Mountains might be aiding in some sunshine though, the warmest locations in the CWA are all in the rain/cloud shadows downwind of the peaks.

Seems like its hard to mix winds down in an environment that's not conducive to winds mixing down.

Since we lack the pressure gradient common to our winter storms, it's also no surprise Camp Creek has been calm all day.

If you are wondering where the winds are, so are we!!
The flag outside the office at 1120 am ET is hardly fluttering.

Long before internet, the US Weather Bureau placed kiosks across the country to disseminate weather information.

Today, only one kiosk remains, and it's in Knoxville at the corner of Clinch and Market Streets.

Between the tornado sirens, "chatty cathy" aka the weather radio, and a personal meteorologist texting home, my parents were well warned about this tornado in the middle of the night.

Despite the weekend rainfall, Chattanooga and Knoxville are still at the driest start to a year since 2007. For the Tri-Cities, 2026 is the driest start to a year since 2016.

@BigNastyWeather Spotted this fella today...

@amburr_nicold Cruel flashbacks to it not wanting to work for me at RAC 😂😭.

[Nathan Wellington @AstrometeorWx]

I meant to re-measure right at the 6 hourly mark, but I procrastinated. Current additional snow is another 1.625" so total would be 6.25"...sticking the ruler into the untouched snow further out got me a depth of 5". 🌨️ brief bouts of larger flakes. @NWSMorristown

4.6" of fluff at 8 am this morning, cold, ice crystals had a few dendrites but a lot of the snowflakes were tiny. Some needles. .@NWSMorristown

The deforestation of my parents' front yard continues. Lost another 1.5 trees (mom insists they were dead) last night. No power still. Interestingly they're pointing south.@NWSNashville

.@NWSStateCollege Trace of snow with light snow still falling this morning covering the elevated patio and furniture. Roughly 1 mile west of Goldsboro/Etters PA. Like the geese I heard, time to head south.

[Nathan Wellington @AstrometeorWx]

After a long dry spell the weather really is gonna try to rain on my parade next week. Wow.

[NWS Morristown @NWSMorristown]

We're starting to see a return of rain chances this weekend, mainly in the mountains. By mid next week, these chances rise to 30% to 50% across the whole area. There is currently no risk for severe weather in our area for the foreseeable future.

Lots of cirrus clouds = brilliant sunset as seen from our front lawn. Fortunately we have the two least camera proficient forecasters on shift right now. 😅

[Nathan Wellington @AstrometeorWx]

Horrible weather outside today. Only a few cumuli floating around

[NWS Morristown @NWSMorristown]

⛰️Mt. LeConte reached a low of 38°F this morning.

That's the coldest August 27th morning since we started tracking observations at Mt. LeConte in 1988 and the first time in the "30s" since May.

[Nathan Wellington @AstrometeorWx]

Its gonna turn cold 😭

[NWS Morristown @NWSMorristown]

Cooler, pleasant, and dry conditions for much of the week. Fall-like conditions.

[Nathan Wellington @AstrometeorWx]

@hankd_wx Congrats Hank!
