ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING SAID IN THIS BLOG POST AND OTHER POST BY ME, ARE SIMPLY MY OPINIONS, I'M NOT A PROFESSIONAL SCIENTIST OR METEOROLOGIST.  I'M JUST A SIMPLE REDNECK GIVING YOU MY OPINION AS I SEE IT.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT!!

Yes i said it!  All though I don't believe its the end of the world, but i do believe things are going to change from what we know as our weather pattern.   As you all know, i haven't really posted a blog lately  as i have been researching the different forecast models for the upcoming days and also this big event for Friday.  All of the planets will be aligned, which I and many government scientist believe that this alignment will cause a massive change in our climate and other weather conditions.  Do i have prove of this...NO...am i a scientist....NO, but i am a purty smart redneck.  :-)  I don't know what the future has in store for us, nor do I really care all that much.  But i do believe there are some climate changes coming...only Friday will tell.  So don't panic, we aren't gonna have a zombie Apocalypse or the world caving in around us and California dropping in the ocean...no...that i belive is all bullshit.  I just believe the alignment of the planets on Friday will cause a massive change in the worlds climate pattern and jetsream pattern as the magnetic fields around the earth might possibly shift just a little.  Like I said...only Friday will tell.

Ok, now that's out of the way, lets get to the forecast as i see it right now for the next week....

TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL, PLEASE ENJOY THIS LAST BEAUTIFUL DAY OF THE YEAR.  GET YOUR LAST MINUTE SHOPPING DONE, MAYBE EVEN TAKE A WALK IN THE WOODS WITH THE DOGS AND ENJOY OUR 60'S FOR THE LAST TIME TILL A FEW MONTHS FROM NOW.

THURSDAY

All i need to say for Thursday's forecast is  RAIN AND MORE RAIN.  A week ago the models were showing a possibility of the cold air getting here first but, as it turns out, this system is moving faster than the arctic air, and there for we are yet again on the rain and storms side of this system.  Expect the rain to start around 1 or 2am tomorrow morning with wind at around 13MPH, by the afternoon hours we might see some isolated storms with wind at around 25MPH with stronger gust possible.  A wind advisory has been put in affect for the TNN valley starting late tonight into the day tomorrow.  So please tie down all those snowman and reindeer in your front yard.  We don't want your Santa to end up down the road.  :-)  Temps will start out in the mid 50's tomorrow, and end up in the low 40's by 5pm.  Thursday night will be much much colder than tonight.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY

Friday and Saturdays forecast looks to be some what cloudy with some cold wind.  Highs will be in the mid 40's and low's in the mid 20's.  Please bundle up for that last minute shopping.

SUNDAY THROUGH CHRISTMAS DAY.

So far Sunday looks to be a little cloudy with some rain possible Sunday night.  Not quite sure yet, but i believe the rain will not get here till Monday   Everyone (local and national weather guys) are tracking a major winter storm heading our way.  We aren't quite sure of the timing and areas affected.  But as i see it, it looks to be a very wet Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, with a possibility of storms on Christmas. However, i did just read a blog post by one of our local guys, giving me just a little hope for a little snow on Christmas.  The picture below shows the snow cover for next Wednesday   Look at the line of snow just across the TN state line.  He said that he wants us to have a little hope for snow, that it is possible with this system, its all about timing.  And once the system for this Thursday gets out of the way, we will have a clearer picture for Christmas Day, so keep your fingers crossed for the white stuff. 

all the blue above is snow on the ground Wednesday after Christmas.

I know I've predicted snow, i know i said we would have it by now.  All early signs pointed to it happening.  But remember, our winter hasn't even began yet.  We will have snow, it won't be a snow drought like last year, and when we have it, my fear is that it will be a major event in our area.  I'm still researching the future and will give you updates as often as i can.  Don't worry kids, the snow will get here.  It's just taking a little longer than I and most of the weather professionals thought it would.

To sum things up...

Tomorrow is wet and windy, the next few days are really F*@#*#g cold, no more 60's this winter, and moisture in some form is possible for Christmas.

Redneck 7 Day update coming later today...

Stay tuned....
