WW ISSUANCE IS LIKELY. DISCUSSION...SEVERAL BANDS OF CONVECTION ARE ONGOING AS OF 17Z ACROSS THE MCD AREA...MOST LIKELY IN ASSOCIATION WITH OUTFLOW FROM EARLIER CONVECTION TO THE W AND AHEAD OF A SFC COLD FRONT ADVANCING SEWD ACROSS THE MO/IND/IL. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER ACROSS KY/TN...WITH TEMPERATURES STARTING TO WARM INTO THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S. SLY TO SWLY WINDS HAVE BROUGHT A MOIST LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS OVER THE MCD AREA...WITH SFC DEWPOINTS GENERALLY IN THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S. LATEST RAP MESOANALYSIS SUGGESTS MLCAPE HAS INCREASED INTO THE 1000-2000 J/KG RANGE...EVEN THOUGH MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES SAMPLED BY THE 12Z SOUNDING FROM NASHVILLE TN ARE ONLY AROUND 6 DEG C/KM. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS DIURNAL HEATING CONTINUES...AND A SPEED MAXIMUM/SHORTWAVE TROUGH AT MID LEVELS OVERSPREADS THE AREA FROM THE W. WITH EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO AROUND 35-45 KT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...ORGANIZED STORM STRUCTURES... INCLUDING BOWING CLUSTERS AND SOME SUPERCELLS...WILL LIKELY BE THE PRIMARY STORM MODES INITIALLY. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BE THE MAIN THREATS WITH THIS ACTIVITY...ALTHOUGH AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO MAY BE POSSIBLE GIVEN EFFECTIVE SRH AROUND 100 M2/S2. HOWEVER...SFC WINDS VEERED TO SWLY MAY TEND TO LIMIT LOW-LEVEL SRH...AND THEREFORE THE TORNADO THREAT. REGARDLESS...WW ISSUANCE IS LIKELY IN THE NEXT HOUR.

DISCUSSION...1-MIN VISIBLE IMAGERY CONFIRMS DEEPENING CONVECTION OVER THE PAST HALF HOUR ALONG A REMNANT SW/NE-ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS FAR WRN WV INTO ERN KY. ALTHOUGH THE REGION SHOULD HAVE WEAKER SHEAR COMPARED TO STRONGER DEEP-LAYER FLOW TO THE N OVER THE NRN APPALACHIANS AND TO THE W OVER THE MID-SOUTH/TN VALLEY...EFFECTIVE VALUES AROUND 30 KT SHOULD SUPPORT MULTICELL CLUSTERS AND SHORT LINE SEGMENTS. DESPITE MARGINAL MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AROUND 6 DEG C/KM AT 700-500 MB IN REGIONAL 12Z RAOBS...CONTINUED DIABATIC HEATING YIELDING SURFACE TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE 80S TO LOWER 90S SHOULD AID IN A PREDOMINANT RISK OF ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS. ..GRAMS/HART.. 06/08/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Some very heavy rain has passed through the area but only mild thunder and some wind, the severe warning here didn't amount to much in the way of actual severe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It's really hot, and each day the heat looks to build slowly to highs in the mid 90s... Ouch summer is hitting us with a reality check the next several days and possibly more if the pattern wants to hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Knoxville is out of the gate quickly, up to 92 by noonish. Today has the lowest record high for all of June at 95. So it may be matched or beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 As of 2:50 Knoxville has indeed tied their record high at 95. The dewpoint is also 73 in Knoxville, giving a heat index of 105. Oak Ridge is at 94, 1 degree off their record, which is also 95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Knoxville has now eclipsed the record and is at 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Trifecta on June 15! Looks like Knoxvegas, Oak Ridge and TRI all broke records. Today June 16 records are a little tougher to meet, 98 at TYS and 94 at TRI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The string of mid 90 days is getting old really quickly. 95 ish right now have to see if dobbins afb recorded anything higher in between hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, getting old really fast. Can't seem to get a pop up storm to fire even in the elevated areas today. Even the mosquitos aren't motivated to bite here in this nasty heat. So I guess we have that going for us which is nice. Not looking forward to my water bill though lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last three days 94, 94, and today was 95..... I'm looking forward to Sunday when the days start getting shorter.. Long long days right... I'm also looking for some rain it's starting to get a little dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 95, 96, 94 over the last 3 days here. Looks like TYS actually hit 97 yesterday. My current jobsite is out in the Ocoee river gorge at the very neck of Ocoee #1 lake. The combination of the vast forest around the jobsite in every direction with the lake and the steep gorge produces utterly ludicrous humidity. I'm thinking about bringing a hygrometer out there to measure it. I was about as uncomfortable outside this afternoon as I've ever been in my life. And I've wandered Miami on a 97 degree day with a 79 degree DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Beautiful cloud over Gatlinburg. Nothing firing in the eastern valley yet. Would love a shower to end this nasty hot evening. Maybe we'll cash in this weekend before it all repeats next week. Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll cash in this weekend before it all repeats next week. Ugh... I got l lucky today. Around 2 it was horrendous. When I left the office at 5 it was comfortable. We had an outflow boundary come through and drop the temp way down. We had very little rain but the near miss created some wonderful weather. Hopefully you can cash in later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can't believe that cell wasn't warned. Lots of outages being reported in Sullivan Co., Tn. and Washington Co., Va. 50-60mph winds and hail. Insane lightning show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bob Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 They had a warning out for it around 9p...I was late getting home last night and there were some amazing anvil crawlers as well as frequent cloud to ground strikes that could be easily seen in Knoxville....

Insane lightning show. Are you able to get me a report or radar which showed the gusts at 60 mph. Just wanting to make sure I didn't miss on my gusts. But feel sure I am right. We are right against Bays Mtn, north side. Even news reports would be fine. I feel MRX missed on this, but maybe I am wrong. I know what 40 mph looks like. This was well above it.
