PowellVolz Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 28 at my house with a heavy frost. Heat island saved Knoxville. It was 37 when I got to town 20 min after I left my house. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 25 this morning. It was subfreezing from 10pm til after 9am. It's why I never start gardening until May here. I wish I could talk my fruit trees into not blooming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed33 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 26 at my house this AM. I hit freezing last night about 10 PM as well and it was 29 at midnight. I saw MRX reported 27 at the 7 AM observation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I’m not sure where to put this but this is a nice write up or overview of April 27 2011. Someone may want to start a thread so we can have separate conversations about that event so we don’t clutter this thread. Here’s MRX’s presentation.... https://noaa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html?appid=61e843c3094e4b00bf8b5568034dde63 . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Love the MRX write-up. Includes interviews with both MRX and SPC Mets about what was going through their minds forecasting it. Wow! Alabama has a good page too, a joint effort from HSV and BMX. https://04272011-noaa.hub.arcgis.com/ includes video Memoriam for those lost. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I'm going to assume it didn't quite cross over into Campbell, but that's as close as it could get without doing so. The debris ball stayed in the air well into Campbell. Looks like we still stand at 1 tornado in the last 70 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyhound Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Definitely not the heavy rains / storms that I thought would come through tonight. Hopefully it’s just enough to knock the pollen levels down a bit.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Pretty good straight line winds this evening. Knocked down quite a few trees and limbs. Still some power outages. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 It feels like late March or Early April today rather than May 10th. Didn't get out of the 50s today and it's down to 47 right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mt Leconte will be down around freezing the next two mornings. Saw were Beach Mt had snow showers over the weekend. It was actually coming down pretty hard. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Still not been terrible temp wise. Nights are in the low to mid 50s because the air is so dry and we have just been a touch over 80 today with around 79 the prior two days. Looks to get hotter over the next 3-4 days then maybe some rain. I've been watering my tomatoes at night but nothing else so far. The creeks are still running above normal for this time of year, so there's pretty good soil moisture still available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Actually had some rain a few minutes ago. Not a lot but enough to wet the ground. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Had some nice rains already today and the main event is still on the way. Forecast for tomorrow is amazing for nearly June. Mid 60s and mid 40s. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 60s and mid 40s. We had a very strong storm roll through about 4:45. 40-50mph winds and a lot of lightning. Velocity was showing 60-70mph over the top of me but that hardly makes it to the ground. Not much rain but I ain’t complaining. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Some much needed rain this evening. Still need more, but a good start. Probably won't have to water the garden for a couple of days. You all can thank me for the pattern change. Stepped up and bought some irrigation stuff for my garden this week. Works like a champ. This guaranteed rain. I will be setting up a GoFundMe which will help fund this sacrifice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted May 30, 2021 Author Share Posted May 30, 2021 Trying to avoid running my heat, it is 56 again this afternoon and down to 66 in the house. Will likely ring in Memorial day with it on with mid 40s or low 40s possible tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 2.36 inches of rain since Sunday after a very heavy overnight shower. Looks like quite a bit more to go this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 We have received about 1" of rainfall here in Kingsport for the month of June. Not terrible, but we have struck-out quite a bit on days where rain seemed a given. Had a lot of wind yesterday that seemed to come out of the blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 I ended up with around 5 and a half inches of rain over the course of the week. Rainy, but nothing like last year or the year before when I was having a 3-4+ inch rain event every few days. Still we have had historic floods 4 times in the past 30 months. That's due to having the rainiest years in the last 100 years or so back to back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Sunday night I saw lightning and heard thunder locally for the first time since maybe April. Could be March. It was a great night time light show. Storm missed by a couple miles, which actually improved line of sight with the lightning. A week prior we had thunderstorms in Florida, but that's not news in June down there, ha. Night lightning is not a Florida specialty though. Twas so nice to see frequent lightning back home on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
