Vol Man Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 3 hours ago, Carvers Gap said: I think Kingsport might be one of the hottest place in E TN today. We have to be catching some downslope somewhere. Temps in town are ranging from 90-95F on wxunderground. Real feel right now at my place is 97F. Easily the hottest day of the summer here w/ worse to come later this week. On a positive note, we got a popcorn storm that parked right over western Sullivan/eastern Hawkins yesterday. Amounts ranged from 0.75-1.30" of much needed rainfall. We prob got about an inch of rain IMBY. Two blocks away - zip. That kind of rain storm. I was no fan of the marble size hail. Holston will know this....not sure it even rained at the bridge into our hood. I agree Carver...hottest day so far in Kingsport I believe. Been sitting on 96 here for the last hour or two. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Cloudy with a few sprinkles today already. Crossing 2pm and it's only 80 degrees. We still might see 90 tomorrow, but so far, imby, all these hot forecasts are coming up 5 to 10 degrees short of the mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I am gonna start heading to the Plateau for the summer! LOL. Looks like the earlier (cooler) wx pattern from earlier this summer is about to return after a scorching hot week in NE TN. I am just glad that we are counting these hot days in terms of days and not weeks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurbus Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I hit 93 today. Hottest day of the year so far here in Knoxville. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 Topped out at 84.7 today. A little cooler than the last two days. My electric and water bill for the last week of June and the first 3 weeks of July came today, it's about 25 percent lower than average. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 89.8° high here, moved up here and setup my weather station a little over a year ago and still haven't broke 90°... yet haha There was a stalled/stationary line of light rain between Murfreesboro and the plateau today, but we never got in on it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 The last couple of days in Knoxville have been brutal. Only thing that’s saving us is there’s a 5-10mph breeze and it feels good in the shade while soak and wet from sweat. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Some hints at an early start to winter in the Mountain West...or at least a very cold fall. Lots of variability on September modeling. The great thing about September is that average highs begin to drop quickly. I still think we see a sharp switch to fall by mid-late September. I could easily be wrong. I like looking at the MW region as it can sometimes give a hint to that first truly chill fall air mass. When the cold builds in MT, it will often slide this way(modified of course). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 97 here now.Should see some cool down next week.Short range a strong phoon is being shown headed towards East Asia the next couple days.GFS want to take the storm into the Yellow Sea while the Euro goes into East China.Think parts of the Valley could see a big warm back up as we head towards next weekendStill seems this pattern right now we are in is fixing to get broke as we go into August,hopefully the upper 90's are done but its still summer,this stretch has most definite been the hottest we've seen this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 The wonderful summer continues in my opinion. Had some good rains yesterday. Today the lower humidity has been wonderful. Got a lot of my shrubs trimmed. I will take summers like this every year. It’s nice to have everything green. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes,i agree.Our lawn looks rather nice compared to summers past,some brown patches here and there but over all,not bad for summer.Rain chances will be on the rise as we get further into the week.Euro shows some unseasonable high PWATS as we get into the week,se we'll see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The new CANSIPS shows(unfortunately) endless summer through September at least with summer backing off by October. DJF, just eyeballing, looks below normal for temps. Typical Nino progression on the CANSIPs re: winter. The August to early Sept heatwave is typical for Nino years. Let’s hope the model is missing the sharp switch to fall which should occur mid-late Sept....and smoothing likely may not allow for that type of specificity.

1234snow Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Looks like a few dry days because the northwest flow kicks back in at the end of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 Temp/Precip wise, this summer is similar to 2013 imby. We only had 3 days at 90 all summer long, all in July. It was fairly wet. All fall and winter months were normal to below 2013 into 2014. January was -9 here. February was -2.5, and March -3. 2013-14 was La Nada though.

fountainguy97 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Man going to be an unusual day tomorrow for the middle of summer. Won't feel like it tomorrow. PWATs approaching 2". Probably going to be some flooding in the mountains of TN and NC if the 2-3+ inches materialize. The firehouse is already lined up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Over 2" already today. Easily heading to the largest single day total I've had here in the last 4 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 The incredible summer of wet & not hot continues. My monthly HVAC usage report for June was 98 hours less cooling than last June. I’m thinking July will be less cooling days than last July. Said average high temp. for June was 86. Last year it was 88. Now hopefully winter does the opposite of predicted & gives us SNOW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 The rain event looks less impactful for tomorrow than originally forecast. Went from 70 percent chance down to 20 for my area. Still been a nice soaker since this morning and my tomatoes are huge with some 1lb fruits on the vine. Still not ripe but turning that corner. I should have a lot of them through August and September. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math/Met Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 My rain gauge has 4.60 inches so far today in Greeneville. Still pouring. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Opposite story here. 2-4" forecast. Only 0.10" recorded. My grass is still crispy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 3.47in here so far and still raining. This is the most single day rainfall in my backyard in years. I’d say probably 5 yrs at least! Today we’ve actually had more rain than we had in the entire month of June! Let that sink in for a min. I’m glad to get it though, we’ve been nickeled and dimed all summer long. Before today I think I had only 1 event with over 1in total this entire summer, so definitely needed it here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say probably 5 yrs at least! I was thinking about that earlier today, in terms of where this rainfall total ranks for me. I ended up with just over 6.00 inches today. It caused several flooding issues across Greene County today. Schools are closed tomorrow...it would have been their first full day. It's definitely one of the largest one-day totals that I can remember. My largest total by far occurred at the same time of year in 2001 (August 3&4). I had over 14.00 inches of rain with that event, but it was actually worse in other areas. I really wish there was a reliable rainfall total from the max area in that 2001 flood. The NWS wrote this a few weeks after the event "An unofficial gauge at Viking Mountain, located approximated 7 miles southwest of the radar-indicated maximum, measured 15.35 inches from Friday evening until Saturday morning". That was probably one of the top 5 most memorable weather events that I've experienced. It was unbelievable how hard it rained for about 4 hours that morning. Today's flooding doesn't compare to that, but it is still a notable event. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 4.52" here on the day. Easily the highest 24hr total here going back to July 2019 on my records. 5 hrs after rain we still have creeks flooding. I've never really seen the ditch along my property carry much water but it sounds like a river tonight. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 4, 2023 Author Share Posted August 4, 2023 Only about an inch here. But another day with the high in the low 70s. Summer's worst, on average, is behind us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 LR forecast in the 3-5 week range have backed-off the warm-up some. Dare I say they look like fall? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Even under sunny skies I only made it to 79 degrees yesterday. Warmer today, peaked at 83.1. Looks like some more storms possible tonight and tomorrow. I truly hope this pattern can repeat in winter at some point with BN temps and precip events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 KHAHUN,is a pretty amazing storm,just basically stuck in no mans land with no steering current to kick it.Today the Euro shows it going into South Korea around Mid week finally,tho this could change.This pattern if this storm gets into Korea/Sea of Japan should set up a +PNA.Think we could see once again the potential for a MId Level Ridge build back up to our SW,this would give us a decent shot at MCS action as we head towards next weekend and into it.Unless the models change,we are fixing to get possibly into a real wet pattern in several days ' 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
