Awesome satellite imagery early this AM that shows some of the local microclimates. What especially stands out to me are the WAA areas in the eastern Valley and the areas up against that N. plateau that normally get a little CADing in in Miller B type systems:

probably a lot more to learn from a satellite image like this.

Plateau sunset:

You can hear the wind aloft. Something fun must be going on higher up. I took a short time lapse of the clouds rolling. giphy.gif

 

You can actually see this cloud formation on the local GOES 16 imagery, at the bottom of the Frozen Head mts.

Really, just a vividly blue sky, after the drear of late.

anybody else see the Bethlehem star tonight?  It was a sight to see.  It’s amazing how close it and mars were

 

edit:  meant to put this in banter 

My son mentioned this earlier tonight.  I would have loved to see it.  I have an acquaintance that has a super-duper amateur telescope and I wish we could have have finagled our way over there to view it.

I believe it's supposed to be visible for several nights, so there should be other chances.

If what stovepipe said is correct, look Into the Southwest sky just after sunset tonight.  I believe between 6 and 6:30 is the best time to view it

Took a drive to Sparta TN yesterday. Beautiful views of the western edge of the plateau looking towards Cookeville:

Also, cool sunrise this AM up here, some cirrus, before dawn, were catching the sun:

I had to tweak the above mage a bit to capture the almost eerie look, due to low light.

My inlaw are remodeling the the house right there. It has a pool in the back yard.

I know which house you are talking about. I grew up a few houses away, lived there from 1983 - 2007. One of my best friends lived in that house for a while. Good times on that road and the mountain for me!

It's a beautiful area for sure!!! I love looking out on the river watching the eagles fly around. It's been a family project now for almost a year. Alot of time spent this past summer updating everything! It's our family getaway home!

Looks like we have been at or below freezing since about 4:30 Thursday afternoon. Today should warm up into the 40’s, so it will end the streak of freezing or below freezing temps. I’ll have to look back, but I’m thinking it’s been since 2018-2019 since we had a stretch below freezing of that length or greater.
