14° on Nov. 16, 1933, the coldest reading for this week of the year since 1916. Next is 15° in 1969.
Weber City’s center stands about 1,370 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 1,220 ft to 2,470 ft, a difference of 1,250 ft: steep hill country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Big Knob, about 3,160 ft, 4 miles northeast.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Greenbrier Limestone, from the Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old.
The section below crosses 15 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 12×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Shale. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Dolostone, limestone. Age: Cambrian to Ordovician, 445 to 542 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Shale. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Shale. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Dolostone. Age: Ordovician, 445 to 487 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Carboniferous, 324 to 359 million years old. About 2 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale. 9 smaller units along the line are not listed.

A raindrop that lands in Weber City reaches the Gulf of America by way of Big Moccasin Creek, the North Fork Holston, the Holston, the Tennessee, the Ohio and the Mississippi: about 1,810 river miles.
Lakes on the way: Guntersville Lake, White Lake (historical), Pickwick Lake and Cummings Lake.
970 miles of the trip are on the Mississippi.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Weber City; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Weber City has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 87° in July; winter nights fall to about 27° in January. A normal year brings about 5 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 45 inches of water.
On November 14 Weber City normally reaches 60° and falls to 36°. The record high is 82°, in 1993; the record low 16°, in 1986. The most rain on this date, 1.05 in, fell in 1947.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1916 at Kingsport, 7 miles south-southeast. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
