What's the weather like in your neck of the woods?

[TripleDigitRide]

I'm more than a little bummed because the forecast has put a halt to the Mid-Tenn TGO Motorcycle Ride that was scheduled for today.

I know they're calling for some rough weather, but as I look out my window at this moment, it looks beautiful out there. Any of you to the west / southwest seeing any bad weather yet?

Grounds wet here.

Knoxville/Tri-Cities, TN

8:25 am EDT, Sat., Apr. 24, 2010

... A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE PLAINS WILL GENERATE A LARGE AREA OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY THIS MORNING. THESE STORMS WILL MOVE EAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY LATER TODAY... AND INTENSIFY WITH THE HEATING OF THE DAY. AN OUTBREAK OF SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED BY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... WITH NUMEROUS SUPERCELL STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY. THESE SUPERCELLS WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF VERY LARGE HAIL (AROUND THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL)... DAMAGING WINDS (IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH)... AND ISOLATED TORNADOES (WITH SOME POSSIBLY STRONG AND LONG-LIVED). IN ADDITION... SOME STORMS WILL PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AROUND TWO INCHES... WHICH COULD CREATE FLOODING IN SOME AREAS.

RESIDENTS OF EAST TENNESSEE... SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST NORTH CAROLINA ARE URGED TO STAY INFORMED OF THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION TODAY.

More like southeast, but there's really nothing here either. Got some light rain early on, but that's about it.

[Guest jackdm3]

Somebody cracked the sky over Memphis. Gotta watch the ceiling over my entertainment center until the Memphis meet. Was gonna farm tomorrow in Hernando. Dunno about that now.

[Guest jackdm3]

No luck for me today. The tarp blew off the affected area. Let's now say that I don't have to take a shower this morning. The rest of TN is gonna get what we don't use.

Do outdoor ranges shutdown in electrical storms?

It got pretty nasty here this morning.

[Il Duce]

rained a little here in soddy this morning. i hope its gone by tomorrow

[Volzfan]

Nothing here in S Nashville just overcast skies. I just looked at the radar and it's coming this way from the SW. Sorry that it has canceled the ride.

[Guest coldblackwind]

getting a bit damp, flashy, and rumbly here now.

[oldogy]

A bit of a shower in Monroe Co early this am. Most of the morning was beautiful. It is clouding up now at 11:30 and the big black dog is telling me there is a storm in the distance. I know, you asked about west TN.

Gorgeously sunny now.

[TripleDigitRide]

Just heard the first claps of thunder in the distance.

[Guest db99wj]

The weather guys have been on non-stop for the last few hours. We had bad stuff move through overnight, some scattered stuff currently, another line moving in around lunch time.

Please don't get struck by lightening

[Guest jackdm3]

Love you, too!

[TripleDigitRide]

Huge thunder and lightning. Tons of rain. Power outage.

[mikegideon]

You folks in the east might wanna roll your windows up.

[Oh Shoot]

Just settling in here, widespread rain and so far moderate thunder, pockets of real nasty stuff on radar here and there not too far away.

It nuked shooting at Norris today, will try tomorrow which looks mainly windy.

Wet in Clarksville

[Guest walkingdeadman]

It was a little funky this morning and we just tried to get out for lunch at 1:30 and it got buckwild out there.

[Guest proudsuthrner]

its finally starting to clear up some here in dickson but i have a feeling it wont last the rest of the night

[gregintenn]

Everything here is covered with a clear, wet liquid.

[Guest Jamie]

It's clear for the moment, but there was some lightning and thunder earlier, with a bit of wind and some rain... nothing too bad. Certainly not as bad as Nashville or Memphis seems to have gotten.

All in all, a pretty mild storm, all things considered. Didn't even interfere with the TV watching. ( Watched a couple of westerns on AMC. )

Of course, having said that, I expect to get blown clean off the map some time this evening, just for spite....

Weather radar doesn't look too good for Waverly to Clarksville. Tornado warning. It's blowing a bit downtown Clarksville, already.
