Sadly the rains were meager if even that for the midstate. The winds were some of the most intense I’ve experienced. I was driving home from seeing my daughter at college. My wife was scared at how bad it got. It does appear the drought is taking hold & usually dominates the wx when they do take hold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Well pretty much all the rain what little there is went south of middle TN. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Ended up with .75 rain, about 20 miles south of me in Southern Campbell, N Anderson there was a jackpot zone that had almost 2 inches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted Monday at 06:04 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 06:04 PM We have managed a couple of decent rain showers. It won't dent the drought, but it will provide some temporary relief. As for relief, there might be some on the way as we begin May. Temps look to fall BN right as we end April and begin May. It won't be anything overly shocking I don't think - some frost likely I think. It will feel sharper than it really is due to the much AN temps we have seen(summer like) during the past couple of weeks. Hopefully, that heat has abated until its proper time. I don't see mid 80s on my phone any longer, and that is a relief. We don't want summer heat building during April. Even with La Nina fading, any residual effects from that dying Enso phase could still produce very hot and dry weather. Hopefully, Enso neutral and Nino conditions take hold sooner than later. That should bring more precip and moderation of temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted Monday at 06:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:28 PM Yeah we got rain last two fronts, which is some encouragement. QPF came in under, not a surprise in drought - but at least it's raining. See if we can accomplish more this weekend into next week. Even poorly timed waves (see my severe rant) can bring rain. Seems like a decent bet. Then we'll see how long we can milk the southern jet stream next week. Could it be a drought breaker? Could it just add humidity before the SER gets on steroids? I don't believe the CFS or Euro weeklies. Check back in June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted Monday at 08:49 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:49 PM 34 degrees this morning on a forecast of 41. I covered my tomatoes and will again tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted Thursday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Thursday at 03:14 PM Found this on FB from a local news station in Orlando showing 365 day rainfall deficits. I found it very interesting that the location of the August 2025 flash floods over eastern Hamilton county is very apparent. That was the only significant rainfall in this corner of the state for months. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted Thursday at 11:54 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 11:54 PM Dwagner....that is crazy insane. Well, you all can thank me for the copious amounts of cold weather incoming. My tomatoes and peppers arrived in the mail yesterday. They are about to be on the struggle bus in about 7 days. Thankfully, rain appears to be on tap. Now, let's go watch some NFL Draft.

John1122 Posted Friday at 12:03 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:03 AM Mammoth got 16 inches of snow earlier this week. Probably another month of winter to go for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:57 AM The big rains modeled for today into Sunday have collapsed imby. 1+ inches modeled, now down to less than a 10th. It's brutal trying to break out of a drought. A few years ago it seemed it wouldn't stop raining. Now it won't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Do I dare even say it? Haha. The GFS has snow in higher elevations to begin May. 6z was nuts. 12z has it as well in SW VA. BIG changes coming to our weather. Kudos to the Euro Weeklies for absolutely nailing this potential pattern change coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
