You're in a good spot to get a couple inches.

Great news! I was in the mountains (Tellico) a couple of hours ago. Saw some great flakes.

How is it looking in Athens?

How is 30 miles north of Knoxville looking?

Cold, but clear and not expecting anything, I'm in Tazewell ( Claiborne county ) by the way

How is it looking in Athens?

Right now, the ground is just wet and there's barely any precipitation.

They're beginning to hype up the next weather system coming through later this week.

What do you think VK?

Looks like some flooding right now.

Which could be bad for the mountains that had the fires (mudslides).

What do you think VK?

If you're talking about the weekend storm, I think it's a wait and see situation. The SPC doesn't outline any severe threat for us this weekend at this time. As RT said, flooding will probably be a bigger issue.

[Nerd-Vol]

Glad I took the Mazda to work today. It was a very pretty day out until two hours ago.

Around Murvul we didn't get ping-pong sized hail but about dime sized, good for a change.

This system seemed to take a turn south and missed my area but I've seen some crazy hail pictures from around the area even in other parts of Knoxville.

On Clinton Highway near Schaad Rd (15 minutes from my house), there was a report of golfball size hail. I think there was another report of golfball size in Lenoir City. Bradley County had the biggest hail, which was baseball size.
