Incredible video of the wind in yesterday’s storm in W. Knoxville along Pellissippi near Lovell Rd. The NWS will be out this am to survey this area along with an area near Loudon County H.S. We’ll let you know their findings as soon as we hear back.

Example of how daytime heating can break the "cap" in the atmosphere (cap is a warm layer of air which limits vertical cloud development). It is like a soda bottle. You can shake it all you want with the top on, but you know what happens when you take that top off

There is NO excuse for bullying. It MUST STOP NOW! I am SO proud of you Keaton for telling your story. It NEEDS to be heard. It would be an honor to be your friend give you a tour of the station sometime.

I need someone to connect me with this child's family, please. I've been told he is from Knoxville.
Mr. Lewan is against bullying and willing to provide his services as a bodyguard.

Celebrating a very special day with my best friend. 25 years of marriage today and many more than we can count to come...❤️
How it started.... How it’s going.....
This is mind boggling if it verifies. It would mean the majority (if not all) of Sanibel and Captiva Islands could be "completely submerged" by storm surge. This would be catastrophic...

I’m off work today so we can celebrate the special occasion of our son’s High School graduation. I hope everyone has a great

and I’ll be back Tuesday.
We completed the living room flooring now! Just a little more caulking to do in the dining room and move furniture back in to both and we’re done with this DIY project! We’re happy how it turned out 👍
Wow…certainly surprised and honored to be nominated for an

Meet the newest member of the Weathers family. He’s an 8yr old rescued Pug named Stan...
He’s a good boy and is quite happy regardless of his expression 😉🐶

Graduation was fantastic as was the weather (whew!). So proud of the fine young man our son is becoming. Congratulations to all of the recent graduates. It’s certainly been a challenge the past few years and these kids have definitely navigated through it with courage and grace.
I’ll be off this week celebrating the 28th anniversary with my best friend.
The weather looks quiet thankfully, but the rest of the Storm Team had you covered.
See you next week!
I'm looking out for people's lives that are at a ball game away from home. Additional cells could develop & move towards Sanford stadium this evening. I will never apologize for real, valuable information & will continue to provide updates for people that follow me on Twitter.
A beautiful and chilly start at Mt. LeConte (

It is 7° and they received 11” of snow overnight/this morning.

Happy 23rd Anniversary to my wonderful wife...
You are more than I could have asked for and certainly more than what I deserve. I am looking forward to the rest of forever with you.❤️
Had a GREAT vacation with the family in Destin, Florida. A frequent “destination” when I was young, but it’s been 5 years since my family had been. It won’t be that long next time. Weather was PERFECT & I’m ready to go back to work! I’ll see you tomorrow starting at 5pm on

Welp, guess we’ll have to sign him up for the Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) now!
Stan the Man’s TV debut is complete.
I’m thinking he’ll be demanding more TV time now.
What do y’all think? 🐶😎☀️

Our forecast

totals weren't too far off, but I'll be the FIRST to admit I was wrong on the "impacts" it would cause. Should've taken the past days of Arctic chill more into account. We'll learn from this & do better next time. See you at 11pm on

So proud of our

YES there could be a “light” rain/snow mix Tuesday but we don’t need to cause shortages in bread/milk/toilet paper.
You can help stop the spread of “social media misinformation” (SMM). ✋🛑

So sorry to hear this. I knew and worked with Bob for many years. He loved the East Tennessee Mountains, weather, his friends and had a soft spot for animals.
Former Knoxville meteorologist Bob Becker has passed away. His family says a memorial service will be held at a later date and in lieu of flowers, the family has asked for a donation to be made to Rawlings Funeral Home in Sevierville.

I'm trying my best to decide which forecast model has the best handle on this weekend's rain chances. They're acting like 4 siblings, stuck in the back seat of your non-air conditioned car, 22 hours into your cross-country summer vacation and you're entering Arizona
