I was surprised that the chances of rain weren't higher this week. Tremendous humidity levels with dewpoints over 80º in some parts of middle TN with temps in the mid 90ºs. I knew there had to be some instability in the atmosphere. Sure enough, a severe thunderstorm watch was issued and the fireworks began. It wasn't as nearly as oppressive on the mountain, with temps 'only' in the mid 80ºs with a nice breeze.
Here are photos of the rotating storm cell, a very brief tornado that came out of the wall cloud, the beautiful aftermath of the storm, and the foggy placid following morning.
No, the view isn't getting old.
