Baxter Tennessee Weather Information

Well back home

2008-04-21T20:35:00.002-05:00

After 4 days out of town. But I'm leaving for Chicago on Sunday. - I decided to add local gas prices for Cookeville, TN to the site, thanks to Gas Buddy. The price has gotten so high any info is good info.

Well my internet is back up.

2008-04-17T22:53:00.002-05:00

Been down for 2 days - I has an appiontment with Charter to come out today - The tech cancelled the appointment with no notice - said I had signal to my modem. Well I agree - but I was a network admin at one time - I had signal but no DCHP connect. Well after 6 people and 2 hours thay say they will be here Tuesday the 22nd. Well you ask how I'm posting this?? and how my weather station is back on line? - well 2 hours after I got off the phone with them it magically came back on. The whole spill they go through with unplug, reboot and all that - well guess what - I NEVER TOUCHED A THING HERE! No reboots - no recycling the modem - not a thing. They kept saying it was on my end - well guess what Charter - IT WASN'T ON MY END! When it went down I did the trick of ipconfig /release and got it to release - well when I used ipconfig /renew - it wouldn't - which means no DCHP signal coming in from the cable connection. I guess after raising enough h3ll with them and threating to cancel thay decided to work on it from their end. I got one thing to say - Hey Charter - I ain't that stupid. And I won't cancel the appointment on Tursday. Let them make up for not showing up today.

If anyone has any sugestions for another ISP here - let me know - BTW - I use VOIP and no phone line here.

Rain, Sleet & Snow!

2008-04-14T15:57:00.002-05:00

Well I got home in time to see rain. sleet and snow today! It covered the mulch on the ground but I couldn't get any good pictures. We also have chances for more this evening and frost warnings for the AM. Here it is the middle of April and Mother Nature is giving us the cold shoulder! Let's hope for a rapid return to warm weather.

Spring has Sprung - well sort of!

2008-04-13T14:58:00.001-05:00

Well it's nice to be home!

2008-03-28T15:06:00.002-05:00

Got in about 11pm last night - It was snow and grapple in Chicago when I left and then rain down to KY. So it was an adventeriuos drive! It looks like nothing big in the weather for the next few days. I'm actually heading to the mountians with the wife tomorrow. I'll see if I can keep up!

Greeting From Chicago!

Rains `a coming

2008-03-18T06:43:00.002-05:00

Well we should see rain, and it may start today and end Wednsday night. We need the rain so this is good. We may also see some thunderstorms. Some of these may be severe so be sure to keep an eye out. We could get 1" to 2" of rain with this round of storms. The forecast is located here.

Monday will be nice

2008-03-17T05:41:00.002-05:00

We may have some storms Tuesday Night into Wensday. Here's the forecast.

Tornado pummels downtown Atlanta

2008-03-15T13:31:00.000-05:00

Meteorologist Mike Griesinger at the National Weather Service in Peachtree City said Saturday morning that is was indeed a tornado that hit downtown.

"Hard to argue with that," he said.

The tornado may have seemed to strike Atlanta with no warning, but that's not true. The weather service issued a tornado warning about 12 minutes before the twister touched down in the city, Griesinger said.

"There was a warning," he said.

He said 12 minutes is about an average amount of time for a tornado warning. The warnings are sent out to local TV stations, weather radios, emergency management offices and cell phones programed to receive weather alerts. The TV stations typically air such warnings almost instantaneously, he said.

Rothfuse said more information will be released at a noon news conference at Station 4 on Edgewood Ave. Much of north Georgia, including metro Atlanta, is under a tornado watch until 7 p.m.

This morning's storm system came through with little power, Rothfuse said. "We got some hail in this system, but nothing big."

The NWS is now watching a storm system currently in north Mississippi. It should arrive in the metro area at about 3 p.m.

The storm hit fast and furious — and with little warning.

Downtown Baxter, TN Fire

2008-03-14T07:04:00.005-05:00

Downtown Baxter is on fire this AM. This started around 3am and there are reports of 3 stores on fire. I'll head that way and see if I can get some pictures in the daylight.

It's going to be nice the next few days

2008-03-11T14:10:00.001-05:00

Not much happening in the weather for now. Check out our latest forecast here!

Still snowing here

2008-03-08T10:36:00.002-06:00

Looks like we will end up with about 3". Roads don't appear too bad in front of my house but I haven't been out. The3 birds are flocking to my feeders. Right now it's 2.5" and still snowing. The blowing of the snow makes it harder to get a good measurement. Hey we finally got a decent snow! The sun will melt it quick due to the angle of the March sun so enjoy it while it last.

Well I said snow about 10pm earier today - and

2008-03-07T21:47:00.001-06:00

It's snowing here!

I'm going out on a limb

2008-03-07T18:32:00.001-06:00

And saying we will see at least 4" here - and may see up to 7" in places around here. I guess about 2pm tomorrow we will know for sure. Things are really looking good for us as the information that I've been seeing. I think the snowfall totals will be a little higher than the NWS is forecasting.

THUNDERSNOW!

