RIP Mitchell Guist

Monday, April 30, 2012

I am sorry to my faithful readers for leaving you in the dark the last couple of weeks but I have been busy over the last couple of weeks. I have plans to further develop this blog into the leading weather blog in TN. As you know it is hard to compete with local media when giving a weather forecast. If this blog does not have atleast 150 or more views daily after 6 months I will terminate the blog permanently. I am sorry if I have to terminate the blog but you must understand that I have to have enough followers for this blog to be worth my time.

Sunny and Warm the Next 3 Days.

Today: sunny and a high of 81°
Tuesday: sunny with an occasional cloud and a high of 83°
Wednesday: mostly sunny and a high of 80°
Thursday: partly sunny with a 30% chance of a pop up shower and a high of 75°
Friday: scattered thunderstorms and a high of 78°. Note a few storms could become strong.
Saturday: scattered thunderstorms (mainly before 12 P.M.) and a high of 72°. Note a few storms could become strong.


I am continuing to track the possibility for severe weather Friday and Saturday. The models still have some differences but they are starting to agree. Also the latest models are showing instability topping at 750J, now granted this is not sufficient for tornado development but you do have to watch for the possibility of straight line winds and hail. 

Sunday, March 18, 2012

Warm Temps and Severe Weather Ahead

Today: sunny with a high of 78 °
Monday: Sunny with a few clouds and a high of 81°
Tuesday: sunny with a high of 82°
Wednesday: cloudy and a high of 75°
Thursday: scattered showers and thunderstorms with a high of 69°

Note: Be aware that a possibility does exist for the development of severe weather Friday afternoon through Saturday.

There is some uncertainty with this system that will develop into late next week. The Nam puts the system in here Fri-Sat while the GFS keeps the system to the west. But due to the even the remote possibility of the Nam being right I decided to go ahead and advise you of the situation a week in advance. Be advised that the Nam has a reputation at being right more often than the GFS so please take this seriously.

Update On Storm Potential

As of 9:54 P.M. the only severe thunderstorm in the U.S. is in Kentucky. The storms in Kentucky right now have a chance at producing an isolated tornado. For us the potential for severe weather as I said earlier is going to be low. There is still a chance for an isolated severe storm and the chance of a tornado in our vicinity is 5%. The only thing I see for sure right now is scattered showers overnight. Attached is a view at radar in Kentucky.

Thunderstorm Possible Overnight

Right now radar is clear but I do expect thunderstorms to start to fire around 10:30 P.M. as a cold front arrives from our west. Instability is weakening now that we don't have any solar heating so the severe threat should be minimal. But be advised that the cold front will induce some vertical forcing so an isolated tornado cannot be ruled out. The good thing is we had a cap for most of the day and the cold front did not come in around sunset or we could have had an ugly evening.

Extremely Warm Temperatures

Today will be mostly sunny with a high of 70.

Tonight brings a very good chance of severe weather so be prepared.

Friday will be mostly sunny after a few clouds in the morning and a high of 48.

Saturday will be sunny and 44

Sunday will be sunny and 51

Hey everyone I am proud to announce a new feature added to this website. If you will notice there is a link just below the title of the website that says live streaming radar. If you will click this link it will take you to a new window where if you click play you will see a live view of radar. Please keep this in mind though due to current limitations this live stream is only available when rain or storms are in Tennessee. I am currently customizing the software to deliver this live stream to you so if you access the stream in the next 48hrs the image might not be as crisp as possible but even as of this post the image is at near HD quality. Attached is an image showing where this link is.


Live Streaming Radar Test

From 6:00-7:00 tonight I will be performing a test of live streaming radar. This is only a test and you can expect issues with it. I hope to have a fully functional live stream of radar up and working by Thursday. I hope to have the live stream originating from this site when functional but for this test I ask that you access the following link to view radar. Please leave any comments or suggestions you may have.

Tornado Watch

A tornado watch has been issued for a lot of middle TN until 6:00 A.M. Grundy and Marion Counties are not in the watch area but storms are getting close.

