Beautiful!

Flip it and reverse it, as Missy Elliott would say. Anyways, Forecast models have considerably backed off the idea of a decent soaking rain this weekend, with some now suggesting we may see nothing at all. However, most still keep some light rain in the forecast for Sunday morning. Rainfall totals have dropped to a quarter of an inch or less, with amounts decreasing the farther north you go. That's good news for Halloween weekend plans, but not so great for our worsening dry conditions. Our next chance for rain may not come until late next week, and with drought conditions developing and rainfall deficits continuing to grow, we could really use a good soaking.

Nothing spooky in the forecast for the next 4 days, but that could change as we head into the weekend. Models are having a hard time figuring out exactly when our next batch of rain moves in. Some bring it in Saturday afternoon, while others hold off until Sunday morning, which currently looks the most likely. Either way, it should be a good soaking rain.

I need to vent. I'm so sick of people hyping up this super El Niño like it's going to bring the snow apocalypse 3000. The first half of winter looks like a womp womp, second half might have better snow odds based on climate history, but holy cow it's driving me insane. I get the weather is boring right now and these YouTubers needs clicks for money but please find something else for a day 😩

HALLOWEEN: For the most part it will be nice with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Low chance of rain but it doesn't appear to affect the trick or treat activities. With it being 6 days away, this could change a little.

Good question! PLEASE know this before we start talking about snow. Northern Valley (Purple) is the Tri-Cities, Central (Pink) is around Knoxville, and Southern (Blue?) is around Chattanooga. It's easier to group areas instead of naming them individually.

The Christmas Tree goes up...

The story for the foreseeable future will be above normal temperatures as we go into November. Parts of the southern valley and maybe even the central valley will flirt with the 80s this week. I would get used to this for at least the first half of winter.
