evening football. Comfortable weather would be a refreshing change.

Weird pattern today. 1 to 3 mile wide bands of extremely heavy rain, with dry and sunny weather in between. Been driving through them across Campbell, Anderson and now Knox as I'm heading to the K.O.C Jamboree at Central.

Not surprisingly, a lot of flooding reported here after that monster rainer. 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain fell in the county in about an hour. Saw some photos from down in LaFollette of nearly knee deep water in the Food City parking lot.

The rainfall rate is off the charts with this one. It's colors are off the color chart on the accuweather radar and are pegged out on the weather channel radar.

The daily downpour is under way. Another big time lightning and thunder producer. Nothing severe as yet, can do without losing power again today.

I went to my mower a few minutes ago, and sure enough as soon as I started it, deafening thunder. Now raining, again. Grass is getting extreme.

Dec 1975 was -3 here but near normal in the Eastern areas, however that was a strong Nina which is really warm overall for everyone except the very far NW forum areas. December 2000 was exceptionally cold. -10 to -12 from the Plateau and West, -6 to -8 far eastern areas. It was a weak La Nina.

Right at 1.8 inches of rain from this and still coming down. Tons of thunder and lightning again. No hail but severe level winds knocked out power county wide.

I was going to finally mow tomorrow as the grass had mostly dried out. So of course with what was a less than 20 percent chance of rain it's coming another flood.

The wind was extremely strong in this severe storm. Pulled open and bent my storm door. That's another project incoming.

Yes, Whitley ended up with a lot of road and other flood damage. Especially around creek crossings. I'd love to avoid rain entirely today and honestly for the next week or more. That doesn't look likely. My yard is also out of control. It's crazy how many 500/1000 year floods we are seeing in the region over the last few years. Had two here in 2020, one in 2021, and west of Nashville had that monster event that may have been a 2000 year flood. Then Eastern Kentucky and SWVA getting slammed this past week.

I'd happily send some your way if I could. Meanwhile it's pouring here again.

After a day off yesterday, 1.55 inches has fallen today with some flooding in the area. Will see if any more falls today but am at 16.35 for July and 20+ for the last 36 days. There's so much ground water right now my septic system has a lot of rainwater in it and it's causing slow draining and flushing. I could use a dryish week or two or three.

Things you don't see often. Flash Flood warning for Furnace Creek/Death Valley. This is the hottest place on earth and driest area on the entire North American continent at nearly 200 feet below sea level in a massive rain shadow. They normally average 1.77 inches of rain per year.

The day is still young so to speak. I've had several showers during the day light hours with a small but heavy looking one just to my west. I feel like points south will be getting in on some rain over the next couple of hours.

Had several rounds of heavy rain yesterday, including one downpour overnight that the hi-res models kept trying to kill before it got here. It made it just about 20 miles east of here before it finally died out. It's raining now as well. After 1.28 since midnight, gonna finish up July with over 15 inches of rain easily, combined with the 4 inches from June 26th through the 30th, will probably cross 20 inches in the 35 day time frame. Looked like the exceptional rains were gonna be over this year, but there's basically no way we don't finish way above normal again. I'm already at nearly 50 inches for the year on an average in the mid to upper 50s. On average I'd get about 18-20 inches from August- December. So another 70+ inch year looks very possible.

Looks like SW VA is taking it pretty hard from flooding. That fire hose across SE Ky into there was persistent.

Had another thunder laden soaker around 3:30-4pm today. Not sure if things are over for tonight or not.

Getting rocked again by heavy rain and a lot of thunder. This July has been one of the most thundering months I can recall.

Picked up .88 so far today. Looks like something cooking out West that moves this way towards 11ish. 7 day forecasts from WPC/MRX say we could get 6-8 inches in spots with widespread 4+ amounts.

The big rainer yesterday put down 1-2 inches across the area here. Closing in on 15 inches for the last 30 days here with an area of 15-20 just west of me in Scott County. More big storms tomorrow would easily trigger flooding I'd think.

Extremely heavy rain and dime/nickel hail.

Corn will usually stand back up on it's own, or in extreme cases you can stand it back up and it will usually be fine and keep growing/stay alive.

Between yesterday morning through current I've now gotten over 4 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. Looks like parts of Anderson and Knox that got the 2-3 hour drencher are well over 7 inches in the last 24 hours. Heavy rain still rolling here and even heavier for those areas. It's hard to imagine louder thunder. It's rattling windows and shaking my insides.

Many reports of rock slides, mud slides and roads washed away this morning. Currently on hour 4 of heavy rain/storms. House shaking thunder.