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
315 PM CST FRI MAR 7 2008

.DISCUSSION...A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE MID
STATE THIS EVENING. BY NOON SATURDAY...SNOWFALL TOTALS ARE
EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 1-4 INCHES ALONG THE AL LINE...TO 4-6
INCHES ALONG THE KY LINE. THESE ARE SMOOTHED VALUES...CERTAINLY
THERE WILL BE POCKETS OF LIGHTER/HEAVIER SNOWFALL. SOME POCKETS OF
6+ INCHES ARE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE NORTHWEST COUNTIES.
CROSS SECTIONS INDICATE SOME POCKETS OF SIGNIFICANT DECREASING
THETA E WITH HEIGHT...POSSIBLY SUGGESTING CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL.
THIS IS CERTAINLY BELIEVABLE SINCE PARTS OF ARKANSAS ARE
EXPERIENCING THUNDER SNOW.

IN THE DETAILS...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED ALONG THE AL/GA
LINE. UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WAS OVER AR...MOVING TOWARD WEST TN
AND MS. AN ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS CENTERED OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST. CIRCULATION AROUND THE SURFACE LOW WAS HELPING PULL COLD
AIR DOWN INTO THE REGION. EARLIER TODAY...MID TN STARTED WITH A
BATCH OF MODERATE RAINFALL...FOLLOWED BY SOME PATCHES OF LIGHT
SNOW/SLEET. THE CLARKSVILLE AREA PICKED UP ABOUT ONE HALF INCH OF
SNOW...AND A FEW SLICK SPOTS WEER REPORTED. THESE PATCHES OF
PRECIP DID NOT PERSIST...BUT TEMPERATURES HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO
FALL WITH CLOUDY SKIES AND COLD ADVECTION.

THE TEMPERATURES WILL FALL BELOW FREEZING QUICKLY AS SNOW STARTS
SPREADING ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. SNOW HAD OCCURRED THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON ACROSS AR WITH UPPER LOW AND DEFORMATION ZONE. THESE
FEATURES WILL MOVE TO MID TN TONIGHT. SNOW WAS ALREADY MOVING INTO
WEST TN...AND SHOULD REACH THE TN RIVER BY 4 OR 5 PM. THE SNOW
WILL SPREAD TO BNA AREA AROUND 6 OR 7 PM...THEN TO CSV ABOUT 10
PM. ACCUMULATIONS HAVE BEEN ADJUSTED HERE AND THERE...BUT THE
OVERALL FORECAST HAS STAYED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS PREVIOUS
SHIFTS. LATEST GFS AND NAM CONTINUE TO SUPPORT WARNING CRITERIA
SNOWFALL...WITH THE NAM GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WITH ITS
PROJECTIONS. VARIOUS SNOW ACCUM TECHNIQUES SUCH AS THE GARCIA
METHOD STILL SUPPORT ABOUT 6 INCH MAX FOR SYNOPTIC SITUATION. AS
MENTIONED BEFORE...IN ADDITION TO ADVERTISED WIDESPREAD
ACCUMULATIONS...A FEW SPOTS MAY HAVE CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT LATE
THIS EVENING. THIS COULD MEAN A COUPLE OF SPOTS WITH 6-8
INCHES...BUT THESE WOULD BE THE EXTREME VALUES.

ALONG WITH SNOW TONIGHT...GUSTY NORTH WINDS WILL CAUSE THE FALLING
SNOW TO BLOW AROUND A BIT AND MAKE IT FEEL QUITE COLD. THE SNOW
SHOULD INITIALLY BE WET...BUT LATER TONIGHT SOME MINOR DRIFTING
MAY OCCUR.

BY 12Z SATURDAY...THE UPPER LOW WILL BE NEAR THE PLATEAU WITH
DEEP MOISTURE COVERING THE MID STATE. SNOW SHOWERS MAY GENERATE
ANOTHER INCH OR 2 OF ACCUMULATION BETWEEN 12Z-18Z. NOT MUCH MORE IS
EXPECTED AFTER THAT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD...PERHAPS NOT EVEN
INTO THE 30S MANY AREAS. ALSO...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE BRISK AT TIMES.

SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE QUITE COLD WITH LOW IN THE TEENS TO LOWER
20S AS A SURFACE RIDGE CROSSES MID TN. SUNDAY WILL BE A LITTLE
WARMER...BUT SOME CLOUDS AND LINGERING SNOW COVER SHOULD KEEP
TEMPS UNDER MOS GUIDANCE. A WEAK FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH SUNDAY
EVENING FOLLOWED BY HIGH PRESSURE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL CLIMB INTO THE 50S MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THEN INTO THE 60S
MIDWEEK. A COUPLE OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS COULD PRODUCE SOME PERIODS
OF CLOUDINESS AND RAIN CHANCES MID-LATE WEEK. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT WILL BRING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON
THURSDAY.

