    Dwagner....that is crazy insane. Well, you all can thank me for the copious amounts of cold weather incoming. My tomatoes and peppers arrived in the mail yesterday. They are about to be on the struggle bus in about 7 days. Thankfully, rain appears to be on tap. Now, let's go watch some NFL Draft.

    I will say this....in NE TN, many of the tornadoes have been daytime recently. The one that did $30k worth of hail damage to my house was during the day. Now, when I lived in Knoxville...it was almost all nighttime. NE TN has to almost have a sustained SW to NE track of whatever system is required to produce tornado activity here. Derecho stuff sometimes will do it from the NW. But it requires a huge SW fetch to get that type of severe into NE TN. IDK...maybe that is why daytime threats are worse here. Knoxville and points west...totally different animal. I don't even know if I can name a daytime threat in Knoxville, but remember having to go to the basement many times as a kid at night during crazy bad storms. The '93 outbreak(college at UT at the time) I am pretty sure was evening or night...maybe during a Friends season final episode.

    We have managed a couple of decent rain showers. It won't dent the drought, but it will provide some temporary relief. As for relief, there might be some on the way as we begin May. Temps look to fall BN right as we end April and begin May. It won't be anything overly shocking I don't think - some frost likely I think. It will feel sharper than it really is due to the much AN temps we have seen(summer like) during the past couple of weeks. Hopefully, that heat has abated until its proper time. I don't see mid 80s on my phone any longer, and that is a relief. We don't want summer heat building during April. Even with La Nina fading, any residual effects from that dying Enso phase could still produce very hot and dry weather. Hopefully, Enso neutral and Nino conditions take hold sooner than later. That should bring more precip and moderation of temps.

    It is freaking hot!!! 83F in the middle of April is the worst. Looks like both the GEFS ext and Euro Weeklies are showing a cold down during the first couple of weeks of May. No, I don't mean snow. But maybe it means we aren't going to see mid summer heat show up two months earl any longer!

    Ditto. My garden has been doing decently well so far, but I too have fought the urge to plant the warm wx stuff. I may risk planting 1-2 in a cold frame next week. This pattern seems pretty stable, but we have both seen warm, spring patterns flips to one frost after another. The drought monitor has drought expanding across much of Tennessee.

    We badly need some rain here. Mammoth may get absolutely hammered from Saturday to Saturday. That seems to signal better things(precip wise) when they get it going. Looks like we might need a snow cam watch posted for Mammoth.

    Both the 12z and 18z GFS have another system in the d8-9 range. This is the time of year(shoulder season) when that model can score a coup just like it did a couple of days ago. Not saying it is the gospel, but I think the end of the month is a time frame to be watched. That was a pretty stout run. The 12z Euro has the amplification w/out the storm.

    If that had arrived at any other time of the day than peak sun angles….4-5” would have accumulated here. MBY prob picked up 0.5” of snow at two different times.

    More snow showers this AM around TRI.
  10. Carvers Gap
    Thunder this morning around 7:45AM. Even by Thunder in the Mountain standards(7-10 days)…this has been a fast turn around to snow!!! Severe weather last night and snow tonight. What a cold front.

    I think it is is a glitch. I can see it right now on RadarScope. It really doesn't originate from MRX. But there radar looks pretty jacked up right now - lots of bands and stuff. Someone who knows more about radar could give it a name.
  12. Carvers Gap
    That is a busy map. Hope the folks under the tornado warning are good. Whew.
  13. Carvers Gap
    West Tennessee is under enhanced storm risk and also has a freeze warning posted. That is pretty wild!!!
  14. Carvers Gap
    Oh man - I just saw this. I hate to hear that. We will be praying for you and your family.

    82 and strong winds right now. 40% chance of rain and snow tomorrow. "Thunder in the Mountains" Rule looks like it is in effect. Buckle up!
