Per GSP's discussion this morning, it looks to continue: .SYNOPSIS... A cool wedge of high pressure will linger across the region today, but will break down ahead of an approaching cold front that will cross the area Wednesday. Drier weather is forecast behind the front until late in the weekend. Outlook: Scattered convection is expected Wed afternoon, as a cold front crosses the region from the northwest. Improving/drying conditions are expected for the latter part of the work week, while a another cold air damming event may set up for next weekend.

This weekend is looking very pleasant (a little wet) with temps not getting out of the 70's.

Last night came a gully washer in Brevard.

Yea, it's really hard to complain right now. Very mild for a typical mountain August. I remember last year this time thinking the humidity was insufferable.

It feels really nice! Breezy and crisp like fall.

Looks like we'll get our first taste of fall early next week. Some areas in WNC might not get out of the upper 60's!

My son starts football this week and it got me thinking about how fall is right around the corner. I noticed the CPC 4 days ago put out a discussion stating their belief that we're headed toward ENSO-neutral through fall and winter. So for the sake of breaking up the silence, what is everyone projecting for fall heading into winter here in the mountains? https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.shtml

He'll be doing in the French Broad because that's where the Davidson will take him.

No you won't. LOL! I can guarantee you it will be a washout.

Finally looks some needed rain headed our way. *Needed being the key word. You can shut off the spigot as soon as it's done.

So if this happens for KAVL, then our 2 largest snows on the year will have fallen in Spring (after the vernal equinox) and Fall (before winter solstice). That shows just how fickle our weather is.

2nd week of April is looking good for warm weather.

Hunnerd year flud? We're heading straight for the Old Testament, gather the goats and load the boat if this keeps up.

I'm looking forward to summer. The rain gets warmer.
