Spring/Summer 2020 Observation Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
Took a drive to Calf Killer Brewery today over the plateau. Plateau microclimates in full swing. 40 at my place and down to 35 near Crossville. Some graupnel/ flurries early on, but that was about it. Temp shot up to 45 by the time I was off the plateau just east of Sparta. Obviously there are other ways to support tornado relief, but Calf Killer is currently donating $1 from every pint they sell to it and they make good beer, so if you're into that sort of thing (like me) and you are nearby, give em a try. Beautiful view on 70E just above Calf Killer (looking towards Cookeville) The western plateau reminded me a little of Mesa Verde today. Near the Obed on Genesis road, I was able to see where the EF0 hit. Pretty much a straight line through and across the Obed gorge as far as I could tell.- 186 replies

Morgan county sheriff is reporting that the NWS has confirmed an EF0 in western parts of the county. I'm guessing it was what was left of the same cell when it got here.

Yeah I woke up about 2 to some critter scratching in my attic and decided that maybe I should check out the radar. I saw what was going on just east of Nashville and then logged on here and saw what y'all were saying and tried to stay awake until it got closer, but fell asleep until 5 AM. By then the main storm had moved just north of me and the smaller ones were rolling through. Freaked my dogs out pretty good (and me until I saw that the worst on was east of me), but thankfully no major problems in my neighborhood this AM.

Def. looks like a healthy cell right now in S. Illinois

It's back now, lol... sort of: GEFS is mildly interested too: and hey the EPS has a signal for a cut off over Cuba at day 10. Right where we want it at that range ? -

I like how the third comment on that is "But what about Crossville?" -

Did ok here too overnight. Looks like about 1/4", enough to coat everything for a pretty sunrise. -

If the elevations that saw snow earlier today were any clue, if I was about 400 feet higher I’d be getting slammed right now -

Got some monstrous wet flakes mixing in now, but as John said, it is off and on. -

well maybe for those unlucky at lower elevation, I suspect for whoever it hits on the plateau and especially Western NC, it won't be Wet snow falling here now -

Yeah, looking at the big picture the heaviest returns look like they are trying to reorient in W TN, at least to me. Somebody is going to have fun with that one near Clarksville: -

I feel like I have to get at least some of it in a bit, with this angle: No more moon and stars out now. -

Man I think the Crab Orchard mts just kill me with SW - NE moving precip. They don't look like much on a map (for those not on the plateau, I'm sure you are familiar Shcoker,) but I am in their shadow (sorry weird symbol is my area): Here's how they look from I-40 -

Must be a pretty sharp line of clouds. Radar looks like (arrow points at my house): But this is what I saw outside, hardly a cloud: -

For my part, I'm pretty happy with it. 0 accumulation even up here, but it seems like forever since I've even seen a clipper that produced anything. Pretty morning with snow falling. -

Big factors here are temps and flake size. Drove out to do a run at Frozen head. Snow was making it down to about 1800' around 830 AM: Hit pixie dust about 1600' Finally hit some better snow, as I drove back home, but flake size makes the difference bewteen this: Or this: -

Absolutely pouring here now -
This was such a wild look, I thought it was worth being the beginning of a new banter thread for spring GFS really out did itself at 6z: Before we've had storms cut from New Orleans to Chicago, it decided to do the opposite this time.

Kinda looks like it is picking up in a band south of Nashville and just around the radar site:
