East Tennessee Weather II

Looking for 3 consecutive days off little chance of rain so I can dig/pour footers. Which model would be good to use in order to try and predict this? Thanks!
 
Thanks. Yeah, rain has been keeping me in a holding pattern for 3 weeks. Based on the GFS, I'll be waiting a few weeks more.


I’d guess about April 20th you should be good to go. I wish we had this pattern during winter.

But, Climotologist say we have a 5X more chance of seeing tornadoes during the peak of April.
 
Just for a little fun because it'll change more than likely. But right now here's some fun snow numbers for the 8th and 9th

Storm mode linear - does that imply straight line winds? Or does it mean something completely different?

Straight line winds. A line of storms will move through.

P.S. One correction on my previous post, the arrival time will actually be overnight on Tuesday into early Wednesday morning.

MODERATE risk for a huge swath of the Ohio and Tennessee valley. Includes all of West TN and parts of Middle TN up into Nashville.

Was getting ready to post that. The primary threats with these storms in Middle and West TN will be destructive winds in excess of 70 mph, large hail up to golfball size (especially Northwestern portions of West TN), and a few tornadoes are possible.
 
Update on East TN:

The western half of East TN has been upgraded to a slight risk. I expect the primary risks to be the same as I mentioned earlier, but I would add that some isolated areas could see stronger winds in parts of the line along and West of interstate 75
 
Watch Alert!!!!!!!!

Tornado Watch has been issued for western portions of West TN from now till 8:00 PM CST. Threats possible in and around the watch area include widespread destructive winds up to 75 mph, Large hail up to baseball size in isolated locations, and a few tornadoes.

I’m a little worried that this could be a supercell event in Memphis rather than a line. I hope that I’m wrong.
