Daniel Boone Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Western Lee County picked up 1 to 2 inches of rain yesterday evening. Another .25 to.50" parts of same area this morning. Only a trace here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Getting a good popup thunderstorm right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Ended up with a solid 45-60 minutes of moderate to heavy rain from that storm. It was a real soaker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew70 Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 We had one here night before. Solid 1”-2”. Even some minor flash flooding. I hope we have some niche thunderstorms about every 3-4 days all summer. My yard is looking wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 High clouds are encroaching East Tennessee / east Regional Forum area this evening. Lunar eclipse looks clouded out Middle and West. Hoping thin high clouds won't make much of a difference in East Tenn. In contrast to solar, a lunar eclipse does not require perfect weather. Just not overcast. Can't justify a thread this late, so going with increasing high clouds observation. Hopefully a good show later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Thin clouds giving a hazy look to the moon, but it appears that its beginning to get shadowed on the bottom side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Worked out well for naked eye viewing through the high clouds. Orange effect was quite muted; so, did not attempt photography. Partial phases were pretty classic even with high clouds. Glad I woke up for the last one (4am) since this was less than ideal. Last two were visible from windows, easy haha! Three ago (cold January) is most memorable because it was the first time weather worked out in literally decades for me. However directly overhead it required going outside in ski clothes. At any rate, the total solar remains the granddaddy of them all. Little less than two years I'll visit Texas or Ohio or somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have shared this before....but when we were at Sanibel Island years ago, we shot some really cool shots of the sunset there. We noticed a lot of people(more than usual...but not by much) viewing it as well. We took some really good shots. Got home, and realized we had photographed a partial solar eclipse that evening. LOL. The shots were awesome. All we had to do was to dial-back some of the exposure features on digital editing...and there it was. Anyway, my dad got some good shots last night with his iPhone. They are a bit grainy, but it looked like TRI had decent skies. The moon was definitely red in his shots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Thundering a bit here but absolutely no sign of rain on the radar yet. Looks like a potentially wet 40 and north especially over the next 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Yes I'm working on an inch plus of rain already. Might get nearly that much more, but probably another half. Then more later this week. Lawn is happy. I am happy. No more watering! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It's just flat out pouring down here. After having a high chance of rain that fell flat Friday, Saturday and yesterday, I watered yesterday evening, guaranteeing heavy rain today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Thank you John. We all appreciate you watering, lol! I last watered Friday right after mowing, to reduce stress on it. Fortunately that's not necessary for a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 1.75” at my house. Really needed this bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Had an extremely heavy shower with some thunder overnight. Even though I watered plants, going to finish May well AN on rainfall. Though over 4 inches of it fell in a couple of days early in the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Another 1.5” yesterday and it looks like a brief line of heavy showers will push through before noon this morning. Should be good for a couple of weeks now. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 After a final monsoon-like shower around noon to 1, its cleared out and feels like early October outside now. Breezy and cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Boone Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Kmrx forecasted highs busted yesterday and today. Forecasted high yesterday: 77, actual 69. Forecasted high today : 74, Actual 67. Cloud cover and Rain was culprit but, that was expected. I'm curious to whether Model's busted or forecasters . If models were depicting correctly, quite possibly forecasters were adjusting to climatology. That can really burn you sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Perfect conditions for the potential meteor storm. I've seen a few passing by already. If it develops into a full blown storm it should be great. It's rare they happen and extremely rare they happen on a new moon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 We had a sub-par storm chase in the Plains. Definitely should have stayed here for the meteors. Plus I know the daytime hiking weather was also fantastic here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Quite a chill this morning, 50 degrees. It's nearly 2pm and my house cooled down enough that my AC hasn't even kicked on today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Made it to 89 yesterday. Started cloudy with a storm just west of me this morning. It's clearing off now. I expect to break 90 today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 It's 83 with a 76.6 DP this morning.. this is the most oppressive heat I've felt since I've moved here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Managed to get to 91 yesterday and 92 today. Lows have gotten down to around 70.8. Not fun but not as bad as the valley areas. Another observation, a mother bear and cub passed through my back yard yesterday afternoon, headed towards the deep hole in the creek at the far end of my property. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 93.0 today. Record high for my station. Going back to July 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 The 40s this morning felt great. Hopefully the heat this week is less humid than last week. Last week was the most humidity I've ever felt here that didn't result in a popup storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thunderstorms are firing up but there's a gap just upstream from me and it looks like I may slip right through the middle. After several years of epic rains I figured the dry weather would eventually hit. It definitely is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently watching that little break and hoping it fills in. My yard desperately needs rain at the moment (as I am sure most people's yards here need). I did manage a whooping .01 this morning. Hope it fills in or manages a little back build for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 The storm ended up building over me and it's been raining for over an hour now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
