    26 here this morning. On a personal note, my longtime mentor and friend Dr. Neil Frank is nearing the end of an extremely impactfull life particularly in the Weather World. His lovely wife Velma is in hospice care and Neil has joined her in hospice care. Neil and Velma have openly shared their faith in Christ and Neil still holds as the longest serving Director of the National Hurricane Center. I'm praying for a peaceful and painless passing for these two Saints!

    I just hit 60 for the first time in a month! It feels great too!

    I had a low of 26 this morning and a high of 54 this afternoon. It looks like wet weather arrives Thursday afternoon into the evening hours with a cold front. The models indicate we will have highs in the mid 50's and lows in the 30's this weekend heading into Christmas Eve. I'm enjoying a break from the cold temperatures frankly. It's certainly not a so called torch that the drama queens have been wringing their hands over!

    I had a low of 12 this morning.
  5. Maggie Valley Steve
    My temperature is down to 19 and the winds are gusty. Point and click say 12 for my low in the morning which is up from 8 early this morning. Cataloochee is reporting 11 currently.

    I'm surprised that we don't have much of any wind currently in the Valley. Under a bright cloudless sky and a temperature of 29, it doesn't feel bad at all out there right now.
  7. Maggie Valley Steve
    Temperature is down to 30. Wind is picking up and the ground is wet. No snow here so far.

    I managed to hit 49 today. Tomorrow should be a bit warmer making my warmest day so far this December! Snow returns Saturday night into Sunday as the Arctic front arrives with very gusty winds and windchill real feel temperatures in the -10 to -15 range and actual low temperature of 8 degrees Monday morning. The coldest I've had was back on November 11th with a 7 reading when the last Polar Vortex lobe hit our Region.

    I apparently had a bit of very light snow overnight. I suppose it's officially a trace, but I'm still surprised this far south.
  10. Maggie Valley Steve
    Looking like we actually have a true clipper system heading our way overnight. I expect Buckethead will report an inch or two overnight. Perhaps flurries here in Haywood County overnight. The fast flow continues into the coming weekend!
  11. Maggie Valley Steve
    I managed a trace of snow. Haywood County schools are on a 2 hour delay today.
  12. Maggie Valley Steve
    I'm getting sleet mixed with rain currently.
  13. Maggie Valley Steve
    Currently 30. I had a trace. Keep adding to those seasonal totals!

    Finally getting snow in the Valley from the squalls. Nothing showing up on radar, but it's snowing.
  15. Maggie Valley Steve
    I drove up to Soco Gap (4300 ft) at the Haywood/Jackson County line at the Parkway. Snow squalls are dropping enough snow to cover 19 at times above 3800 ft, but our DOT is standing by with salt and plows.
  16. Maggie Valley Steve
    Temperature is dropping and winds out the NW are increasing currently. Cataloochee has light snow falling as well. I can see off my front porch snow showers are moving in from the Cataloochee Mountains, so in an hour or so, we could see light snow in the Valley.
  17. Maggie Valley Steve
    Should get a break the next couple of hours as the cold front arrives and upslope snow begins. Temperature has risen to 35 now and the fog is only a couple of hundred feet above the Valley floor.
  18. Maggie Valley Steve
    Just woke up and walked the dogs. 34 with a rain/snow mix. Cataloochee is snowing and 31. Edit to add: I have all light snow now
  19. Maggie Valley Steve
    Like last evening, temperature is falling quickly but I do have a bit of breeze this evening. My high was 49 today and have dropped to 38 under clear skies. Hunter in his afternoon post on X stated that this is a two part system. The first coming early tomorrow morning and lasting to around 10 AM. The second part of this system should arrive after 3 PM and he believes this one will drop 2 to 3 inches across the Smokies and Balsams. He stated it should wrap up before daybreak Tuesday morning.

    The 12Z GFS solution is coming in with a nice hit.
  21. Maggie Valley Steve
    The 12Z 3km NAM suggests 2 to 3 inches here in the Valley. Even Asheville gets snow! That models continues to suggest a good 24+ hours of light snow in Haywood County. Is it enough for GSP to expand the WWA this afternoon?
  22. Maggie Valley Steve
    No freezing fog at the house this morning. It's currently 25 which is my low. Snow makers are busy up at Cataloochee and Tube World here in town. I'm not expecting much from the system coming in overnight into tomorrow. Late this week we are likely to get the coldest air of the season as lobes of Arctic air heads our way. It's too soon to know if we will have precipitation arriving with the Arctic front.
  23. Maggie Valley Steve
    Currently 30 with frost.
  24. Maggie Valley Steve
    Anyway, skies have cleared and the temperature has dropped 5F the past hour. Currently 37 at 5 o'clock.
  25. Maggie Valley Steve
    Maggie Valleys average is 8 to 10 inches a year. I've surpassed for the last 6 years and already well on the way to surpass the average again this winter. We need a big synoptic storm Region wide to calm the Mountain envy!
