Jed33 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Bottomed out at 26 this AM. Looks like my cilantro took a huge hit. Thankfully I staked and covered up my small blueberry bushes. Several of them were blooming well, and already had leaves on them. I ran out of blankets for one though on the end, and just used a 5 gallon bucket. Big mistake. When I removed it awhile ago, there was ice inside on the blooms and leaves. I will likely loose that one. Lesson learned on using buckets.

Carvers Gap Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Looks like TRI made it to 24. Went below freezing at midnight and remained until around 8:00 AM. Will take a few days to assess damage. Last time it froze this late...took a few days to really see damage as things began to show signs of the freeze. First glance, it appears we may have faired OK.

JayCee Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Freeze well under way here. currently at 28 degrees, figure I'll bottom around 22-23 since my dp is 19. Looks like mid to upper 30s across the central and southern valley so far. You guys may not get the blistering our trees will get. It didn't seem to get as cold here in the central valley as the forecast was stating. My lowest temp was 32 through the whole weekend, surprisingly. I see very little damage to most of the deciduous trees that were already leafing out. Very thankful at this point. No repeat of April 2007 here. Hope areas to my north don't see a lot of damage, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Only thing that I have that had any damage was cilantro. It didn't phase it much though. That stuff is so hardy it never fully dies all winter. It beats it back, but it recovers very quickly. I was worried about one blueberry, it had ice on the blooms and leaves, but it really doesn't appear to have phased it.

Stovepipe Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Yesterday (Memorial Day) had an interesting storm that formed and stayed pretty much in the same spot for, dang near, two hours. NWS issued a flood advisory for this specific area in central and southern Knox county and northern Blount. They said it dropped 2 inches of rain! It was funny to see RadarScope try to draw directional lines because the storm just wobbled around. It spread out a little bit before dissipating and I finally finagled a few heavy drops of rain, not even enough to completely wet the porch. We got the cool wind off of it and heard some decent cracks of thunder. It sure would have been nice to be a mile or two east and gotten a months worth of rain in two hours! Meanwhile, I'm running sprinklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Spoke w a neighbor who had 1.5" of rain in his gauge last night. Was an absolute frog strangler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 4.2 inches so far for the month of june in Louisvile tn. We were also directly under that cell that parked itself from stoves post two posts above, lots of flooding around out house which sits on 2:1 slopes (steep shale topography where i live). 1.7 in under an hour.

Jed33 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Wow, according to MRX, Chattanooga hit 99 degrees today! That looks to be the highest in the state-Memphis hit 98. It was around 91 here, still hot, but not that hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Wow, according to MRX, Chattanooga hit 99 degrees today! That looks to be the highest in the state-Memphis hit 98. It was around 91 here, still hot, but not that hot! The humidity was awful through mid morning, but the DP really mixed out in the afternoon. More of a dry heat. Heat index was only 100 when the air temp hit 99. WIth essentially no soil moisture left, there isn't anything to hold the temps down in the afternoon. I expect the upper 90's to continue. I'm skeptical of the predicted cool down this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm skeptical of the predicted cool down this week. There still seems to be a front the first week of July followed by the heights rising around the 4th,should be another system followed this around the 8th.If the euro is anywhere right we might see some of the best bulk shear we've seen in a while the first of the month,though nothing is mentioned by the SPC,the GFS 12Z does look somewhat better today.

John1122 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Powerful thunderstorms this evening, downed some trees. Was out in town this morning and at 9:50 the bank read 90f. Lots of energy was in the air. I've had 2+ inches of rain in the past 5 or so days. Pretty lucky in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 More very very heavy rain/wind currently moving overhead. This may get me over 3 inches of rain in the past 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnweathernut Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Still waiting for any meaningful rain in northeast TN while central TN and parts of east TN get doused. Sure is bone dry here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We just had an unbelievable storm dump some incredibly heavy rain here at the house. Picked up 2.75in of rain in less than an hour. Extremely intense lightning too. Not sure why a flash flood warning wasn't issued, as there is plenty of flooding around. The crazy thing about it is, less than 5 miles away in town, not a drop of rain. Unreal how isolated this was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Ended up getting 2.2 inches today. Over 4 inches in the last 6 days now. Not sure how everyone else is doing, but the rainfall totals the past week looks solid over the Plateau and points westward and much more spotty across the Eastern Valley areas.

Chattownsnow Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 here in Soddy Daisy north of Chattanooga, I have seen 1.09 in. for the entire month. I have gotten very unlucky with any pop up storms and missed out completely with the storms that came through last night. Last event was on 6/24 and got .42 in my weather station. Hoping I catch up soon as I have been having to water my garden none stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 .31" for this month so far. I've also been in the wrong spot at the wrong time for the pulse type storms. A storm rolling out of Anderson/Union Co yesterday was heading straight for me but laid down an outflow about 10+ miles north and it blew apart. Then storms refired on that outflow a couple of miles to my south, I was left with a few sprinkles. Been this way all summer.

jaxjagman Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Got the pic from NSW,We had a warned cell this afternoon.Most of the better convection was to the east of us.Might have had some gust around 30-40mph,so it wasn't a total loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 99 again at KCHA yesterday. The models have been running too cool with afternoon temps in the drought area consistently for about a week now. At least the heat index isn't too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Believe pre-frontal warming busted models on both Sunday and Monday with the slow moving system. Only 3 and a half months until prime leaf viewing season, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Powerful thunderstorm winds this evening, blew down some 80 foot tall oak trees and cut lots of power in the area. Steady rain falling now. What drought my area was in is pretty much gone now and it looks fairly rainy for the long term as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 This is a pic from the storm yesterday evening in NE Campbell. Not sure if it's a funnel or not. Person said their weather station clocked a 79mph wind gust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Don't really get this week's drought monitor, it remained unchanged over my area and actually expanded over other areas of the Plateau. This over areas that have picked up 4-6+ inches of rain over the last 8-10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Could have been a weak tornado. Was it left of the rain? That 79 mph gust indicates something going on, whether from an RFD or an actual tornado. Drought monitor may not include all the midweek rain. Though issued Thursday I think data cuts off Tuesday. I would think drought is easing north of I-24 and definitely along I-40. At any rate thank you for posting the picture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
