[Nerd-Vol]

So is 36 hours of massive downpour more or less useful than a week of moderate rain?

 

[VolMax]

So is 36 hours of massive downpour more or less useful than a week of moderate rain?

I'd say this toad strangler's good for Sevier County fires.

Overall, three day soakers are better...too much runoff when it all comes down at once.

 

[VolMax]

Wonder why I get the text alert for tornado warning at 2:00 but not for the one around 12:30. Anybody know how the alert system works? Seems hit or miss.

 

[Coug]

So is 36 hours of massive downpour more or less useful than a week of moderate rain?

Ideally slow, steady, and paced is more beneficial but desert rats as we are we'll take whatever we can get.

 

[Vol knight]

There were 2 confirmed tornadoes in East Tennessee yesterday. An EF2 with Max winds up to 135 mph hit Athens. Also, an EF3 hit Polk County with Max winds of 140 mph.

 

[Coug]

Looks like we'll be getting our first arctic plunge Thursday.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Looks like we'll be getting our first arctic plunge Thursday.

Time to fire up the euro.

 

[Vol knight]

Time to fire up the euro.

Yep, that time is upon us.

I'm going to be doing something a little different this winter. I'm only going to post model runs that are within 5 days of when a system will affect us.

Drought uupdate:

With the recent rains, everyone in East Tennessee has dropped down a category compared to before the big storms. Still need a lot more rain, but more relief is on the way.
