Haven't seen the sun in 3 days

Saw this on Saturday from the Ingles in Mills River looking back towards Edneyville. This is the Poplar Fire up on Green Mountain that is now up to nearly 500acres. Hopefully we'll get some rain this week.

Well this weekend is going to be absolutely raw. So far I've got a high of 58 and 54 this weekend with lows in the low to mid 30s...

Yep. Add to that 10-20 mph winds with higher gusts. Going to be downright chilly!

Nice! The big cool down this weekend looks to be legit.

Looks very nice. Wind chills shouldn't leave the 50's the entire weekend. Low temps, low DP's, cool breeze, can't wait!

I’m not well known around here, but I’ll do it tomorrow at noon if everyone’s ok with it…

Have at it! I am burning some sage trying to resolve my bad juju from last year.

It’s October 1st, who’s firing up the Fall/Winter thread? Can’t be me! 

WLOS tryin' to get the juices flowing around here.

Whatever happens don't let @BlueRidgeFolklore start it again LOL


 

You aren’t kidding! Need some different mojo this year!

Yep the coldest morning of the season! Had a low the same as WNC at 45. Dang it was a beautiful cool morning. 

Bout time to fire up the fall/winter thread!

The Euro was another step down.

I'm sure it will be in the 20s and windy for the opening of trout season in April

Yep! Didn’t have to deer hunt in my parka once this year but you can bet your sweet @$$ I’ll need it for Turkey season.

The realistic side of me knows this is in fantasy land on the GFS. The weenie in me can't stop looking anyway.

Colder back home for the highs than out here in the Colorado mountains this week! Was cold this morning at 20 degrees down in the “lower” 7000’ terrain but shot up to the 50’s and 60’s quick.  Hate I missed the first taste of winter l but the views out here while chasing elk were hard to beat. 

Sweet setup! Love the Kifaru bag. Which gaiters are you wearing?

Yeah we were roasting this time last year. What a difference a year makes 

Yep, I remember mid-70's and near 80's up until mid to late October. Seem to flip cool around the week of Halloween if I am remembering correctly.

Exactly. The Western Pacific continues to recurve Typhoons into the N Pacific for the foreseeable future. That typically spells model volatility. Lows in the upper 50's/low 60's with highs in the upper 70's isn't a 'heatwave' in my book. 

Agreed. Going to be a lot of waffling in the near future.

I do have my eyes on Fiona.

What a beautiful afternoon.  Temp is 69 light breeze, dryer air coming in. 40s here we come!

 I'm ready!

I am getting a jump on Meteorological Fall by a couple days. Figured we could spend the early part discussing the tropics and potential impacts here in the mountains.

Who's excited to track next week's ice storm? Haha!

 

I'm ready to track sunny and 75. Haha!

A track right over eastern NC would favor us big time. I was honestly shocked the run only dropped 7-10 inches here. A 970 low west of the OBX would be a mixed bag all the way to Burlington.

Yea, just a passing glance but it looked like it had little to no ensemble support on either model. Going to be an interesting few days.

That looks nearly if not identical to yesterdays WPC graphic…. Apparently they’ve seen nothing to change their mind 

My guess is that they believe the NW shift is inevitable. Webber has been hinting all day that there’s nothing to stop it and it’s more likely to happen than not. Going to be an interesting 48hrs, no doubt.

72hrs out. Let see what happens.

Im not ready to say it’s not ours yet, not at least with the Euro, Euro ensembles, NAM and GEFS in our camp. 

For real. I’m not worried about the CMC or Ukie with the big dogs in our corner.

Looks good for Eastern folks. They may be hates, but they deserve a good one LOL

Sorry, but I’m greedy
