Spring 2026 Pattern Discussion Thread

Seems to be a wall at the Appalachian Mountains. Some SC peeps on X are gnashing their teeth. They'll get some storms and wind but it literally blows over. Slower moving rain and systems are here on our side.
Thursday looks like more of the same. Big ol' slug of moisture will come up from the Gulf. Some hints of even a LLJ into the Tennessee Valley. After some good rain around here the system speeds up and fills over the Carolinas with lower QPF that way. 
We still have a long way to go on our own drought. I suppose we'll make more progress later this week. My lawn seems perfectly fine now.

Yup, Southeast ETN has been getting a few soakers the past few days. Finally had a good sunset today after a weeks worth of dreary clouds. This is facing your neck of the woods.

Hello everyone. Half the year is over. Here's hoping we can get one decent winter storm this winter. Its always fun to track them but its always about timing 

[John1122]

Already looking like tomorrow's rain will bust again here. Brutal. This fall will be rough if things don't change.

Yeah it'll split around us. Front should get into northwest Tenn. Risk farther east and south is that subsidence northwest of the decaying TC squashes things. Then the said TC remnants are sliding deep south. That'd be nice in winter. 

Somebody has to say it, lol!

Looks rough Daniel Boone's way, flash flood warning and a tornado warning both.

[John1122]

I've gotten a few light showers, but just barely north of me .75 to 2 inches have fallen. I thought the storms in Kentucky were going to move south but they appear to be moving NE now.

[Daniel Boone]

Over 3 inches has fallen here since 3 PM. 

[GregLCweather]

Received about 1.5" of rain from yesterday here at my location.

[John1122]

I managed .65 as things were mostly south or north of me.

Only 0.25" here. Way more in every direction all around me. Oh well. Still doing ok on a monthly basis and more is coming Monday.

[Daniel Boone]

Wound up with 3.93" here. North Jonesville officially 4.06" . Pennington gap, 4.57". Radar estimates of 5-7 inches northern Lee into Western Wise County. Powell River flooded Big Stone on down to Jonesville. Creeks and Streams flooded.

Norris can use that water.

Even though it caused some issues, it was a godsend overall.

It's like Cross Mountain is a wall these days where all rain goes to die. Heavy radar returns just fall apart and the rain just splits. I had about 10 minutes of a shower. I don't recall in my lifetime ever seeing rain dry out specifically over this small area so often. I've seen droughts before but this one seems like almost a micro drought.
