Current, forecast & severe weather coverage for East TN, Southwest VA, and Western NC.
The latest 0z model runs suggest the greatest (low but non-zero) tornado threat is now across the plateau with mostly strong to severe storms elsewhere. The trouble is really coming in with the fact that morning rain possibly won’t clear fast enough for the development of storms. In that case, this will be a mostly […]

Two rounds of storms could affect our area Thursday afternoon, then again Thursday night. Round 1: Cells should develop in our lower ETN counties (similar to May 6th) and travel east by 12-2 PM, developing a possible broken cell line as they move towards SWVA and upper ETN. CAPE values of 1,500-2,000+ look possible by […]

This isn’t going to be the normal loose funny update in regards to events that took place today in Texas. It is sad, it is pathetic, and regardless of your political views, politicians need to get off their asses and give up some power to prevent this. It won’t ever be stopped, but it can […]

Highs Tuesday will be in the upper-70s / lower-80s across the area with dewpoints in the lower/mid-60s (yuk). Shower development is possible along the NC/TN border and generally south of I-40 around the afternoon before making a jump north for everyone’s enjoyment. SWVA could be saved though; hard to forecast summer storms. LCLs aren’t impressive […]

Starting off tomorrow, we will see shower development (or leftovers) move in from Kentucky, but we will be pretty capped at that time with slight instability, so it […]

Record high temperatures are expected across the Tri-cities Friday. The forecast highs are expected to reach near or over 90 degrees which could easily break the record set back in 1962 of 89 degrees. Now, this might sound like the armpit of hell, and you’re totally right. BUT, we will have isolated storms in the […]

If you like severe weather, be prepared for a letdown. The SPC is still holding onto the Marginal (1/5) for severe weather across NETN and SWVA. The latest model runs of the NAM show a supportive atmosphere with ~1000 J/Kg of CAPE with supporting winds with height – but with a weak CAP in place […]

First things first, we try to keep it family-friendly around here. Anyways, morning convection Wednesday has the potential to strengthen as they move into a more destabilized atmosphere throughout the day. Mid-day CAPE values of ~500-800 J/Kg with higher amounts of ~1,000 J/Kg. While that’s relatively low but can still support development, they can also […]

First things first: will everyone see a severe storm? Put simply… no. The environment will be supportive for storms to develop and […]
