John1122 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Dewpoint is a ridiculous 77 degrees. Air temp is up to 84 here at the golf course. It feels about as bad as it has any day this year. Looks like any storms are going to hold off until tonight if future radars are to be believed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234snow Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Very heavy rain here but not even close to as much thunder as this morning. It is pouring down hard here. The storm just east of the tornado warning looks like it is developing a little hook to me. Heading close to Colonial Heights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to weaken a touch just prior to getting to my location. Still a strong storm but it seems the tornadic activity was no longer being seen on radar by the time it reached here. Have to admit, seeing that tornado symbol heading toward me on Radarscope was a bit unsettling! Sent from my SM-G781V using Tapatalk 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Fortunately, both low level shear and deep layer shear were not enough to sustain a tornado. CC drop could have been a brief touchdown though. We're looking forward to the other kind of touchdowns - from the Vols! Now.. here in Chattanooga 10am, where the hell are my 60s dewpoints? This 70s stuff is FUBAR. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Worked the night shift on a construction site in Cartersville GA last night. Throughly enjoyed the light show over tn, never a moment where multiple lighting strikes were visible in the distance. Reminded me of watching storms at night from the beach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Several damage reports from Jonesborough just scanning social media. Carter Co was hit pretty hard as well. Lots of tree damage in Dennis Cove. Several school systems are closed today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Storms got real up that way. I think down here (southeast Tenn) the mid-levels never cooled off enough. Got some good lightning and stuff. But it came from skinny towers. Guess I can't say turkey towers with lightning and rain, but they had that scrawny look. Note I might have missed more robust Cu since it was dark, and I relied on lightning only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Yeah, this wasn’t nearly as bad as a couple of weeks ago. Lots of lightning, but thankfully no wind. Looks like the storms re-intensified some once they crossed I-81. I was already looking at the backs of my eyelids by the time the storms reached the foothills. Super common here to have storms lose strength as the reach the city center if Kingsport and then re-fire once they hit Bristol. Winter snow squalls do something similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Monday November 20 is Outlooked. If the warm sector doesn't get a lot of rain, it has potential. SPC isn't too excited about instability, but it's shear season. Speed and turning from 850 mb to 500 by is quite impressive. Mid levels are not THAT warm. Any sunshine in the warm sector should achieve what little CAPE is required this time of year. Yes I'm a few days earlier than I normally post. But the weather has been quiet, the Champions Classic has been played, and I really need a new distraction right now. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I'll take cold rain for $400. Actually there's potential. We got a ton of family stuff this weekend, so my interest is zero. Cold season South. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 This afternoons runs show the system coming through Mid Tn faster than showed yesterday.HRRR seems to be a outlier with SBCapes ranging upwards of 1.5K all the way to Nashville.Who know if the NAM is right there should be a decent half way decent tornado threat in Southern TN,North Alabama into the early evening.See what the next runs show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Flash* Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 The Tornado Warning has expired for that one cell so that's good news! Right now, looking at some of the short term modeling, I imagine conditions will be slightly less favorable for eastern middle TN as opposed to west/western mid TN as we continue into the late afternoon/evening hours. Also, based on latest radar trends, I imagine southern KY will need to pay close attention to what's starting to fire. Honestly, I expected storms to cluster out but dynamics might have been underplayed by modeling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect conditions to be slightly less favorable for most of middle TN as opposed to west TN as we continue in the mid-afternoon, especially east of 65. Not sure about that,storm mode looks like it should last until we start to lose diurnal heating ,severe should last until then at least..IMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