2008-03-07T09:05:00.003-06:00

Well I hope your ready for some S-N-O-W!!!!!! Rain will be moving out soon and winds will be picking up. I see us even seeing patches of blue sky today - then here it comes - Look for a mix by 6pm or so - and snow by 10pm or so - if the winds stay up, we could see near blizzard conditions. (heavy snow and high winds) for a while this evening. I'm going out on a limb and say we will see 4" to 6" of snow in our area with some folks seeing locally heaver amounts.

Well it's off to the store for me - gotta have the bread, milk, and BACON! And if you want to understand the bacon part visit Tennesseewx.com forums.

From NWS -Winter Storm Warning

2008-03-07T06:20:00.001-06:00

LOOK FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIXTURE THIS MORNING IN AREAS NORTHWEST OF
NASHVILLE, WHERE THE TEMPERATURES ARE COLDEST. AM NOT EXPECTING
SNOW TO ACTUALLY BEGIN ACCUMULATING UNTIL AFTER NIGHTFALL IN
MIDDLE TENNESSEE, AS TEMPERATURES EVEN IN OUR NORTHWEST WILL HOVER
JUST ABOVE FREEZING FOR MOST OF THE DAY. THE RAIN/SNOW LINE WILL
GRADUALLY PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD AS COLDER AIR FILTERS INTO THE MID
STATE DURING THE DAY. BY 00Z, THE 5400 METER 1000-500 MB THICKNESS
LINE WILL BE NEAR NASHVILLE. AND BY 06Z, BELIEVE ALL OF MIDDLE
TENNESSEE AND THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU WILL HAVE SWITCHED OVER TO
ALL SNOW.

OVERALL, AM FORECASTING A STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL (00Z THROUGH 18Z
SATURDAY) OF 2-4 INCHES AROUND CLARKSVILLE, 3-5 INCHES IN
NASHVILLE, 1-3 INCHES IN LAWRENCEBURG, AND 4-6 INCHES ACROSS THE
UPPER PLATEAU. AM THEREFORE UPGRADING THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THOSE LOCATIONS THAT ARE EXPECTING AT
LEAST 2-4 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION, WITH THE WATCH REMAINING IN
EFFECT FOR OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES

Huntsville is spreading the snow

2008-03-06T14:13:00.002-06:00

From the latest HUN HWO:

THE DURATION OF WINTRY PRECIPITATION AND THEREFORE EXPECTED AMOUNTS
ARE VERY DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM.
THE HEAVIEST SNOWBAND WILL SET UP WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE CENTRAL
TENNESSEE VALLEY...BUT CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING IN LIGHT
ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH THE HEAVIEST
ACCUMULATIONS OVER SOUTHERN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...ESPECIALLY ON THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU. IT IS STILL TOO EARLY TO BE SPECIFIC REGARDING
POTENTIAL SNOWFALL TOTALS.

It's funny Nashville Weather office hasn't updated since 4:17am. Usually we have a 11:00 am update and then also around 4:00pm.

Model runs are looking more favorable for us to get snow.

Here's the info from MWS (Memphis Weather Service) 1:30pm conf. call -

Conference Call just wrapped up...Much of the MEG CWA (about the NW 2/3) will go to Winter Storm Warnings with the afternoon Package. The exception is North Mississippi SE of Marks to New Albany to Corinth. Most of the area should see Rain Tonight...exception is NE AR and the Bootheel North of Jonesboro...where they are likely to stay snow most of the event. This area has best potential for 6"+...and possibly up to one foot. Further South into most of the rest of East AR and into Northwest TN...totals expected to be 4-8". Further Southeast of that...through NW Mississippi...SW TN and East Central AR...Memphis included...Totals of 3-5" expected at this time.

This could very well end up one of these 33 degree snow events...especially in the warmer Memphis metro area and the fact of the timing being early March...which limits accumulations some. Forecast doesn't have Memphis going below freezing until late evening. However...the expected rates should allow for accumulations, possibly even on roadways, much like Feb 10 2006. Should temperatures drop even further, and if convective snow becomes prevalent...accumulations could go higher...but its the best guess for now.

Southeast of the Warning area...there will be an advisory for 1-3" of snowfall Late Friday down as far South/Southeast as Oxford andTupelo.

Things are changing fast

2008-03-06T12:37:00.001-06:00

New snow map - The NWS Memphis is having a special conference at 1:30 this afternoon - closed to public, but I'll have the gist of it later - expect to see a change in the WSW areas - much bigger. Right now I'd say were in the dusting to 2" range - but the models have been trending more to the south east the last 24 hours. Tonights runs will give us a lot more information. I know it's warm outside right now, but I look for a changeover after dark Friday night. If the low moves a little farther east, we will see a good snow.

Well I thought this was interesting

2008-03-04T19:44:00.003-06:00

What do you think?

Funny thing - so far I've not seen the models in so much agreement - NAM, GFS, SREF, CMC, Euro, Navy, JMA... all = snow!
There is a tool from the NWS Storm Prediction Center - and running it shows that the possibily of exceding a WSW is very likely for Friday night into Saturday. Now we are still 4 days out - I'm sure the models will change as they have so far this year - but it's looking promising at this time.

Maybe our last shot for a snow this year. We just have to hope the cold falls in and the low takes the expected track.
