Comments Below: 2
As expected, we had our first good soaking in a while. There is plenty of rain yet to fall.
Here is a list of the “higher” totals from yesterday through 7am this morning.
Etowah, TN: 2.61”
Blue Springs, TN: 2.26”
Ooltewah, TN: 2.16”
Blue Ridge, GA: 2.06”
Cleveland, TN: 1.93”
Red Bank, TN: 1.85”
Monteagle, TN: 1.73”
Pikeville, TN: 1.69”
Ellijay, GA: 1.50”
Altamont, TN: 1.30”
Hixson, TN: 1.22”
Ringgold, GA: 1.05”
Murphy, NC: 1.01”
Signal Mtn, TN: .70”
Chattanooga Airport (official reading): .38”. A surprise here.
For the rest of today, look for scat’d showers, mainly this morning. Highs in the low 80s. A pop up shower or storm this afternoon.
I look for a large area of storms to move in sometime tomorrow morning with another round of heavy rain. ANOTHER round of heavy rain possible Friday before tapering off later Friday afternoon.
An additional 2-3” of rain possible by Friday night. The National Weather Service continues to monitor the flooding possibilities. No watches or warnings yet, but some could be issued tomorrow, or as early as tonight.
Below is a look at the 5-day rain totals. Still very impressive:
See you soon,
Brian

Rain and the Fall Colors
Year to Year, the weather can affect the colors in our area. Here is a quote from the U.S. Department of Natural Resources.
"The amount of moisture in the soil also affects autumn colors. Like the weather, soil moisture varies greatly from year to year. The countless combinations of these two highly variable factors assure that no two autumns can be exactly alike. A late spring, or a severe summer drought, can delay the onset of fall color by a few weeks. A warm period during fall will also lower the intensity of autumn colors. A warm wet spring, favorable summer weather, and warm sunny fall days with cool nights should produce the most brilliant autumn colors."
