Updated at 223 AM EDT Mon Jul 13 2026 - Scattered showers and storms continue today, lessening tomorrow. A Flood Watch remains in effect into this evening. - Though chances are very low, cannot rule out a strong gusty wind or two in any stronger thunderstorm. - More typical summer weather Wednesday onwards with near normal temperatures and only a low PM chance of scattered thunderstorms. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 223 AM EDT Mon Jul 13 2026 Most rain has either dissipated for the night or steadily weakened, though a few showers may linger or re- develop into the morning. Additional flooding early this morning is unlikely. HREF/REFS guidance has been consistently depicting a LPMM (a type of probability matching mean) bulls-eye of heavy rainfall from Maryville down through Polk County later today into this evening. Now, CAMs have not been nailing locations well the last couple of days, so spatial uncertainty is still quite high. My concern though is with our increasingly saturated grounds and one more day of scattered to numerous convection, it makes more sense to keep the Flood Watch around for 1 more day and see how the storms play out. Rather have the watch out and cancel later on then to cancel now only to have additional issues tomorrow. A couple days ago it was Cocke and Greene counties that saw significant flooding, then Knoxville had a round of urban flooding a few hours ago, and meanwhile other counties have seen flooding to a lesser extent. If the storms do set up over the southern counties, those counties have seen less rain the last few days than elsewhere. Contrast Monroe and McMinn counties to portions of Meigs, Loudon, on over to Blount and north. Flash flood guidance (aka the amount of rain needed in a certain amount of time to produce flash flooding) is quite low along the northern foothills and even Meigs (1 to 2 inches in 3 hours), but still quite high in Monroe and McMinn (2.5 to 3 inches needed in 3 hours). So, depending on where storms set up will determine how quick flooding can occur. Ultimately in this environment if it rains hard enough long enough then even the drier counties will flood. Because of this I have opted to extend the Flood Watch into this evening and see how it all plays out. The cutoff low responsible for our rainy misery the last couple of days won`t cross the Mississippi River heading west until Wednesday. But at least tomorrow it will be a little further away, and thus its influence over East Tennessee will be increasingly lesser. Still likely won`t be an entirely dry day, but any flood impacts would be incredibly isolated, if they occur at all. I would expect the bulk of the coverage to be south of Knoxville, and ideally any storms that do form north will have better storm motions. As we progress through the week upper heights build slightly and between that and the departure of the closed low and associated widespread cloud cover, we`ll see temperatures tick back upwards a tad. Not a heat wave, but it`ll certainly get us back into the regular hot and muggy period for this time of year. Since we`re maintaining a fairly moist airmass, there`ll be daily storm chances, primarily in the afternoon and early evening hours, as is fairly typical for summer. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1144 PM EDT Sun Jul 12 2026 Will see a mix of mainly VFR/MVFR overnight into Monday with showers around especially TYS and TRI. Thunder cannot be ruled out but probability looks too low to warrant inclusion for tonight into the morning hours. By afternoon, the chances for thunder will increase enough to include prob30 thunder groups at CHA and TYS, with thunder chances a bit lower at TRI. Shower and thunderstorm probabilities should be decreasing late in the period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
