PowellVolz Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Unexpected storms rolled through ETn this morning. Nothing for my area but it just shows these little wrinkles in the flow are hard for mods to pick up on. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wurbus Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Kinda wild that I now have received measurable rain on 11 of 19 days in July that has only totaled up to 1.04 inches at my house. The most I've received on a single day so far is .27. A lot of storms have just missed my house and we've only caught some light rain from most of them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 So far, my high today is 72. Just had another round of moderate rain pass over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Same, high of 71 and 1.4" so far. Great porch napping weather 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Man, this thunder sounds like bombs going off. Apparently lots of strikes really close by. Looks like the high for today is going to be 69 and that was at midnight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 Tons of flooding just west of me. It's rained off and on throughout the day but the heavy stuff was just off to my west. Finally getting very heavy rain here with all the thunder. Fortunately not like Scott and Morgan got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy that we probably aren't much more than 60 miles apart as the crow flies and there's been that big of a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure is man. Totalled 0.27" yesterday. Enough to keep grass alive but, nothing for water levels. Sad. The persistence of the Pattern this Summer is rather uncanny. Complexes continue to travel in pretty much the same path ; not much shift at all. Nino really showing it's print along with other rather anomalous parameters. I'm thinking the massive Wildfires and the excessive smoke are having some effect, not only on sun filtering and T's but, also larger scale. What's your take John ?

Yeah we've had dry periods but for the most part we've had a couple of inches each week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 For the second morning in a row a heavy shower developed over me and soaked everything. Almost in the exact same place as yesterday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 This is the hottest day of the week so far at 3:25 with some room for warming still to go if we don't get clouds. My high for the year is 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 If this weather station just south of Wartburg is correct, Holston may have melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 28, 2023 Author Share Posted July 28, 2023 Made it to 87.8. The temperature is down to 87.4 now. We are close to sunset for mby. I'll be fully behind the big ridges behind my house in the next 45 minutes. Areas in town 500-700ish feet lower than me look to be 93 to 95 today. Slight elevation, but much more so, lots of woods and the complete lack of nearby pavement, that really helps me stay cooler. It's a few miles and an entire mountain between me and any pavement more than about 15 feet wide, and it barely qualifies as pavement these days. It's mostly gravel. I have a hard time getting to the mid 90s unless we have low low humidity and today we do not have low humidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjagman Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Sitting at 92 right now.Heat Index is already over 100.HRRR shows us hitting 100 in a few hours,not sure it's gonna make it,its a little overcast which could hold back temps a couple degrees if nothing changes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Got up to 88.2 but now there's frequent thunder from a storm just to my south. It's unlikely to rain here from it but it's cooled the temperature down to 87 on the dot already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 It never has rained, but the temp is down to 85.1. This may be a no 90 summer imby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Some really bad storms in Kingsport tonight. Just checking w/ the TRI crew after that MCS moved through. Lots of trees down and many, many without power. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 About 5000 meters without power here. Ended up with some heavy rain and lots of thunder but the bad winds were south of me and east of me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 My neighbor has a tree through the side of his house. My parents are without power until Tuesday. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knoxtron Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Barely got any rain up here, 0.2" for the week... but doesn't sound like we want that wind! First time above 90° since we moved 1 year ago (91.9° on Thursday). Currently nearly 10° cooler than this time yesterday, sitting at 72° and I'm ready for fall haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 30, 2023 Author Share Posted July 30, 2023 No 90s for June or July. I've had more highs in the 70s this month than I have had highs of 87+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows what the mountains can do,while you enjoy the upslopes in winter it combats the heat in summer,not all the time but in general it does 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted July 31, 2023 Author Share Posted July 31, 2023 Wasn't expecting rain tonight but just had a shower. My tomatoes are huge. Now they just need to get ripe. I've been using heirloom varieties and they are slow to come and slow to ripen. They have been out about 85 days now. One of my plants is about 12 feet tall and is nearly as thick as a half dollar. It's the biggest I've ever managed to get one. The last three years severe storms have blown them over and broken them around this time of year, cage and all. This year I built a green limb frame work around the cages a couple weeks ago. Hopefully it holds up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 78F in the afternoon of August 8th. Can you believe that? Is the worst of summer behind us? Might be. I can see one last push of heat to end the month and maybe begin Sept, but after that...average highs begin to drop quickly. So, even AN temps by mid-Sept are tolerable. Clock is ticking. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 59 this morning and 79 for the high. It's the year without a summer practically here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
