Ok weather gurus.

Is winter over or what's going on here?

Overall, it's over for the most part. I can't rule out a March surprise though.

Speaking of late snows, I was watching WATE 6 news one day, and one of the meteorologists was talking about how it can actually snow in East TN as late as April. I think it was in April of 1986 or 1987, but there was a snowstorm that dumped 10 inches of snow in Knoxville.

I'm no guru but the answer to your question seems pretty obvious.

This has been one of the shortest, most boring winters in some time.

As far as how winter went, it kind of depends on which part of Knox County you lived in with that one snowstorm that moved in. From what I heard, areas west of Knoxville got little to no accumulation. My house in North Knoxville got 2.5 inches. My uncle's place in South Knoxville (where I was at the time) got 4 inches.

Yeah, we got a dusting here off Pellissippi at Lovell.

What I meant by boring was that it's just been very uneventful. One snow storm, very mild temps, and nothing much really below the 20's this year that I can think of. Typically we have one or two really cold snaps that drops us in the teens.

We could still see some freezes next month.

I remember getting out of school for snow in April around those years. I think we got around 2 inches. I remember being slightly disappointed it wasn't much snow to play in.

Well, I thought my post on the potential severe weather overnight went through, but it didnt. Here's a brief version:

We'll see a line of strong to potentially severe thunderstorms roll through our area overnight into early Saturday morning. The areas with the best chance of seeing severe weather is areas along and north of interstate 40. Primary threats with the stronger storms will be damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and large hail up to quarter size.

~Severe Weather Alert~

There's an Enhanced risk for Severe thunderstorms on Wednesday for areas along and west of Knox County. There's a Slight risk for everyone else east of Knox County. There's still some uncertainties regarding the timing of this system and the exact location of the strongest storms. I'll keep you guys updated as we get closer.


I can't post a primary risks section yet because of the uncertainty. I will post them as we get closer to the event. Morristown is not giving any specifics in regards to this system, but they are saying that this could potentially be a Significant severe weather outbreak.

This was a big storm here and I'm shocked we didn't have any damage other than losing a couple of shingles...small hail but is was sideways and made it sound a lot worse..lightning that lit up the whole sky even at 3-4 in the morning

~VK's Severe Weather Discussion~

I said before that I would wait to post potential threats with this system, but I do have an update on that. The NWS SPC is expecting a widespread damaging wind threat with this upcoming system. There's a possibility that we could see a Derecho on Wednesday.

For those who don't know what a Derecho is, it's a long lasting, very fast squall line that can produce widespread wind damage. Typically, most of the derecho will have at least 58 mph wind speed (the minimum speed for a severe thunderstorm), with parts of the line having winds 75+ mph. They can do more damage than tornadoes, as they can travel over 250 miles in distance.

I'll post more tomorrow. There still could be some changes.
