  1. Georgia loses. Tennessee wins. Rare day in CFB.
  2. 46 degrees and heavy mist. 30 degrees cooler then yesterday evening.
  3. Another day in the low 60s, actually can see the leaves changing it seems like.
  4. How fun would it be to see this in winter? We haven't had a -NAO average in October since 2014. Memorable winters don't match up in any particular fashion with a -NAO in Oct. 2013-14 both had -NAO Octobers with cold/snowy winters for parts of the forum area. As did 2009 and 2010, both 09-10 and 10-11 were cold and snowy winters. But the frigid snowy winters from 1959-1966, as well as 1995 leading into 1996 and the late 70s winters were all +NAO Octobers.
  5. Non stop drizzle/mist here and 55 degrees. Didn't add to the total really but has kept things wet into this evening.
  6. Maybe some patchy showers down stream. Between the storm Saturday night and the rain today have added .45 to the bucket for October. Around 1/3rd what was modelled just a couple of days ago. At least it's been cloudy and cool so the rain didn't burn off. Currently 63 and maybe falling into the 50s late this afternoon into early evening.
  7. Rain just fell apart for East Tennessee as compared to its trek through West and Middle. Rather than the .5-.75 forecast I'd say .1-.25 unless it redevlops.
  8. Had a thunderstorm and some steady rain earlier. Hope to get the leaves nice and wet over the next few days to slow or prevent flash fires this month.
  9. Up to 87 here today. Probably the hottest October day here ever.
  10. The hottest one I can find before the 100 yesterday at Chattanooga was 97 in Savannah in 1954.
  11. I'm getting pretty fortunate regarding the heat. Sitting at 85 right now. It's even 90 in Crossville. I believe that may be their only 90 degree temp ever there. At least on record. They didn't have a station for some of the prior heatwaves.
  12. It also is pretty wet for early next week. Need a good soaker before fire season truly hits. Had a decent one yesterday but over a very small area, probably a 4 mile circle around my house.
  13. Had another bout of moderate rain today. Enough that the roads were still wet in shady areas hours later. Kept the temperature down in the 80s here again today.
  14. More rain showers moving through this afternoon, one was heavy but brief. There may be a few more in the pipeline but probably not much more than the kind that soaks into the ground within 10 minutes.
  15. Managed 48 yesterday morning. No luck this morning though. Hopefully the rain comes to pass for the area this evening.
  16. Currently low 50s here, might make a run at upper 40s by morning. Will hope so at least.
  17. Actually pulling off some rain this afternoon. Not heavy but enough to use the windshield wipers.
  18. No, it was the winter where the last two weeks of February and the first week of March was pretty wintry for the entire forum for the most part. It was capped off by the blizzard in West Tennessee in early March. It was brutally cold every where once that February arctic express got rolling. I had 15 inches of snow, 4 inches of sleet and and two ice storms in a 20 day stretch. It snowed on top of snow 5 times. Which isn't common for the area most years.
  19. 14-15 was a weak El Nino but is noted for not having the precip patterns of a typical El Nino.
  20. Don't have to go back very far to find the record dry September in the area. In 2014 Knox had .19 inches of rain, BNA had .21 inches. Memphis had 4.75 inches for the month but 4.45 of that fell in one day, .27 another and the other 28 days of the month were mostly rain free. Temps were around 3 degrees AN for the month. So not as hot as this month has been but still warm. October was much wetter at about 2x the average rainfall, with temps near or below normal across the area. November was cold and dry that year with about 50 percent of normal precip.
  21. 18z GFS was much wetter valley wide that run. 2-4 inches over the next 16 days.
  22. I don't understand how Hurricanes keep recurving but temps stay sky high and the weather stays dry. It's odd that the troughs that turn them are hot/dry weather producers. We did have some rain and storms a few days ago. But it has been fairly dry and Sept may actually be our first month of the year without AN precip. Shouldn't be significant fire danger here though, no brown grass or anything like that here.
  23. It was too rainy here to be hot this summer, but plenty of heat this month so far. We did avoid the worst of it yesterday with a thunderstorm that fired up in the early afternoon.
  24. Rained just about all day long with a high temp of 67, felt sort of fallish out there. Picked up .57 today with the rain mostly moving out of the area.
