Alpine Weather & Climate

Northeastern Tennessee has four distinct seasons with cold winters and hot summers. Spring and autumn can be varied and unpredictable with thunderstorms and strong winds. The general patterns of weather, however, are most affected by topography; the higher mountain regions tend to have milder summers and colder, more blustery winters. The mountainous eastern region is one of the wettest parts of the state. Most of the precipitation occurs in winter and early spring due to more frequent passage of large-scale, frontal storm systems over the region. A secondary maximum of precipitation occurs in midsummer with lots of shower and thunderstorm activity. Due to the relatively mild winter conditions, snow cover rarely stays on for more than a few days. Severe storms are relatively infrequent in the state.
