Weather for Chattanooga, TN

[Mr. Rainman]

Well, since I go to school here in Chattanooga, I might as well track the local weather conditions here in the city. It's September 22nd, and the city is currently suffering one of the hottest Septembers on record. For the last several days, records have been smashed wide open, and forecasted temperatures have been in the triple digits. To make things worse, no rain has fallen anywhere for the last several days (until yesterday, when a measly 7 hundredths of an inch fell). Currently it is 71 here, mostly cloudy, calm, and the barometer is rising through the roof. 30.18 and still going up.

Couple of thunderstorms popping up around the Chattanooga area, but none making a direct impact on the city. Sigh...at least the temperature has fallen quite a bit...

[Mr. Rainman]

Very cloudy and very moist. Not much more rain expected tonight, but that could change tomorrow. My hometown in SC, however, is getting HAMMERED with rain.

[Mr. Rainman]

70 degrees and partly cloudy here in Chattanooga. Forecasts call for temperatures in the lower 90s with no rain in sight. There is a small chance of a storm on Tuesday.

It's supposed to get into the lower 80s tomorrow, and then thunder quite a bit into Wednesday.

I have been to Chattanooga several times when there have been thunderstorms and I think thunder, for some reason, sounds even louder in Chattanooga than it does in most locations. I think it's because it echos off the mountains.
