PowellVolz Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 My rain streak ends at 13 days. Looks like it’s going to be a few days to a week without organized rain. You might get some terrain driven pulse storms. Knoxville has to rely on storms firing over the mountains with winds out of the SE to push them in the valley. .

I have some pretty high chances of rain Sunday and Monday. After that we may heat up quite a lot it looks like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Yards are beginning to fry up here. Mine is toast. With the heat forecast mid-week and a lack of consistent precip, potentially could get much worse. We have only had three days at TRI which have seen 0.1 or more of rainfall. Two of those days were way back on July 1-2. If we don't score tomorrow, we are looking at a developing drought here. The US drought monitor from last week is picking-up on those conditions in this area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Normally, when it rains(during a summer with normal rainfall), I don't have to water my garden for about three days. Right now, soil moisture is almost non-existent IMBY. We received about 1.25-1.5" last week during that rain event(got lollipopped here)...had to water within 36 hours as the rainfall was soaked up or evaporated that quickly. With La Nina set to return, very possible this drought could intensify - though that is no guarantee as some La Nina's have produced plentiful rainfall during recent years. That said, drought/heat IMBY is almost always correlated with LaNina conditions. As I noted during spring, when NE TN has BN precip during spring...that is usually a really good indicator that summer is going to be a problem in this area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Looks like we managed ~0.25 of rain this evening. Very thankful for the rain. Some area to our east, as has been the case for several months, did very well. Right now IMBY, we are getting rain so infrequently that it reminds me of tracking snow during the winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 26, 2021 Author Share Posted July 26, 2021 Ended up with some very vivid cloud to ground lightning and just drenching rain. Not checked yet but probably 1.5 to 2 inches of rain just judging by the amount of water out there standing and running down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stinks. Areas that didn't get soaked today better hope they get something tomorrow. Its gonna be even hotter in areas where the ground is dry going into mid and late week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holston_River_Rambler Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Fortunately I've been with the "haves", in terms of rains this month. Until yesterday, lol. Been out on the rivers a lot, trying to enjoy the summer and catch smalljaws and trout. Here are some river/ weather pics: Emory river, N. of Oakdale, looking SSE: Clear Creek, just north of Jett Bridge: Clinch river, below Norris dam, in a heavy shower: Emory river, just SE of Nemo Access as a storm drops in from the N: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I loved small mouth fishing in Clear Creek. I always found it best going from Jett towards Barnett. I'd just get a fishing vest/life jacket combo and swim the deepest holes. It was common to catch 50+ fish a day there in summer when I was going. Jett to Lily was good too, Barnett end wasn't as productive and Lily to the river didn't work out that well for me either. Always had to monitor the weather closely when wading/swimming in the canyon. Thunderstorms would cause the creek to become an out of control whitewater beast in a short period of time. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 28, 2021 Author Share Posted July 28, 2021 The best thing about living where I do in summer. It's really really tough to crack 90 here. It's actually 5:09 when I took that. I forgot to spring it forward. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No mention of that cluster the last few days from the NWS. At 5am this morning I could see the lightning from my house in Halls as the storms crossed into Tennessee. Got a little rain out of it but most of the action went west of Knox Co. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a loud and rowdy storm here. Probably the most thunder and lightning I've had in 2021. One strike nearby caused the power to go out briefly. Lots of window rattlers and some pretty heavy rain from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowellVolz Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Hot off the presses this morning. A nice read about the March 2012 tornado outbreak. I give MRX crap sometimes but they do a good job on these mini reviews. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/574eef4ae2b54a14ac08a561271b0730. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 Had a huge amount of thunder and cloud to ground lighting today but barely any rain to show for it.

fountainguy97 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Unicoi County has been better off in the rain department than areas just to my west but it's catching us now. We are starting to get crispy here. My yard is a very dull green with that crispy look. If we don't get rain soon I am sure we will be in official drought criteria in the next couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
