Carvers Gap Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Temperature is 60 degrees in Kingsport w on/off drizzle. Surreal day for early fall. Winds are 5-10 which makes it cooler. Following a slightly BN August...sure makes fall seem further along than it truly is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastKnox Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Made it up to 63.7 degrees at my home in East Knoxville at 1:45 p.m. Since then, the temp has been dropping slightly. I think we may struggle to see the upper 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Georgia has 500,000+ customers without power. Hopefully that does not get up in here. Atlanta power outages are increasing; however, it is above 1,000 FT. I am hoping being at 500 FT helps Chatty duck the peak winds. Regardless, looks like an interesting night.

John1122 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The rains of Irma have finally started falling here in the last hour. Temps are in the 50s, once again another late summer day that feels like mid to late fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 With the fire damage to the Chimneys, wind damage(trees falling) has been an issue along the roadside areas during the past year - much better this go around. Looks like GSMNP faired very well. Fortunately Irma appears (eyeball test...nothing exact) to have jogged well south of its inland forecast. I have not looked at pressure centers, just radar. Georgia has a ton of folks without power. Thankfully we did not get worse. The Florida Keys...man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Getting what I think are some upslope rains today from the opposite from normal directions, SE to the NW. They've basically been redeveloping over Campbell Co for several hours as the flow comes across the valley and then begins to rise in elevation as it gets into this area.

DaculaWeather Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Good morning guys and gals! It's been a LONG time since I've been here! :-) I guess everyone survived Irma, my parents live right on Sarasota Bay and were only about 75 miles or so from the center when it passed, and they never lost power. Me on the other hand, lost power for 45 hours in my neck of the woods just outside Atlanta. Luckily I have a generator and was able to run the things I needed. The worst part? Half of my neighborhood had power and we have all underground utilities. Just my luck... :-) Looking forward to winter once again and it would be fine with me if it started right now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I drove 441 from Gattlinburg to Cherokee yesterday evening. This was my first time through since the fires last year. All I can say is wow! You could very clearly burn marks are the bottom of the trees in many spots. You could even tell the direction the fires were moving. A lot of the trees only had damage on one side of them. It’s was pretty cool to see and sad to know the damage it caused. The temp also dropped on my “reliable” truck thermometer from 91 in pigeon forge to 64 at newfound gap. Pretty amazing to go from summer to fall in 30 minutes in close to 4000 feet of elevation rise. There was some very pretty leaf change color around 3500 feet plus. Lots and lots of yellows with some reds here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The cloudiness/stratocumulus off this shortwave is such a tease. I want rain but there's nothing getting squeezed out of this environment. On the positive side, we should get a little taste of Autumn over night the next three/four days before it goes back to Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 .75-1.0" of rain so far in Kingsport. The TS is moving out fast. Thankful for the rain but not nearly enough. It should reduce the fire risk though for some time and bring out better fall colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankful for the rain but not nearly enough. It should reduce the fire risk though for some time and bring out better fall colors. 1-1.2" here in Bristol. Not enough but certainly thankful for it. We still have a nice low-level moisture stream into the eastern Valley which should bring us another inch through the morning. Can't complain about that. I'm noticing areas ENE of here in SW Va./New River Valley may get hit harder. Training SSE feeder off the Piedmont with good orographic lift may produce 3-5" short order tonight.

Windspeed Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Finished with 1.3 inches. Didn't receive as much as I thought we would over night but still not complaining. Nate was good for us. Additonally the airmass is still moist for the next few days. The low pressure out of the upper Mississippi Valley may squeeze out some more showers.

John1122 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Picked up 2.4 inches here. Long, steady soaking rain too. Not a ton of run off. We had some downed trees and power outages due to wind as well. My power was off for several hours last night. It was much needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windspeed Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Got maybe .2 inches this evening. Pretty light stuff and may seem hardly worth posting, but any precip helps right now. The ground is moist and the atmopshere is still juicy. HRRR and 3km NAM try to move some decent cells through KTRI around mid day tomorrow. Hopefully that can squeeze out another half inch, possibly more. Combined with Nate's totals, hoping this will be enough to prevent any fire bans and also get the trees happy for Fall colors.
