  1. I've been here a long time and we've regularly dealt with tropical storm systems. Helene is and hopefully will always be the outlier. I can think back to Bill, Frances, Ivan, Arlene, Dennis, Fred, etc, and never do I remember waking up to such flooding and devastation before the system makes landfall in the Gulf. That's the one image that will always stand out to me with Helene, is the sheer amount of flooding we were already dealing with. Just an unfathomable set of circumstances.
  2. It's September 4th, who's kicking off the new thread?
  3. Looks like we might be in for a brief taste of fall. https://www.facebook.com/share/1FD9w4ijqg/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  4. Definitely. Woke up to a hellacious storm in Henderson this morning.
  5. Pretty weird seeing the Southern Escarpment so dry.
  6. Lucky you, we got an entire truck load of Starlink delivered to us holler folk back during Helene. We get to be a thorn in your arse well into night.
  7. The NAM just came in juicier than previous runs, for WNC.
  8. Great place! Spent many a night at Peg Leg Petes and McGuire's
  9. Don, I have a special place in my heart for the Gulf Coast. I was stationed at NAS Pensacola, and spent some time at the NCBC Gulfport and New Orleans. Great people, great region! I could not be happier for you folks.
  10. What was the result of the balloon sounding? I’ve been waiting to hear.
  11. I may be mistaken, but I don't believe that's the LOW we're tracking. I believe that is the same surface low that showed up on the 12z NAM yesterday and was chalked up to a reflection of the northern stream wave.
  12. That upper graphic is wild. There are 8 different QPF gradients in Henderson and Transylvania Counties.
  13. Yea, I would say upsloping over the Black Mountains would be the plausible answer.
  14. I'd kill for a Cedar Swamp, 12" of fresh powder and some sticky buns.
  15. Exactly what I was about to say but in all fairness, they likely have the toughest forecasting region East of the Mississippi hence why they're habitually thorough.
  16. I think you can extend that eastern heavy snow boundary all the way to the escarpment but overall a good sign. The latest ICON run looked good for WNC as well.
