  1. The models suggest we move to a typical chance of daytime showers the next few days. It looks like the persistent Eastern trough lingers into Memorial Day.
  2. We're getting a loud message from GSP and the State regarding this heavy rain event. That's a good thing! I'm sure that a lot of folks get a little nervous when we have a heavy rainfall event forecast for our area.
  3. Yeah, I was coming in here to mention the possibility of multiple days of heavy rainfall chances. We're getting to that time of year for potential monsoonal gyre tropical development as well. The models are hinting of a weak system along the Northern Gulf Coast in the week ahead.
  4. Having a 15% Hatched for large hail is nothing to sneeze at for our Mountain folks. I'll be watching to see how things unfold for our neighbors in Eastern Tennessee in the afternoon. It's a good day to keep an eye on the weather.
  5. 38 this morning with clear skies at sunrise. Clouds have rolled in and showers are nearby associated with the cold core upper low.
  6. I woke up to 44 this morning and it's currently 57 at noon! What a beautiful day out there. We had a good turnout for the Spring ride of Thunder In the Smokies this weekend! Last weekend was huge for the SE National Mini Trucks for Maggie! It's good to see folks traveling again after Helene!
  7. We've had 3 showers with 2 that brought thunder across the Valley. Tomorrow looks even more active! Finished up putting down 90 bags of mulch this afternoon. Still need another 10 to 15 bags to complete that project before shifting to extensive pressure washing of decks.
  8. No rain here last night, but it looks like chances are increasing ahead of a cold front arriving Friday night.
  9. We had an hour+ of rumbles of thunder and gentle rain. What can be better!
  10. Towers are popping up across the Smokies and rain shafts are developing. Looking forward to all the rain we can get in this pattern. The green up is nearing 4500 ft now.
  11. Looking like an unsettled weather pattern is taking shape for the upcoming week. Chances of almost daily rain fall should finally reduce the wildfire threat across the Mountains.
  12. Just drove down to Waynesville and there's still some snow on the higher peaks this afternoon. Temperature is still in the upper 40’s currently. It's certainly going to be chilly tonight!
  13. We never got out of the mid 40’s today in the Valley.
  14. Currently snow showers at Hemphill Bald above Cataloochee.
  15. 54 here in the Valley with light rain. I measured 2.7 inches in the Guage.
  16. I'm so very thankful we received so much beneficial rain! Everything thing is quickly greening up and our wildfire worries are over! Back to wintertime this week. It's been a couple of years since we've had mid April chances of snow for the higher elevations.
  17. I had a high of 82 today. That's late June temperatures, but boy what a change is coming!
  18. What beautiful glorious day across the Smokies! Perfect temperature to be out side and clear blue Carolina Skies. I always enjoy when almost an inch of rain brings so much Greenup. I'm going to begin tackling one of the decks in preparation for restraining tomorrow. Hopefully the rain will hold off until late Thursday!
  19. After a nice Spring warmup, this is going to shock the system.
  20. It was great hearing thunder rumbling and heavy showers this morning! We had off and on showers most of the day yesterday and more rain coming today ahead and along the cold front. Looks like additional rainfall Wednesday into Thursday too. I've been enjoying this transition to Spring, but it sure looks like another shot of winter is ahead for next week.
  21. 6 months ago today our Region was experiencing what is likely the most widespread Major Weather Events in generations from Helene. Currently we continue to live with the aftermath of that Historic Event with wildfires burning across our Mountains. Hopefully our very dry and dangerous wildfire conditions will relax next week with a chance of some beneficial rainfall. I hope all of our neighbors are doing well!
  22. I ended up with a half inch of measurable snow, but it took about 4 hours to finally begin to stick. My low was 24 this morning. It's beginning to look like an active pattern with a rather vigorous Eastern Trough persisting into early April. The impact the the stratospheric Polar Vortex collapse in early March is being felt.
  23. Ground is covered to the Valley floor. I'll call it moderate snow with very little wind.
  24. It's starting to lay on the decks and vegetation. Temperature down to 34 now.
