East Tennessee Weather II

[Coug]

We need a good thunderstorm or two. I haven't had my fill of adrenaline this spring.

I've been telling people we will be begging for rain by August.

That's a very common occurrence between late June through August.

The US has had a near record low for number of tornadoes so far this year.

I know that. I think it will be a lot worse than normal. I'm not a meteorologist, but I've lived long enough to see this pattern before. I fear a bad prolonged drought is coming, but like I said I'm no weather buff, I hope I'm wrong.

To the subject of low tornado numbers our weather here in Oklahoma is similar. Our meteorologist showed a graphic recently where for the year we have ten tornadoes, normal for this date is close to 100. Also to the lower rainfall numbers he says to buy land in south central Canada, the next century’s bread basket after climate change.

Probably close to 10 inches if rain in that span.

Just to follow up: it rained an inch the week I was there.

Yeah, The ST storm didn't evolve or track the way when I posted. My apologizes.

I'm keeping my eyes on tomorrow, as we might see some severe storms. A lot of uncertainty right now.

Not that this is east to weather but how do you guys feel the winter will be for ski season? I use a few long outlook sites like on the snow but any of you guys look at what you feel are accurate models? It’s only 160 days away!

East, Middle, or West TN?

East, Middle, or West TN?

East and Middle. Hopefully, the late night model runs remove at least some of the uncertainties.

Way too soon for any degree of certainty for winter.

I was mainly looking for what patterns are set up like El Niño etc
