    Looks like frost on the rooftops this morning, even in parts of Kingsport. We only missed the all-time record low by two degrees at the airport.

    TRI's records/normals' listed date for May 3rd reads 9999 for the record low. But it should also be a record low. That makes two record lows for the month. 90s on tap for Sunday! Whiplash weather! IMHO this is just a continuation of the winter pattern which had HUGE swings. I think we head into a more stable, warm pattern from this point forward. I think.
  3. Carvers Gap
    That should break the record low at TRI by three degrees. The old record was 35. That is the fourth latest freeze in TRI history.

    It looks like the airport has dipped to 32F. That is a big time bust from my point and click which was 40-41! I went out and covered my stuff last night thankfully. The GFS and NAM have been kicking butt and taking names w/ low temps. That should be the last time we hit freezing until next fall - famous last words though!

    The NBM has lows over TRI at 41 tonight. The 6z GFS and 6z 3k NAM both have lows in the mid to upper 30s. I probably won't cover my stuff tonight, but am waiting until tomorrow to plant the rest of my warm weather plants. This is the latest I have planted those in a long time. That is ironic given how warm it is has already been this spring. This last series of cold shots were a doozy. Spring is surely full of wild swings and April/May sure have lived up to that!!!!

    Looks like the final risk for frost is Friday morning with lows in the upper 30s in NE TN and SW VA. Point and click forecasts are a little warmer than current modeling. Beware. After that, temps warm rapidly and temporarily back to late summer levels this weekend.
  8. Carvers Gap
    Special weather statements have been posted for NE TN and SW VA regarding patch frost. No wind and clear skies.

    More patchy frost tonight over the northern valley into SW VA. This is getting old fast(covering up stuff)! These temps have been steadily going in reverse since those mid-80s summertime, bluebird days a few weeks ago! 57F at TRI right now. Feels like February.

    My partly cloudy has turned into unexpected rainfall. Not a lot but will take it. @Met1985, definitely looks like another strong front. This will delay my garden by about a week. I sure didn't see that coming after weeks of temps in the low to upper 80s. What a flip!

    Made it to 37 this morning so far which is again below guidance. I suspect patchy frost is in the area, but cannot confirm that yet. The GFS and RGEM are the only models which are getting close to projected night time lows. The GFS has Friday morning as 34-35 for temps. No other model has it. Good test coming up again.

    32 was a record low at TRI this AM.
  13. Carvers Gap
    TRI slipped to 32F right before the sun came up. We went five degrees below the point and click forecast. The GFS and RGEM were right. Thankfully, we were there only a short time. That could have caused widespread damage to crops. Let’s hope the shorter duration helped.
  14. Carvers Gap
    Yes. Even more rare than a WSW...frost and freeze warnings have been issued have been issued by the NWS. Good call. I normally plant my warm plants on Derby weekend. Not so today. The temp is 57F with the real feel at a toasty 49F. I honestly thought about building a fire in the fireplace. I ordered some affordable season extending gear. We will see how that garden, cold weather gear holds up tonight. The 18z RGEM gets down to 33 over TRI and the 18z GFS gets down to 32. Yikes.

    After all of those days in the mid 80s…spring has returned. LR ext models nailed this pattern change. On AppleWx, temps are forecast to only get above 70 during 3/10 days. 4/10 days don’t get over 64. I am back to having to wear a jacket when I run in the mornings. It was so hot last weekend that I couldn’t sit on the clay ground for more than a minute or two without feeling like being on a hot stove. Ground temps have cooled off big time since then. This temp swing has been pretty massive.
