53 and rain in Blowing Rock. Absolutely loving this.

HRRR/NAM both look excellent for most of us with 2-3" of soaking rain. Winds don't look terrible either which is very nice.

Yes, please.

I'm rooting for the gfs with this coastal system. It handled the dissipation of Francine much better than the Euro so here's hoping it keeps it's streak going.

Finally getting a little rain.

This might be the earliest I've seen the amount of color we have in the trees. Need some rain or this is going to be a quick, sad leaf season.

Spent last week down in Myrtle. Nice to come back to a low of 45 this morning.

Hard to beat those beach sunsets though.

48/65 today. Can't ask for much better than that.

Yesterday and today were both 10/10 for mid-August. Today almost felt fall like, especially this morning. Absolutely fantastic.

Next 7 days looks overall quite nice. High elevations could see upper-40s by middle of next week maybe.

If you guys ever want a respite from the heat and humidity you need to head to the PNW coast in Summer.  Currently in Newport, Oregon and it’s stunning weather at sun and 64 degrees.  Only downside is when the wind cranks up in the afternoons, otherwise it’s spectacular and the views are hard to beat.  Looks like to me if the ocean ran up against the Blue Ridge, lots of the views looking inland at the Coast Range remind me of home.

Got blanked yesterday at the house but managed 2 tenths today. Big totals keep missing us.

Blowing Rock has been racking up though with torrential downpours at the store the last couple of days.

Did a little better this morning at 57.5. Looks like the heat is back though, unfortunately.

Only made it to 59 here but fantastic for July. Way better than what my family down in GA is dealing with lol

Well, it rained. Not even enough to register 0.01" on my gauge but raindrops nonetheless.

Finally got about a half inch of rainfall from this morning. 

Hopefully we get some rain, I'm only at 0.58" for the month.

49/66 for us. Keep this rolling all summer and I'll be a happy camper.

Models completely missing these storms coming across the border. Even the 0z HRRR doesn't have them which is impressively bad initialization.

Looks loud for the next bit if they don't fall apart.

Driving down 40 between Asheville and Old Fort this afternoon was not fun. Ran into quite a bit of pea to dime size hail and strong winds with zero visibility coming down the hill.

Saw several cars that had hydroplaned coming through a downpour in Asheville too.

I don't think the weather gets much better than today.

Looks toasty next week.

32.0 yesterday and 30.9 today. Loving this weather.

It said before 3pm today, but the night crew removed it. Now it just says rain and 39 today.

Over an inch of rain with this cell so far in the past couple hours.

Air temp dropped from 55 to 39 in half an hour earlier today. Saw some snow mix in with the rain this afternoon in Blowing Rock, looks like the Parkway saw some heavy stuff up around the Viaduct and up.

3.5" since midnight so far. Local streams were rocking when I got off work. Had some straight up mini tropical depressions rolling through this afternoon.

Definitely not helping the 105 mess they're trying to clean up.

I rented a telephoto lens and dealt with some serious light rings/abberation which sucked. Still managed some solid pics out of it and it was an absolutely amazing experience. So much better than 2017 if nothing else due to the length. At 4m 8s of totality I really had time to enjoy it.

These were all taken from Herrin, Illinois. I hope to have a time lapse video together soon as well.
