John1122 Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 One brief heavy shower passed by and the thunder is frequent to the south of me. It's so humid that elevation driven showers hit every day now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 What a storm! I was stuck in the dang thing from Knox all the way home. It's still pouring here with an incredible display of cloud to ground lightning. I was 40mph on the interstate and there was street flooding through LaFollette. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxjagman Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Nashville TN 106 PM CDT Sat Aug 21 2021 .UPDATE... FOR 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Incredibly active flash flood situation ongoing for western portions of Middle Tennessee this morning where 8 to 12 inches of rain has been reported so far in locations in and around Houston, Humphreys, Dickson, and Hickman Counties. Some of the rainfall amounts that we`re seeing are a good 20%-25% of the TOTAL rainfall amounts we see in a year around here. MRMS radar estimates show a swath of 14 inches of rainfall with a few pixels of 17 inches. Even though this is likely an overestimation, it`s still quite impressive to see amounts that high since this morning. In the 4-5 years we`ve been using this radar rainfall estimation this product, we think this is the highest we`ve seen it as it`s maxed out the color scale. There`s no wonder we were able to get incredible rainfall rates/amounts this morning as the 12Z sounding from the office recorded Precipitable Water (PW) value of 2.37 inches which is well above the Daily Max of 2.21 inches for August 21st. The good news is...rainfall rates and amounts are on the downward trend finally which should help some of the hardest areas hit this morning. Flood waters should begin receding here soon especially those in Dickson and Houston Counties. However, still a dire/catastrophic situation ongoing in Humphreys and Hickman Counties!!! In addition, we are continuing to monitor the flash flood threat for Maury, Perry, and Lewis Counties as another 1-3 inches of rain will be possible in these counties. With that said, continued the Flash Flood Watch until 3pm. Off and on thunderstorms will be possible outside of the Flash Flood Watch too. Please stay tuned to any and all warnings and please do not travel into these hard hit flooded counties if you do not have to! Outside of the flood threat, we are monitoring the potential for a strong thunderstorm or two later this afternoon mainly across Southern Middle Tennessee. Although this threat seems rather secondary at the moment to the ongoing flash flooding. Stay safe out there everyone and help us remind everyone Turn Around Don`t Drown and Move to Higher Ground! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Very heavy rain with some thunder embedded has popped up over my area for the last 40 minutes or so. This a a super soaker we didn't need before the remnants of Ida hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 1.5 inches of rain from this storm. Still pouring just southwest of me, that will likely work over my area too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This slow soaker is much needed for our lawns. I’m around 1.5” so far. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 3.16 inches so far after that inch and a half head start yesterday. The rain slacked off for a bit earlier but it's back to coming down pretty good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 R.I.P. frogs. Every one is probably strangled by now! I also had 1.5 inches yesterday and as of 6:30pm today an additional 3. Still pouring hard. I'm expecting Knox County Schools to close tomorrow for flooding. Edit: 4 inches today as of 9pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 4.8 inches since the start yesterday, it's been heavy and steady this evening and it's coming down pretty hard right now. Was at a high school volleyball match earlier and the gym roof started leaking in multiple places during the game. Lots of water on the roof. There was high water in the school parking lot just trying to leave there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
