dwagner88 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Finally got a real frog strangler last night. Over 2" of rain between 9-11 PM. Getting hit again this afternoon also. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Lightning was impressive both times here in Chattanooga. Today it was vivid enough to be noticeable during daylight along with crashing thunder. Wednesday night was the more traditional summer evening light show and (mostly) rolling thunder. We had one crash boom last night too that made the normally oblivious cat jump! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Very rowdy storm going currently. Tons of cloud to ground lightning hitting close and extremely heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 The August CANSIPS is out. Normal to BN temps through December. AN temps Dec/Jan w/ a gradient type of cold centered over the Great Lakes. Feb is BN. There is definitely room for cold intrusions w/ most of the intense warmth centered out West through Feb. The ridge will slide eastward at times, but the key feature is a trough over the EC. I still have my doubts as endless summer seems to be a recent and nasty weather trend during fall. The CANSIPS seems to imply that the worst of summer is behind us with the exception of a 2-3 weeks of near certain return of summer temps. Is it right, IDK but the CFSv2 seems in agreement about normal to BN temps over the forum area for Fall. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Man, it feels freaking awesome outside. After weeks and weeks of serious humidity, it feels like fall out there. Winds are out of the north and it feels glorious. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 A steady light rain is falling. Temps are cool. It is so surreal. It is like someone flipped a switch. Very thankful for the blessing of cooler weather. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 Yesterday we picked up 4 rounds of heavy rain. Almost tropical like. Everytime it looked like it was going to let up, it would come right back again in buckets! We ended up with 2.48in for the day along with the cooler weather as well. So thankful for that! I did see where the rain ultimately won out last night in Bristol at the Braves v Reds game. Hopefully they get it in today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Moved daughter into Bryan College Friday. Perfect timing for the fall temps. It looked like fall most of day with the clouds & fog. Yesterday was perfect with mostly cloudy most of the day. Finally got some good rains which helped settle the dust. Unfortunately I have come down with a bug & have slept most of day. Hopefully this fall wx continues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 4 Author Share Posted August 4 71 for the high today with around .39 inches of rain. The rest of the week looks pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Record high min at TRI yesterday. One thing I have noticed is that the point-and-click forecasts have been way too high all summer(at range) for MBY. I had mid-upper 90s forecast for much of last week(early and middle). If I remember correctly, 93 was as high as it got. The Apple wx app has been more accurate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just to the tune of a couple degrees but, 5-7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Got an inch in 30 minutes earlier today with a storm. Lots of thunder now but it's to my SW so that one is likely going to miss me. There's a bit more convection in Ky north of me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted Monday at 04:42 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:42 PM Eastern Valley has more chances to get rain especially Tuesday. Not everyone got it the past 7 days but more chances are coming. I'm happy the Eastern Valley heat got pushed back a few more days. With any amount of luck the heat this weekend, book-ended by similar weekdays, could be the last of the worst of summer. Depending on how any tropical cyclone behaves the heat ridge could either be augmented or chipped at. Either way prolly a few hot days here. Toward the end of August we might be able to trim dewpoints even temps creep back up. Late August fronts don't help temps much past 1-2 days* but they and chip away at dews. Either way the sun angle gets noticaby lower which takes the edge off midday too. Late August sun angle is the same as mid-April. LOL the temps part! *Apparently early August fronts set record low maxes though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Fortunately we all got home before all the flash flooding in Hamilton County. Usual trouble spots got bad, and few new problem areas showed up. So far it's the second highest daily rainfall at KCHA. First was around Labor Day 2011 but that was over a longer period all day. Today was pretty much all in a few hours. Others in the Chattanooga area and also Bradley County, please check in when you have a chance. Today was intense. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I posted in the severe weather thread but all good here. 5.64” in my gauge in Apison. Looks like more to come tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago My brother said he was good in Hixson, because he lives on a hill top. But he said there was pretty deep water in the area around Middle Valley and 153, which are basically the two ways in and out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
