Grandfather had some patches of color above the parkway and roan mountain had the lower end of moderate color higher up. Definitely still has a ways to go to get real picture worthy. I will be making a few more trips as I can
-
It doesn't have to be peak to be beautiful as this pic shows. Sometimes I like the patchwork even better depending on the scene. Either way I am sure I will be making a second trip after tomorrow as well.
-
Thank you. I am trying to determine if it is worth stopping by the Grandfather Mountain area this weekend.
-
How are the leaves looking? It should be moving pretty quick now with this weather.
-
Hahaha that is for sure. The NC High Country should see a rapid acceleration of color into this weekend when I am going up for my first look down here. I expect an early peak in our mountains as well.
-
I have to look and see how often it has snowed at the end of September at the summits.
-
COVID restrictions in the Northeast prevented me from visiting for this. Thank you for the shots though. It looks like fall will be early weatherwise here as well and I am hoping the NC High Country puts on a show soon after delayed and dull foliage the previous two years. There are already signs it could go early. Some of the summits exceed 6K feet here so a wide variety of climate zones.
-
Yeah the last two years were pretty bad so hopefully this is a good one.
-
How is the foliage looking in the mountains? Any sign it is going early this year?
-
We definitely busted low in Raleigh but I expected that.
-
This is sure to cause some confusion for those following 22
-
This is definitely not needed.

Some shots of the big outer rain band that approached Raleigh around 5:30pm on 8/3:
-
yes!
-
That looks amazing!
-
We had one downpour on this side of Raleigh yesterday and that was it. The models were backing off earlier this week but yeah another bust.
-
How are the Rhododendrons looking at the higher elevations? Is it too late?

Yes indeed. My altitude was 100-200ft AGL in these.
-
There were a few mini supercells in southern Wake yesterday and of course one prompted a tornado warning. I got a few aerials as these rotated through:
-
Very cool. Thank you for sharing. Looks like mostly rime up there with the dusting of snow.
-
I unfortunately didn't make it out to Carvers Gap as I am needed at work today. The radar didn't look all that impressive overnight but I am sure they got something.
-
That is our plan as well. Hope to see you there.
-
Any cams showing snow yet?
-
Yeah it will be a heck of a trip with no sleep but might be worth catching one of the latest snows on record in NC.
