nrgjeff Posted Tuesday at 08:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:02 PM With 5 of the next 8 days in outlooks, I was hoping chaser drama on X would cease, and people would concentrate on the forecast. Silly me! What was I thinking? We shall refer to Monday as Monday or whatever day outlook it is (as time passes) and omit the date which shall not be named. Same for that year. Possible another day crops up next week too. That still doesn't make it that year. It makes it spring in the South! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be me, but it seems like almost all severe weather threats in East TN take place in the late evening/overnight hours. Afternoon severe weather events appear to be somewhat rare. Is there any truth to this, and what causes this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted yesterday at 04:32 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:32 PM Yeah @jaxjagman Tennessee overnight is one of the highest state proportions in the Union. @Runman292 I was gonna say that's just since I moved here, lol! But Jax is right. Living in East Tennessee reminds me of living in eastern Kansas. Things get rockin' in the western part of the state, sometimes middle. Then the leftovers roll through at night. Occasionally it does start east and we get tornadoes too. Otherwise just like I now drive southwest to North Alabama, I used to drive southwest toward Wichita. Which brings us to Monday. Still looks possible Mid-South. Euro has the ol' east crap-out. Fresh 12Z GFS keeps it going. A lower scenario option is always the classic midday MCS shut-down. We'll see. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted yesterday at 05:12 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:12 PM I will say this....in NE TN, many of the tornadoes have been daytime recently. The one that did $30k worth of hail damage to my house was during the day. Now, when I lived in Knoxville...it was almost all nighttime. NE TN has to almost have a sustained SW to NE track of whatever system is required to produce tornado activity here. Derecho stuff sometimes will do it from the NW. But it requires a huge SW fetch to get that type of severe into NE TN. IDK...maybe that is why daytime threats are worse here. Knoxville and points west...totally different animal. I don't even know if I can name a daytime threat in Knoxville, but remember having to go to the basement many times as a kid at night during crazy bad storms. The '93 outbreak(college at UT at the time) I am pretty sure was evening or night...maybe during a Friends season final episode. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted yesterday at 06:51 PM Share Posted yesterday at 06:51 PM I notice sometimes northeast TN (Tri cities especially east of MRX) can get going in the early afternoon on what's otherwise a Carolina day. That's mainly later in the season. Carvers may be talking about other examples. All I know is that it frustrates me to no end. I'm not going to chase east initiation, because it creates a long drive home. Euro came in a little hotter Monday. Nothing major but definitely supports a severe weather D6 outlook. Winds from 850 to 500 turn pretty well nearly 60 degrees vs say 45 deg. LLJ is still shown weakening / lifting north. That latter detail and/or any midday rain keeps Monday off the crazy train. Definitely watch it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakashiHatake2000 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Any updates for today spc has a 15 yellow high lighted risk for west and western portion of middle tn and along i65 with a 30 orange high lighted risk clipping far northwest tn and upper Mississippi River valley for Monday .

nrgjeff Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Yeah Monday is coming into focus in the Mississippi Valley. Worst severe may be just north of most of us up in Illinois. Then we'll see if STL can double down on Missouri as the Show Me State. For the storm anxious around here.. Exit ramp now looks more like warm mid-levels than MCS washout. Guess it doesn't matter either way if you don't like tornadoes. Either way if NWP holds, should be some wind west Monday night. Other hazards are TBD; much can change either direction until then. Fairly solid upper level winds remain over the Deep South the rest of next week. Could be another chance or two. However a dry dewpoint push after Monday could mitigate rapid moisture return. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hint of a possible secondary low on the GFS is something I never like to see. That backs the winds. Then we might have the leftover boundaries from storms, which is a bad thing by adding fuel to the fire. If anything, I see some strong winds and hail.
