Got some flurries in West Asheville

April is shaping up to be cooler than March was. But with the huge warm anomalies it's hard for the cold to even it out. It also causes flowering trees and shrubs to put out 2 to 3 weeks before average.

Looks to be another cold blast in about 11 days. More frost and cold in April, yay..

I hate this weather in April. More freezes are a guarantee as the wind dies down and all the fruit trees are blooming.

Pretty strong signal for cold and accumulating NWFS late next week. I could see higher elevations getting 2-4 easy.

Its cold more often that not the first Saturday in April for some reason (trout season). I have seen it as low as 16 that morning with snow on the ground.

Had frost the past 2 nights 30-32.

Kinda chilly here but not terrible. Pretty seasonal. Probably be frost tonight if the wind dies down.

1.82 in the gauge.

31 and light frost this am

Got down to 27.

Yuck

I think we might have to wait a few weeks after this weekend to see widespread 70s'-80 again.

Globals totally fluffed todays forecast

Still had some light frost this morning and 34. Huge temperature range coming today. Likely over 40 degree difference between the low and high.

28 this morning.

Got down to 32. Very little to no frost.

Dogwoods, maples, and lot of other are blooming here. It's amazing how the grass has went from brown to green and growing in days.

The new Euro model shows a really chilly late March. Lots of 20s in WNC.

Plants are really putting out now and will do so even more next week. Some things are going to get killed for sure. Hopefully peaches and apples aren't too far along in the upstate.

March is going to end up above average like almost every month does. There will be a couple brief cool spells with frost but it will be back in the 70s quickly. Next week will be mostly 60s and 70s after the brief cool shot Sunday and Monday. St Patrick's day could be 2 or 3 days and a bit cooler than this one but nothing too anomalous and certainly not a snowy look. Just your typical NW flow. We can talk about it all we want but there's really nothing remarkable about the next 2 or 3 weeks (or since January 2022) except some slight flooding risk. If the trough digs enough around St Patty's there could be some minor NW flow snow about 3K. The rest is Bradford pears, daffodils, and pollen season.

Basically all that means is 40s and 50s and lows in the 20s and 30s with a dry NW flow. Yay?

I will believe it when I see it.

Still have some light rain but we have picked up over an inch today.
