Carvers Gap Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Yesterday felt like a heat wave. There was still snow on the north facing side of my house, but the temps felt awesome. Hard to believe just three days ago that daytime wind chills were 12F. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Just had a nasty squall line come through with accumulating sleet that has covered the ground/cars with a dusting. Wind is whipping. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Was up at 4:15 last night and looked out and it was snowing quarter sized thick flakes. A light dusting was in spots on grass. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Had some sleet and snow mixed overnight that dusted car tops but melted pretty quickly. Extremely windy today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hovered around 35 this morning before the warm front finally made it through. It quickly shot up to 68. The winds have begun in earnest now as well. Probably steady at 25 with 50mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge (KGKT) went from 41 at 8:15 am to 82 by 1:35 pm. 41° in a touch over five hours is absolutely wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math/Met Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 3 hours ago, Holston_River_Rambler said: Wildfire showing up on radar in Sevier County Unfortunately, winds will likely increase significantly in that area this evening. This particular setup actually favors that area for very high winds, especially in the Cove Mountain area. MRX Quote A climatologically high-end mountain wave event is occurring this afternoon and into tonight. Gusts 80 to 90 mph still seem likely, and possibly close to the 100 mph range. Outside of the mountains, gusts up to 50 mph are expected in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw on AshevilleWx that there was a link to one of the resort cams which shows the fire. Let's hope the high winds don't hit that fire before the rain does. During the Gatlinburg fire, the first line of rain died out and then the wind hit. An understatement on my part, we need the initial line to just pour down rain. For some reason we have been having combined fire and sever wx threads during the past 4-5 years, even during spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too far away from this fire. Also, a fire has broke out on Clinch Mountain east of Gate City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Made it down to 27 this morning. Well under the forecast low. Had a frost advisory but our last frost isn't normally until around April 30th and may frost isn't uncommon. So probably early to have issued them here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Picked up 0.02in today. The system just hit a brick wall as it moved NE it seems. I think convection along the coast robbed a good bit of the energy as well, which led to a sharp drop off the further north you go. Looks like we could see a few showers this evening/overnight, but now have to pin our hopes on tomorrow and whatever can be squeezed out on Friday/Saturday 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 I jus tread on social media that LeConte Lodge has 6.5" of snow and counting. Driving to JC tonight, I could see peaks(along the spine of the Apps) over 5,000' have snow on them. On the way back from JC as we were crossing Bays on I-26, snow was falling w/ a mix in the valley where rates where high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Intense bands are working through again now. Getting some quarter plus sized flakes coming down pretty hard. This band is the one bringing it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 The snow showers are making it into the valley from the plateau up this way. Making for a pretty morning all considered. Yesterday while in Abingdon I experienced a first. In the late afternoon some dime size hail was followed by some bursting snow say 20 minutes later. Temps were in the upper 40s and dropped to the mid 40s. My only guess is a strong downdraft associated with the storm allowed the flakes to reach ground altitude as much of a stretch as it was. Really ties in with the crazy wind we've been getting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Had a dusting on house tops this morning. Vehicles were covered by 4 p.m. yesterday in Wise while I was up there. Don't know how much they wound up with. College Camera's down so no estimation from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
