Carvers Gap Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 How in the world did Knoxville have BN rainfall for May? Has to be the location at the airport being closer to the mountains. Any Knoxville folks think that is inaccurate for their backyards or have you all been getting less? That gauge is quite a bit different than Chattanooga or TRI.

nrgjeff Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Oak Ridge had AN rain in May. Seems TYS just got left out. Otherwise it has been quite wet in East Tenn. I think we are finally entering a more typical summer pattern. Next front looks like a stall rather than pass. Nice and humid by then too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 KCHA dewpoint is 75. Spaceballs scale is Humid, Gross, Ridiculous, and Ludicrous. Today is Ludicrous. How many days until Halloween? Takes that long to cool off these days. Weekend does look nice though! MORE: So thankful for the second Plains trough behind Cristobal; otherwise, we'd be stuck with these dewpoints a while. Instead it'll be pretty reasonable for about a week. I don't even care we missed out on severe with the front. Thankful the dews are coming down! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hard to beat today, currently sitting at 72 degrees with low humidity. Evening walk is going to feel much better than yesterday when it was 86 with a 75 dp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 Man, I could have worn a jacket this evening. I didn't, but I could have. I am digging this weather. Temps going into the mid50s tonight. I could almost pretend I was in the northern Rockies - almost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a low this weekend of 45 and we have been consistently in the low 50. Tonight we are already down to 49. This much cooler weather for this spring has been just what we need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Went walking this evening, felt like early October. Temp was 63 at 8pm, plus the humidity was down from yesterday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Another afternoon and early summer evening with temps falling from the 70s into the 60s. We keep getting summer in fall, it's nice to get fall in summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Several rounds of excessive rainfall today. 2.74 inches so far. Had a persistent 45 minute heavy thunderstorm around 3 that really upped totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 So often we see weeks of winter disappear with warm spells. We call that "losing a weeks of winter or torches." Well, I feel like the last few weeks have been stealing some great weather from the warmest time of the year. Of course that won't last anymore than winters rarely stay warm. The Euro Weeklies are all of the way into August now. The Seasonals go to December. Every weeks that we steal from summer gets us one week closer to tracking those first fall cold fronts. I suspect we will still have some hot weeks and maybe even extended summer due to La Nina. What would be nice is to see the El Nino pattern have just enough pattern memory to get us through fall, and then let Nov/Dec turn cold which is often typical during La Nina years. Anyway, another great morning with temps. With temps pushing into the low 60s during the next few mornings(50s at 2500'...and 40s way up), can't complain. This has been a great patterns. There are some hints that the ridge builds east and holds...I don't know. Seems like that ridge really wants to be out West. It can stay there as much as it wants in my book. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Hot and sticky for my walk this evening. A few rain drops and I walked up near face to face with a bear in the road about 1/4th mile from my house. Clapped my hands and it took off back into the woods. Dogs gave a brief chase but lost interest quickly. Wild Raspberries are getting ripe in the area. Guess it's been into them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the ones here are. They aren't the Gatlinburg city bears that people watch. Those are the ones to worry about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 The dust certainly lived up to its billing. There's just a bit of brown tinge to all the haze and it's way thicker than normal summer haze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 No doubt. Descended here this afternoon. Has really reduced visibility. Pretty awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Yes it’s really something else. I’m in Pigeon Forge with the family and you can just barely see any of the mountains. Also it rained here earlier this AM and everyone’s car has dried dust droplets all over it now that it has dried off. Pretty crazy to think that I can scrape dust from the Sahara off of my vehicle!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 .85 rain yesterday. Been having heavy rain and thunderstorms training here for several hours overnight. Not looked at the rain gauge yet but won't be surprised it it's 1 to 1.5 inches or more just based on how hard it's rain and how many rounds have rolled through.

John1122 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 1.1 inches overnight. Another 1.3 inches this evening with another round moving in, more flooding in the area. That's over 3 inches in the past 36 hours. June is going to be another month with well AN rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
