high Saturday 57, overnight low/7am temp 44; BR-R again, and once more into the forties for tonight before a warm-up. Did not notice any frost; there are no cars that I can see parked outside here, which are often the first places where it can be found. |

high Sunday 64, overnight low/7am temp 44; once again, I did not see any frost here today, either. Prediction is for 70 today, 75 tomorrow and near 80 on Wednesday. Apparently the low's in the 40's will, however, be with us for a little longer, as the warm-up will be slower for the nighttime. If you were hoping for some rain in the next week to ten days, you might as well forget about it, as it looks to be clear and dry that whole time. Sorry 'bout that. |

high Thursday 80 here (it reportedly was 83 at airport), overnight low/7am temp 55; should be nice fall weather for the Vols' football game tomorrow evening. TV meteorologists are still saying our best chance of rain in two weeks will be on this coming Tuesday and especially on Wednesday, when significant precip amount is expected. I certainly hope they're right on both. |

high Friday 80, overnight low/7am temp 53; DENSE FOG as well as heavy dew, visibility LESS THAN 100 yards. Must be getting some more humid air coming into the area. It has gotten close enough for TV meteorologists to slap a number on the rain chances for this Tuesday and Wednesday, and they are 50% and 40% respectively. I, for one, hope they're being conservative on that, because we surely could use some precip right about now. |

high Saturday 78, overnight low/7am temp 56; as an aside it was only 77 at the airport yesterday. Consensus of TV meteorologists has somewhat lower chances of rain for us on Tuesday and Wednesday (and now Thursday): 20% to 30%. While we're still ahead for the year, it's been about two weeks since we had any measurable precip, so we certainly could use some rain, please and thank you very much. UPDATE: thermometer has now dropped to 55. |

A good soaking end to our two-week mini-drought, and we are thankful to have gotten it. More rain looks to be in store for the middle of next week, followed by the coldest low temperatures of the season so far. Not quite as cold tonight and tomorrow night with lows in the 40s, but a nice day in between for Vols football against number one LSU. |

high Friday 74, overnight low/8am temp 53; yesterday was beautiful but breezy, with winds often about 25 mph. It will be a little cooler today and predicted to be in the 40s tonight (of course, they said that for last night too!). Then a little warm-up is to begin tomorrow and last until mid-week when rain and a cold front come through with lower area temperatures including nighttimes as low as the 30s. Brr-r. |

Yes, it was exactly half an inch, no rounding, and yes I melted all the ice before taking the "official" reading. For what it's worth the low here this morning was 29 F. Observed high was 44 at sunrise, probably more at midnite. Heavy snow for about 20 minutes at 4:30 pm, zero accumulation. |

Big cooldown coming with lows in the teens on both Monday and Tuesday nights, and Tuesday's high may barely (if at all?) make it above freezing, they say. Today would be a good time to bring your hoses in, and put insulated covers on your outside faucets, and do any other winterizing steps such as caulking. |

Had to thaw out the gauge before reading; also had ice on our recycle bin that I had to pry open this morning. Don't know if we got any snowflakes overnight, but I do know there was no sign of any such at observation time. There was frost on the roof but not enough to be mistaken for snowfall (and I looked). And the rain we had was an all-day-long good soaker. That's the weather report in our neck of the woods. |

precip reported above is from the light rain that kept falling for part of the morning after Observation Time yesterday. This total might have been a little higher if power outage had not kept my alarm from waking me up at the usual time, but conversely my reported total for yesterday's O.T. would have been a little lower. I guess you could add the two together and treat it as a multi-day accumulation if that makes it any better. |

That was a long outage your site had this morning. Hope it's fixed good, as it went down at the worst possible time, about 9 a.m. or so Eastern Daylight Time, when it is the peak time for lots of folks to submit their data.
We had a trace around 5 p.m., a T-storm about 8 p.m., thunder again at 11:30, and more rain before sunrise. All in all, the first decent rain in over two weeks. |

starting at about 6:30 p.m., one (or more) T-storm(s) moved slowly across our location, leaving 0.70" liquid precip plus a scattering of pea to small gumball sized HAIL (estimated maximum size about one centimeter). The storm(s) lasted for nearly an hour and hard rain came for around 30 minutes in the first half of that stormy hour, the second half being mostly dry thunder, at least here. There was also some rather strong wind in and around when the HAIL fell, but I don't have the instruments to measure that; and for the record I don't have a COCORAHS hail pad either, sorry to say. For what it's worth, the extra 0.03" apparently came from a little shower after dark that I didn't see. Also in the FWIW category, I guess, is that just a few minutes before the thunder started, I had checked the radar on all 3 local TV stations websites because of a severe T-storm warning my weather radio picked up for Blount County which is very close by, and there wasn't anything showing at all here in Knox County, so it must have literally been one of those pop-up storms you hear about that seem to come out of nowhere. Note: separate HAIL report has now been filed. |

this was from the continuation of prior day's rain into the new day yesterday morning, making a two-day event total of 0.58 inches; the storm(s) missed us to the east last evening, although we could see occasional lightning and may even have heard some thunder from it. By the way, I have a QUESTION for you: on a day like yesterday, there's going to be some evaporation from the rain gauge, especially during the afternoon hours, so how do you account for that? Or should we read the gauge before that happens (I did.)? I understand the National Weather Service takes hourly readings, which should at least mitigate that factor from having too much impact on their official record. |

not a drop in the gauge; if we got a trace or so then it must have evaporated overnight (see yesterday's question). Radar showed a t-storm headed right toward us in late afternoon until it veered off to go nearer to Farragut; all we got here was a little thunder. |

CAUTION: a different type of gauge located in another part of our yard showed a reading of nearly twice this amount and I don't know why they are so far off from each other, but I'm sticking with my "official" location. If it makes any difference, we had a deluge of rain around 3:00 p.m. for over half an hour, and just for fun I estimated it was falling at a rate of possibly as much as 3 inches an hour, more or less. We did get thunder & lightning, not much wind, and no hail. |

There was heavier rain just over the ridge in the Bearden District while we were out shopping yesterday afternoon, but road was dry here by the time we got back home. There also were some showers here yesterday morning. NOTE TO MODERATORS: NICE TOUCH ADDING THE TOTAL PRECIP AMOUNT COLUMN TO THE COMMENTS PAGE!. |

this report consists almost entirely of continuing rain yesterday morning from the system that brought multiple overnight T-storms through during the wee hours; only a little bit of additional precip earlier this morning. Total 2-day rain event was 2.25 inches. |

we had two different brief light showers during the day yesterday, but neither one was a measurable amount. It is possible that adding the two together might have just reached the threshold of measureability, but there was enough sunshine in between to evaporate any "trace" of the first one before the second one fell, so we'll never know. |

No precip despite all the "weather alerts" issued by certain TV station(s) for yesterday. High school football games supposedly were in danger not from just rain but T-storm lightning. But all that came was a small pocket of rain in a far corner of the county and no lightning within a hundred miles or more. They can explain it, of course, but so much for the accuracy of even their short-range forecasts, and reports have it that soon we'll be getting official (and probably useless?) 30-day forecasts! |
