I'm on the Olympic Peninsula and everything I read yesterday said it was going to rain today. All the rain. So much rain. Nothing but rain. I planned accordingly. Was gonna lay in "bed" and read all day.

Not so much as a drop.

#EastTennessee does not have a #ContinentalClimate primarily due to its geographical features and proximity to the Gulf Coast.

The region has a humid subtropical climate, characterized by warm, humid summers and mild winters, rather than the extreme temperature variations seen in continental climates.

The #Appalachian Mountains create a "#RainShadow" effect, contributing to significant precipitation variability across the region.

@peltast there wasn't much wind, but that rain was coming down hard.

Here's a phenomenon I'd not seen before, a #rainshadow where you can clearly see the angle of the rain in the ellipse made by it blasting away debris it ripped from the nearby ivy.
