East Tennessee Weather II

#1,880
#1,880
Update for Thursday:

As of now, based on the timing of the system, I’m not very concerned about the upcoming system. The main line will be in East Tennessee Late Thursday night to Early Friday morning. The instability looks weak, but there does appear to to be yet again good wind shear. Any storm that can reach severe levels will have damaging winds in excess of 60 mph as the main threat.

IF the timing changes and the system moves faster and hits us in the afternoon/early evening hours, then things could be bad. Hopefully, the current timing ends up being correct.

Looks like lenoir city south will be the main threat at this time. Looking at some models VK that low really develops over N.C. has a tropical storm look.

Anyone notice that TWC is phasing out our local weather entirely ? Now heavy trucks stuck in snow or wrecked are a staple.

On The Weather Channel HD channel, there is no local on the 8s. It just shows regional weather.

I'm on cable from Comcast. I have to assume it's their decision. They used to have a low-def channel (101) that broadcast our local weather 24/7, that disappeared. Comcast answered that they were phasing out all their low-def. Comcast HD had local weather for 2 minutes every 8 minutes, but it got more brief as time went on. Recently, it was only on at 18 and 48 minutes past the hour. That disappeared last week, but I hoped it was only because of all the severe weather, not because they thought we wouldn't notice, again. There used to be our local radar at the lower r/h corner all the time, it's gone. On the phone I get no acceptable answers from Comcast. Guess I should be happy I'm retired since my job required me to be outside 80% of the time. It's akin to the KNS now that is basically USAToday.

With the prevalence of smartphones weather apps and radar apps that update ever 5 minutes with Allisonhouse or other streams I would think there's not much of a need for the radar and weather reports continuously on the tv. I mean there's probably a small niche, but not enough to justify it financially. Dunno.

For some reason, "Local on the Eights" has reappeared at 18 and 48 past the hour. Maybe someone read my email. :)
