Climate Outlook: Tennessee at 2C

- The NCA5 projections do give us some meaningful new information for Tennessee. We see some improvement in the outlook for the higher-elevation parts of the state, and we've got a clearer picture of the hot-season extension facing the west. This outlook contains details for Memphis, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Knoxville- but the sleeper hit is really the country in central Tennessee, outside of Murfreesboro. You all are looking nice.
Across the state, the main challenges emerging are a longer, hotter summer, and deluge type rain. Towards the end of the video, I recommend some destinations if you're looking to move. But if you want to stay in Tennessee, I think you've got a situation where resilience building is doable.
You can find the resources I use & donate at my website, www.americanresiliency.org. Both tabs are right on the top bar.

Here is the schedule for the remaining states. State level outlooks are released on Thursdays.
September: South Carolina, Kentucky, Rhode Island & Delaware, Mississippi
October: Missouri, Nevada, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas
November: Nebraska
This is exactly the sort of information I had been wanting to gather about my region, all in one nicely condensed video. Well done. Sort of confirms what I was expecting based on the general trends as we get closer to the edge of collapse. Subscribed.
@Perforator2000 glad you found it useful, and thanks for subscribing.
Some people are inclined to look out further than 2C, but with the tipping points we're already rattling, it seems improbable that the projections much further out will be sound. Might at well just try & get headed in the right direction.
Great report Dr.Emily. I have a friends in Northeastern Tennessee and its really good news for them and their sustainability..👍👍
@michaelschiessl8357 thank you! I was so happy to see the western spurs of the Appalachian chain looking stronger in these updated projections- beautiful country
As an Oklahoman, we are no strangers to 105. One thing that is important at those levels of heat is a backup source of A/C. Whether that's a window unit you run off a generator, or just knowing where the cooling stations will be opened during a heatwave.
That kind of heat without AC is not something you can tough out. It goes from uncomfortable to deadly faster than you can change your mind and get to safety.
The other thing to keep in mind are your elderly friends, family, and neighbors. Check on them. Like twice a week minimum. They are vulnerable and may become delirious to the point of not being able to get aid, or just not realize how rough they look, which is an indication something is about to give out if they don't find relief from the heat ASAP.
Have a plan. Make sure your friends and family know your plan and you know theirs. Then check on each other face to face. A phone call isn't good enough.
Just want to second your point that a phone call isn't enough. A person who is entering that vulnerable state, you can get a much better assessment face to face than on the phone.
Now that is great advice, Mr Beans!! It may be helpful to have a hybrid automobile too. As I understand, you can run the AC on the battery and the vehicle will crank itself to recharge after draining. Not a permanent solution but an emergency survival mechanism
@@couerleroi1 some of the newer models can power a lot of the home. On the Discord we heard from a community member who has a newer EV and used it to power their home through a blackout- impressive results. I just grabbed the first link I saw that describes some of these newer model EVs, very appealing feature: www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/powering-your-house-with-an-ev-during-an-outage
Thank you from Chattanooga, TN!
@cynthiathomas126 thanks for your help with the script!
Thanks for the detailed outlook Emily! I was hopeful that we might be moving towards a Plant Hardiness zone shift of 9 with 2 C but it sounds from your analysis that we're likelier to stay within a 5 degree range here in Murfreesboro. Is that right?
This summer I realized there is a connection between very hot days and terrible air quality because of ozone. Also, extremely wet springs followed by very dry summers can create conditions for mold indoors, which further impacts air quality. Although when it comes to snowfall we have a recognition for the need to close schools, it does not seem like here we have the same respect for high temp days. I wish our institutions would adapt better and faster!
@pdube9340 current school schedules are such a weird holdover from another time. Not all of the schools in my area even have air conditioning (though they are getting it). They have needed to close the schools quite a few days for heat the past few years. It all is a solid example of how we are bound by these old systems that don't really work for today.
I would be cautious about putting in any plants that need a much milder winter than you currently have at your location- you are correct that it's looking like just a 5 degree lift in winter lows. When thinking about winter change, it's also worth considering that if we continue to see the gulf stream destabilize, we'll likely keep getting those polar vortexes. I think it's probable we'll see winters being much milder on a typical day, but with sudden hard freezes. Annoying!
Thank you for getting close to NW GA. One of the best tasting freeze dried meals is beef stroganoff from Mt House. I use them hiking but they also sell up to a years worth of meals.
Good luck to everyone
@Atheistbatman lot of potential strength in that part of GA.
Time to get WEIRD!
