While fishing in East Tennessee the weather will either frustrate or fascinate you.
The Tennessee Valley has what amounts to the reverse of mountain effect weather, as systems move across the Cumberland Plateau the bottom drops out, so to speak, when the weather hits the Valley proper. This relative high pressure in the valley floor can cause weather fronts to stall, rain to stop, or more insidiously , cause wall to wall rain to transform to isolated showers.
This is particularly relevant as many spring days that blossom into trophy days, initial look dreary and messy and hopeless.
If you plan to get the most out of fishing East Tennessee you will need to predict your own weather.
For this purpose I have provided the following link:
I find that with a combination of the "looped radar" and the "looped satellite imagery" I can not only predict the weather with starting accuracy, more importantly I can find "holes in the weather" to fish around storms.
Additionally in the early spring and fall, when overnight temperatures are relevant, I find that looking at the "star gazer" from intellicast is a big plus. The Areas which over night have the best star gazing , will necessarily have the least overnight cloud cover, subsequently producing the greatest over night temperature drop.
