Scottie16 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Storms moving weird again today. Generally E-W in the Central Valley whilst storms along the southern valley are moving S-N. Very cool to watch on radar.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Picked up .4 from a small but heavy shower moving east to west. Lots of loud thunder and cloud to ground lightning in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Another very heavy shower with lots of lightning and thunder is moving across from East to West. It doesn't seem common to get meandering upper level lows in summer but it's definitely a drought killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 That one put down another half an inch here. It was even heavier south of me as it moved through LaFollette and Jacksboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted Friday at 03:40 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 03:40 PM The "worst" of summer was partially in April! We had all of those highs in the mid and upper 80s. Since then, we have returned to VERY HIGH humidities to accompany relatively normal summer temps. When I go running in the mornings, it is like someone dumped a bucket of water over me by the time I am done. Still working on my winter ideas. This winter is a lean warm, but truly a crap shoot. I tend to think we start slow w/ kind of a meh December with gradually increasing chances. Late Jan to mid Feb seems like the sweet spot regardless of ENSO. I see no real change to that this winter. Somebody from the Plateau eastward could get hammered by an Apps runner or coastal this winter. As for fall, that season just seems hot lately. I do think Nino should temper the excessive heat and maybe bring normal fall temps by late September. Sometimes Nino winters kind of have a false start during October. The heat out West seems to suggest the Nino pattern has begun. Might be a good year for NE ski resorts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted Friday at 04:41 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:41 PM A true frog strangler is growing over me currently. No real movement. Just expanding in size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted Friday at 08:09 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:09 PM Just can't seem to get the storms around my area for some reason. There have been storms around daily for a couple of weeks now, but I've really had very little rain. And WAY less thunder than a normal July. This should be the wettest month of the year here. Even today we are stuck under the anvil of the large storm cluster over northern Atlanta. It's stabilizing us without giving us any rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie16 Posted Friday at 08:51 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:51 PM A true frog strangler is growing over me currently. No real movement. Just expanding in size. Same for sweetwater. Keeps expanding. Radar shows 1.7 in the past hour and I expect that to go up tremendously.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie16 Posted Friday at 08:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:53 PM Seems like once these storms roll over the mountains it really amplifies them at least for Monroe county.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted Saturday at 02:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 02:38 PM Another moderate to heavy rainer rolling over. No thunder in this one so far. Just big tropical sized drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Round two of rain moving over. Not heavy but steady. No thunder in either batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted Saturday at 08:19 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:19 PM I'm getting really sick of watching it rain in a circle all around me. I actually just lost power for a while due to lightning, but the rain dome is intact. Not a single drop of rain. Looking at my records, it hasn't rained an inch in a single event here since 5/24. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed the radar today that it was raining both east and west of most of Chattanooga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted yesterday at 06:28 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:28 AM Woke up to a thunderstorm rolling over right now. Had 3 rounds of rain yesterday that put down half an inch or so. This one is small but it's pouring down. Looks like another, bigger one lined up behind this one if it doesn't die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest drought monitor finally removed most of my area from the drought and I suspect Thursday will remove the rest of the area. It's thundering again now and a storm is about to move over from the N/NW. I hate that you guys can't catch a break, it was actually doing that here a little over a month ago. It would rain in a circle around my area into SW Va where Daniel Boone lives. This is the 30 day rainfall with the legend below. It's been a stark contrast from the Northern Plateau to Knox down to the Chattanooga area. Todays rain and storm are moving almost on that same path as the observed rainfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago It's rained .75 here today and some areas near me got 1 to 1.5 inches. Looks like upstream is loaded for another round in a few hours. If they don't die out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the rain upcoming seems like a boundary slipping down,who know who gets the rain but even so the MJO into the WH/EP isnt a rather dry solution,more unsettled in days ahead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I did everything I could to summon the rain yesterday. I washed my car, put the sprinklers out on the lawn, even sprayed some herbicides. Got missed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
