The models are suggesting that moisture returns mid week and could continue into the weekend. It appears a frontal boundary stalls nearby and further enhance the potential for heavy rainfall amounts. Temps look to be near normal to end out August for the Mountains. Daylight continues to dwindle as Fall is quickly approaching.
Nice cool morning in the Valley. I had a low of 61 at the house and a nice breeze out of the NW. I see Mount Mitchell had a low in the 40's. Tomorrow morning we may make a run at the upper 40's here!
Looks like an early taste of Fall will arrive this weekend extending into early next. My point and click forecast is showing low to mid 50's for morning lows!
I got the property cleaned up and ready for our guests arriving tomorrow afternoon in the Short term rental. The sound of chain saws nearby all day and the neighbors above cutting down trees. I believe that's was the worst storm since Fred 5 years ago for our part of the Mountains.
I have a mess to clean up tomorrow with the large limbs and branches down, but I never lost power. Crazy lightning/thunder still ongoing, but the worst is over here
Big time severe storm just hit. Lots of damaging wind gusts exceeding 50 mph. Lot of large limbs down all around the house and I heard and felt trees coming down above the house.
No rain today here at the house, but chances look better tomorrow. I'm starting to see signs of the Eastern trough becoming active again through the end of Meteorological Summer. Fronts and lower dew points are looking pretty good to end the Month.
My streak of days of rain was broken today at 13. A storm did fire S of me late this afternoon. And I have a new wrinkle here at the house. Bears! Hit the trash container right next to the house last night and they have been around the last week or so with cubs.
