nrgjeff Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 It's still got a snow tag. Might as well add winter, lol! Perhaps that's just to make us feel less hot right now. After the severe today they have flash flood risk for Wednesday. Can't argue with a front stalling. What else do they do in July? Got a tropical system far enough away to be no threat, but it still helps pump in moisture. Ambient moisture is enough anyway. These dewpoints are ludicrous even for July! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or winter is just gonna be that warm! LOL. But yeah, i need some seriously lower humidity, Jeff. I am soaked every morning after my run. Just looks like someone took a 5 gallon bucket, and poured over my head. Same deal after mowing. Tags are now spring and summer - you all have high standards for thread tags! If it was Montana, I might leave snow. They started the month out w/ winter storm warnings in SW Montana! Fortunately, the west is getting some much needed monsoonal rains in a few areas. I saw that Mammoth had rain this past week. Not unheard of, but it was plentiful. Portions of MT had flood warnings last week which is kind of nuts out there during the summer. Storms kind of fizzled out in NE TN this evening - so far. I don't mind that. Storms IMBY seem to find a way to get pretty bad on NW flow t-storms during July.....just not NW flow snow during January. But yo....send me some crisp air masses. Central Florida can keep this humidity. It's theirs, and they can have it back! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Very heavy rain training over my location this morning, although I am kind of on the southern end of it. Currently at about 1.10in for the day and still pouring. It comes and goes in very heavy bands but just keeps training over me. Looks like the band may be lifting north ever so slightly for the moment, so it may come to an end soon for now. Looks like as the front pushes south later, it may push the whole thing back south later on. Hopefully the areas that have been the driest can get in the band at some time today or tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Jeff noted, that stalled frontal boundary has reared its ugly head this AM. Bean Station is seeing a lot of heavy rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 One thing which is nice about this in NE TN(not relief for everyone as has been shared), the drought is getting busted up here. We aren’t there yet, but much better off than during spring and winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Finally the firehouse is off at the house for the moment. Ended up with around 2.73in of rain for the moment. Kinda glad I was on the southern end of it, as like Carver said, just 4mi to my W/NW, Radarscope is estimating Bean Station has had close to 6in of rain!!!

John1122 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The band of rain set up south of my area. Looks like 3-5 inches around that area and less than .5 here. Not too upset by that, too much rain here already lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Well the break didn’t last long. Looks like it just wants to pour all day long! Radarscope estimates over 4in for mby now, but I’m not at home, so can’t check it now. Crazy how stationary this band is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I just got home and checked the station. Looks like I recorded 3.77in today. I’m reminded why it’s hard to use Radarscope to perfection, but it generally will give you an idea. If I were to literally go down the hill in my neighborhood to the lake though, they have definitely received over 4in and then just across on the other side of the lake is Bean Station and Mooresburg. There, over 5-6in of rain fell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I only got about .4 yesterday. 15 miles away it was 10x that. After 15 inches in 30 days, I'm kind of glad to have missed it. My yard is out of control and it hasn't been dry a single 24 hour period in seemingly over a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 This week's drought monitor didn't really change for my area despite around 3.5 inches of rainfall since it last came out. Surprised by that. Remained abnormally dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I take that back, it moved from drought 1 to abnormally dry and it didn't count the 1.3 inches of combined rain I got Monday and yesterday, since it was actual measured rain through 8am Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowing is a pain in the ass of late. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 It finally rained IMBY today. 1.25" is the most I've recorded in a day since 5/6. Monthly total for July is still only about 40% of normal. I think I might be the only person in the state with worsening drought conditions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Wow you've been hosed @dwagner88 we have done pretty well since June IMBY. I remember you moved though. Post frontal in Chattanooga feels so wonderful! Still dew 70+ but it's cloudy with a north breeze. Staying cloudy post frontal feels great in summer. Could be a preview of El Nino though. For now, focus on the good today. And think of football season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted Monday at 09:09 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:09 PM This is about the time of year that I start looking for the first fall air mass on ext LR modeling. Nothing is clear right now. All eyes are on Alaska. If we can stick a ridge in Alaska during late August, that will be something we haven't done in long time, especially at that time of year for any length at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is better than the "cloud of dust" La Nina pattern that my yard has experienced for what seems like the last decade. It is crazy how green everything is in NE TN. It is almost like Mother Nature forgot spring, and were are going back and making up the course work right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted Tuesday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:46 PM August could be a good night sky month is the clouds cooperate. Jax got the Perseids above. Fond memories of summer come to mind. Too bad the kids are in school by then now days. Peak is spread out a few days per the video, so maybe catch a dark rural sky on a weekend. Next we have a near total lunar eclipse the night of Aug. 27-28. The 96% lunar is gorgeous with an extended diamond ring phase where one side is lighter. Of course it's not as spectacular as a solar diamond ring, but at the same time I believe lunar eclipses are severely underrated. In contrast to solar, where I'm a Total or Nothing mentality, deep lunar eclipses are arguably as gorgeous as full lunar. Hopefully by then we've also had a couple early season fronts. Might not cool down much, but take the edge off the humidity. Occasionally NW flow on weekly progs would help the cloud issue for astronomy too. Afternoon t-storm cloud debris tends to clear sooner. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago Incredible rainfall rates over the last hour or so. It was coming down so hard a few minutes ago that it looked almost like snow in the street lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago It was above 55dbz for a while. 55 is 4 inches per hour and 60 is 8.5 or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago Ended up with 2.5 inches of rain from that storm in just about an hour. That 55+dbz was about 10 minutes of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted 50 minutes ago Share Posted 50 minutes ago MJO moving into the Maritime.GFS and Euro is trying to light the torch for our parts but we seem to be in a -NAO right now into the next several days Typically the MJO moving into P5 mean this time of year heat stroke moves into the plains not us,ensembles seem to look good ATM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