Severe Weather Imminent

At this point severe weather is guaranteed. I do not think we are going to get as bad as Memphis and Mississippi is going to get though. The main threat will be for supercells which I think will stay to the west and south but that does not mean they do not have the potential to make it to middle TN. If you have not already done so please make a plan on what to do when severe weather hits tonight. What I do think will be the main threat for us will a squall line which is going to develop later on tonight, in the line will be the potential for bow echos which can have up to 100mph straight line winds but I also cannot rule out the possibility for tornadoes. The timing on this event will be 12A.M. to 7A.M. Monday morning. Attached is maps showing what is expected.

Severe Weather Highly Possible

Severe weather is scheduled to hit northern Alabama and Middle Tennessee Sunday night through Monday morning.  Now I do not want to cause panic but this will be a very dangerous situation. The main threat will be supercell thunderstorms that will be forming in front of a squall line Sunday night. A secondary threat will be the development of bowechoes which can grow to 20 miles in diameter and produce up to 100mph straight line winds. I want to stress to you to be aware of the weather and have your weather radios on. To give you an idea of the seriousness of this developing situation SPC is considering to upgrade the risk to a moderate risk for severe weather, statistically this would be a 30-45% chance of severe weather.  

New Tornado Watch

The tornado watch for most of west TN has been cancelled. A new tornado watch has been issued for most of middle and east TN along with parts of northern Alabama and Georgia.  The main threat with these storms is straight line wind and cloud to ground lightning. Today's high will be 55 with shower and thunderstorms off and on until about 1 P.M.

Friday, January 20, 2012

Tornado Watch

A tornado watch is now in effect for most of middle and west Tennessee until 5:00 A.M. Please have you weather radios on and set to alarm, also stay tuned to local media, and commercial radio. As of 11:00 P.M. a squall line is moving through West Tennessee near Clarksville. The storms that will affect us will be coming in from the southwest. I will be monitoring this situation as it progresses overnight and will update you on any warnings as they are issued.

URGENT Weather Information

I do not want to cause panic but please be advised that there is a slight chance for a severe weather outbreak Sunday night into Monday morning. Although this is not expected to be anything like April 27, there is a high probability for supercell thunderstorms to develop Sunday night. I know it can be a little annoying when you are trying to sleep and the weather radio keeps going off, but I urge everyone to have your weather radio on and set to alarm Sunday night. You will not have time to prepare for a tornado when it is headed toward you in the middle of the night so please make plans at this time on what you will do if you come under a tornado warning.

You may read more about the threat at this link http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day3otlk.html
 

Chance for Severe weather tonight

Tonight and tomorrow expect showers and thunderstorms. The storm prediction center has put middle Tennessee under a slight risk for severe weather. The main threat will be for damaging winds but there is a chance for a embedded super cell. Be sure to stay tuned to your NOAA weather radio. I will be monitoring the situation and updating this site if any counties in middle TN do come under any warnings. Attached is the map showing were severe weather is possible.

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Soggy, Cloudy Week Ahead


Today and tomorrow will be mostly cloudy with showers and maybe a thunderstorm arriving Friday night. Saturday temperatures will be around 59 with showers and thunderstorms. Sunday will be around 60 with Clouds and drizzle. Monday temperatures will be 54 cloudy. Tuesday will be sunny and 54. Now to a long range look. For those who want snow, it might be around the corner. Long range models are hinting at arctic oscillation going negative by January's end. I will give more details on this as more refined data becomes available. Attached is a graph for arctic oscillation and a graphics showing how arctic oscillation works and a model showing the rain for Saturday.

Good News and Bad News

The good news is Thursday will be sunny the bad news the temperature will top at 36 °F. After Thursday the temperatures warm with rain chances for the next 5 days.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Update On Thunderstorm Potential

This is a current view at radar as of 2:50 P.M. The storm have weakened since lunch time and the heaviest rain and winds are now going north and south of us. The southern line is now doing what is called training which means the storms are lined up and crossing the same area over and over causing heavy rainfall totals in a short amount of time.

As we all awoke this morning we had already had some light showers. At the 8:50 A.M. time frame we had some moderate rain showers rolling through which have now lifted to the east toward Spring City. The possibility of off and on showers is going to stay with us for the rest today and most of next week. Tuesday night into Wednesday brings the chance for some heavier rain and just a slight chance for a clap of thunder. Attached is a look at radar as of 10:42 A.M. and a 10 day temperature out look.
