nrgjeff Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Might not be a surprise, but from MRX. Should be fine to share public info. Below are some interesting trends for September I wanted to share with you: Chattanooga · Only 0.09" for the month · Unless 0.32" is reached (unlikely), this will be the 3rd driest September on record and the driest since 1919 Knoxville · Only 0.35" for the month · Currently at the 5th driest September on record, but rainfall is more likely in the next couple of days Tri-Cities · 0.79" for the month · Currently at the 5th driest September on record, but rainfall is more likely in the next couple of days 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 One heck of a flooding storm going on right now. Nice to get a big shot of water as leaf season is going. Just to make sure the deep layers of leaves aren't super dry. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 No measureable rain this month IMBY. I think that may have happened in the 2016 drought, but at a minimum I have tied my driest ever month. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one at the Campbell County football game and I saw one online at a couple of Knoxville area games. Feeling true fall outside.

dwagner88 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 0.16" in the gauge yesterday brings my rainless streak to a close. The last measurable rain I had before that was 8/28. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted October 8, 2023 Author Share Posted October 8, 2023 Already down to 45. Not sure why I'm bordered by frost advisories and not under one but I'm going to assume it's going to frost here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 38 this morning. I didn't get up early enough to see if there was any frost, but I doubt it. There was a slight breeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 Nothing very heavy but we've had a pretty good 45 minute shower here. I was worried that it might not rain at all. Every drop that hits a leaf helps with the coming fire season. After year after year of epic rainfall totals and 3 500 year flooding events, I didn't know if we'd ever be dry for any length of time again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 My lawn hasn't had any stress really this year. We've had several nice showers this afternoon, then sunshine, then back to showers. If this were late November to March it would probably be a snowshower kind of day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were late November to March it would probably be a snowshower kind of day. My lawn was completely gone at one point. I’m talking burnt toast. Even Bermuda started going dormant from the lack of rain back in August. Mt Leconte has over 3” since yesterday afternoon. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Dryness is easily at 2016 levels here. No surface water remains in any ponds near my house. They are totally dry. Not sure how the wildlife is coping with it. Even larger creeks/streams have very little flow remaining. I had 5.23" of rain in August, none at all in September, and only 0.54" in October. 7 Day WPC is also bone dry. Yikes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes.I started drying out in the middle of August and I’ve only had about 1.5” since then. Half of that came on a renegade storm that lasted 30min. So probably none of that got into the ground. I can tell with the cooler temps the ground moisture is starting to seep back up to the surface. My lawn in areas that I haven’t watered has turned back green in the shade. .
