New blog

Well, I've created a blog on my website, EastTennesseeWeather.com. So, this one will no longer have any new posts or anything on it and after a while, I'll delete it.

Snow Possile on Wed/Thu

GFS shows the potential for snow on Wednesday and ESPECIALLY Thursday. For Wednesday, I wouldn't count on getting much snow, if any, in the lower elevations. But for Thursday, as of right now, it looks pretty likely that it'll snow all around the region.

Stay tuned...

Chance of Snow for Late Friday/Early Saturday

As of right now, it looks like we could see some snow in the mountains and maybe even in the valleys come late Friday night and early Saturday morning. I really haven't looked to see if it can carry into the morning or afternoon but I highly doubt it. But then again, I'm no meteorologist. I'm not sure if there will be any accumulation in the valleys but I do believe there may be some in the mountains.

Finally, another post

Apparently I had completely forgotten that I had a blog until the other day when I just magically remembered. So since I realized I have one, I figured I'd make a post just so I can say the blog is still alive.

Nothing much to discuss weather-wise. According to MRX, for Kingsport, it'll be pretty nice until Tuesday evening. Sunday and Monday have predicted highs in the low 70s. ut then it looks like it'll start raining Tuesday night and at least continue into Wednesday.

Scattered T-Storms on Sunday followed by Snow?!?!

With the NWS calling for a chance of scattered t-storms on Sunday, it is hard to believe it could be snowing again come Monday night and into Tuesday. But, surely enough, that's what the forecast is. Sunday, I think the Tri-Cities will mainly just see rain, but you cannot rule out a rumble or two of thunder or high winds as well. Then into Sunday night, I don't think we'll get any snow, maybe a flurry but I think you should be considered lucky if you even see a single flake stick to the ground.

The latest NAM shows no precipitation on Sunday at all but it does show that some rain/snow will begin to move into the area on Monday evening. Although most of the precipitation we see will be rain, some of it may turn into snow. Light rain/snow will may continue into Tuesday. During all of this, we will be under quite a trough and things could get pretty windy at times.

GFS essentially says the same thing, however, it does show up to half an inch of rain when the system first starts to go through, before it turns to snow.

Severe Weather Threat for the Remainder of the Week

It looks like we could be seeing some thunder and possibly some severe storms here in Tennessee over the next few days.

EWALL's GFS models says that a storm system will form in the ArkLaTex region and rise northwards, forming quite a squal line for Middle and Eastern TN. I

Thursday, I am supposed to commute down to Morristown to attend a SKYWARN class. Hopefully, it won't get canceled due to severe weather! How ironic...
