~Tropical Weather Bulletin~

The remnants of Hurricane Harvey will be causing the weather pattern the next 2-3 days (Thursday, Friday, and possibly Saturday) to be very active in East TN.

Primary concerns:

- Localized Flash Flooding is likely. Widespread flooding is thankfully not expected due to the dry week or 2 we've had.
- Brief isolated tornadoes are possible due to the favorable low level wind shear from Harvey. The heavy rain and cloud cover will limit instability, thus keeping the tornado threat low but not zero.

I am in Memphis, and we got pounded today. Tornado warnings earlier this afternoon. Whole lot of rain. Just lost power.

I don't think anyone said that Knoxville would get as much rain as Memphis and Nashville did. Besides, we did get a good soaker yesterday, especially in the foothills and mountains. There will be more rain today, but the windy conditions from the mountains will create a downsloping effect where most will stay dry.

I heard it on the radio I believe at the time that we'd likely see 3-5 inches of rain between Wednesday and Saturday due to Harvey making it's way north. I'm not sure what the final tally has been since the rain started though. It was definitely windy today, especially in the afternoon.

RT better be hiding in a hole somewhere with this prediction, because it went straight from summer into fall. Absolutely no transtition. :whistling:

But I didn't expect it to get cold this quick.


To add


Everyone needs to monitor the Hurricane. It's a possibility we receive substaimed winds of 40-60MPH Monday night.

It could still be a tropical storm once it reaches East TN. Still a lot of uncertainty with the exact track as far as the storm heading towards us.

Interesting fact:

The last tropical storm to hit East TN was Ivan in 2004.

Now that Irma has made landfall, I can now give my official forecast for what we'll see in East TN from the remnants.

Rainfall: 1-3 inches. Some areas, especially the foothills, may see very little rain due to the downsloping from the northeast winds. Localized flooding is possible in the usual flood prone areas.

Winds:

Valley North of I-40: 15-25 mph sustained, with gusts of 35+ mph possible.

Valley South of I-40 and mountains: 25-35 mph sustained, with gusts of 40+ mph possible (50+ in the highest elevations)

Tornado threat: Very low. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Safe to assume the warmer temps are officially gone until next summer? This particular weather trend in east TN is so strange. The last few years you'd see upper 80's to mid 90's through September. It was in the mid 60's on Halloween night last year even. We might be wearing coats by then this year. Should I get excited for winter this year?

Yup. First time I've actually been excited about winter in a while.

Winter update:

As of now, the very long range models aren't looking too good for a cold and snowy winter. Still a lot of time to go until we have a better idea of what we'll see, but I'm not optimistic at this time.

C'mon VK. Be optimistic. If the models showed the opposite you still wouldn't be😝

Some of these models need some tweaking.

None of them got anything remotely close to any of the Hurricanes. It really bothered me about all of that.

But anyway VK, we need to start giving some weekly forecast if time allows.

I hope it's a cold, snowy one. We deserve it.

I told you Summer wasn't over yet. I was just up in Pennslyvania & it was near the low 90's.


Cold winter, Yea I'm thinking right now it's going to happen . Snowy, I'm leaning towards it. Still a long way to go.
