Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 FWIW 6z NAM pretty crappy this AM: Forecast: Reality: Obviously this doesn't mean it will be right or wrong about the next system, but like the training over Knoxville, models still really struggling even as an event is happening. WV GOES 16 does seem to hint that there could be some additional development NW of current precip, but not much as of now. Thankfully as of this AM the trend over the past 3 runs on NAM is for a system with a more southerly axis of heavier precip. As the above comparison shows though, who knows what will actually verify. Euro still south too with the heaviest rain: It also seems to be overdoing the northern extent of precip this AM, unless there is something radar is missing, always a possibility with the plateau. 0z Euro also tries to give our eastern areas a dusting next Friday with a clipper type system. Any guesses on how long it teases us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windspeed Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yeah today hurt. I am thankful we got a 72-96 hour break this week, but I thought today's rain would remain light and rather insignificant. Nope, a rather large area will finish around .8 to 1.25 for the upper TVA watershed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 IMBY I ended the last 2 days at .96" of rain and pretty amazed to see the impact today in the creeks. Creeks between my house and Athens have risen and turned red with such small totals. It's really strange to see, hope Sunday isn't too bad.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 So how about that Euro overnight? Looks like it may be drier for this system in East TN than even yesterday's, if the Euro is right. A general 0.2 - 0.7 across both watersheds. 6z 12k NAM further north, but 3k develops the convection parallel to the Gulf and keeps higher totals further south like the Euro. The key seems to be just where that convective precip. develops. If it is further south and parallel to the Gulf it might cut off some of the precip in our area. Will it be right? Will heavier precip. seemingly magically appear on radar as the system moves in? I guess we'll know tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxjagman Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Models are showing the Atmospheric River cranking back up into the 2nd week of March.WPC has already highlighted parts of the East into the Valley with heavy rain.Even though we see weak systems until then the FFG should still be rather low. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to me like it is already worse than pretty much every model predicted for today, even 6z suite this AM: 0z ARW2 wasn't too bad with it's progression. I understand the yellows/ oranges on NEXRAD aren't exact equivalencies to a models 6/3 hr precip. or projected radar depiction, but still, those look like pretty high rates moving in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the bright returns over west TN is brightbanding. 3k was a little to slow and Euro a little too far south, but so far amounts in west TN are close to what GFS had. Big question is does the convection develop over central/southern AL robbing the moisture transport north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetjanet998 Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share Posted March 3, 2019 Lake Cumberland at this time is back down to the old record high it fell 1.38 ft 24 hours ending at 5am..or .058/hr assuming a 1.5 foot drop per day the lake will be at 744.37 at 11z friday ..near the start of the wet period..the also seem to be SLOWLY backing down the outflow in baby steps..now 57,100 down from 59,800 looks like a general 1/2 to inch over most of TN today heavier south of the TVA watershed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Think I am going to bust high on Precip for the day. Already at .75" and precip rates are running pretty high at times, looking at radar and current rates I anticipate around 2" minimum today, way above forecast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
