Fall 2019

she got several winters to try and make up...

Naw I wouldn’t say that.  Been pretty lucky here in West TN except for last year and even then we still scored 2 snows.  Don’t think there has been a year since 2012 except for last year that we weren’t out of school for 5-14 days for snow.

And to be honest, after about 3-4 days of snow I’ve had enough.

We started the month with historic and all-time record highs and Idaho is about to end the month with the coldest it has ever been in October.

Yuck. I hate extremes like that.

Areas down here in southwestern middle Tennessee from Hardin up through Decatur and so on absolutely got rocked by the winds Saturday. I had numerous people referring to it as a hurricane. That actually got on my last nerve. What would be the meteorological explanation for the event. Mainly referring to what some are referring to what looked like an eye wall on radar. Is it similar to what was referred to as the Memphis hurricane Elvis event?

Another apocalyptic autumn in Northern California. The smoke from the Kincade fire has blown in twice and several wildfires occurred in East Bay that were visible from here. The economic impact of cutting the power to over 2 million people is pretty staggering. Unlike the previous blackout, I think they made the right call as fires popped up everywhere on Sunday morning. The peak recorded wind gust was 102 mph in Sonoma County near the Kincade fire. A huge swath of Sonoma County remains under mandatory evacuation - all the way to the Pacific! The Tubbs Fire burned the same area of Santa Rosa and killed 22 people in 2017. The smoke in SF hasn't been as bad as during the Camp Fire (it was truly horrible), but everything is yellow and strange.

This twitter is a good scroll back to Saturday morning to catalog an extreme firestorm/wind event.  https://twitter.com/Weather_West

I miss some humidity!

A remnant tropical system interacting with a cold front.  Similar to what happened with Ike but in a much more narrow zone.

It’s looking like the area could see our first widespread freeze multiple mornings from Friday through the weekend.

Gonna be close to seeing a few snow flakes at the tail end of the rain late Thursday. Updated high of 44 Thursday with temperatures falling. 29 Thursday night.

Is it just me or are temps and clear skies underperforming the last few days? Seemed low 70's and sunshine were modeled over the weekend. Surprised it's been a slow crawl to 60. Hopefully a sign of things to come down the road.

Agreed.  We actually had some brief light drizzle today around lunchtime.

Curious: what’s the record for latest first freeze in Nashville?

Nashville - November 27, 2009 (ended up with a cold and snowy January and February)

Memphis- December 1, 1931( blow torch winter)

You won’t have to worry about approaching those dates in either city this year. Generally, a late freeze is usually not a good sign for the upcoming winter.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Same thing again with today's forecast. Makes me wonder about how clear it will actually get Thursday night into Friday.

I was about to post this. Probably closest thing to an actual hurricane west Tennessee will ever see. In my opinion it’s not getting the press it deserves. There are 1000s still without power.
