Hi All, September 2024 is a month we won't be forgetting any time soon. We started off continuing a very dry pattern with Extreme Drought (D3) expanding in Middle Tennessee until receiving some relief from Hurricane Francine. Extreme Drought peaked for this area in the September 10th release of the US Drought Monitor (USDM), while expansion of D3 continued through the September 24th release of the USDM. September 24th was also when a tornado formed in Hancock County - the first September tornado on record in East Tennessee. The biggest story of the month was Hurricane Helene and its many impacts, specifically in Northeast Tennessee. We sent this last week, but feel free to check out our Helene storymap: https://bit.ly/TN_MesonetStory Additional information is provided in the attached September Monthly Climate Summary and we've attached a detailed precipitation infographic of the event. ETSU has also done a video series related to Helene that you can check out here: https://www.etsu.edu/response/appalachia-after-helene.php We're looking at a continued dry pattern so there could be some drought expansion through the end of October. While drought conditions have muted some of our fall colors, many areas are beginning to show some nice colors and that should continue for the next several weeks. Have a great rest of the month everyone!

Hi All, Attached is the October monthly climate summary. It was both warmer and drier than normal across most of the state. Without some rainfall on Halloween, it likely would have been the driest October on record for many locations. Farmers, especially in southern Middle Tennessee, continued to suffer from severe and extreme drought conditions that started back in June. The weather station at the Nashville International Airport, with data from 1940 through today, had its 4th longest dry streak, with 26 days in a row without precipitation from September 30 – October 25, 2024. Daily high temperature records were set between October 6 and 14, followed by a strong cold front that sent temperatures tumbling, producing frosts around the state and even snow for the highest mountains in East Tennessee. The cold air set daily low temperature records and record cool high temperatures from October 15 to 17. A few days later warm sunny skies and southerly winds brought record heat back to the state from October 23 to 31. After devastating impacts from Helene in late September, it was a very quiet month as far as severe storms go. Dry and warm conditions have continued into November but it seems we are now moving into a cooler pattern and hopefully we'll start seeing more rain soon. Happy early Thanksgiving everyone!

A radar study of two Alberta hailstorms has revealed the existence of small cellular radar echoes with durations of 10-30 minutes. These cells were found to group together to form storm families which existed for several hours. New cells invariably formed on the southern end of the storm family and migrated northward through the storm to dissipate on the northern boundary. [...]
