Blowing Rock got slammed last night. We had a mudslide out behind the mall took down quite a few trees and dumped a boatload of mud up against the building. ABC store flooded and Twigs might have taken some flooding as well (not positive). 

Side note: found this site recently. I may be behind the 8-ball and it's already well known around here but www.weatherfront.com is a newer model/radar site. I quite like it. Currently free as they are working on their Android rollout, already out on Iphone.

Meant to pop on yesterday but we bottomed out at 52º. Super spectacular way to end July.

I took down the funnel cloud picture because a lot of people are saying it AI so we will see.

It looks fake. Not saying there wasn't a funnel (there almost definitely was), but I doubt it looked like that.

Saw a photo of what appeared to be a lowered mesocyclone from a drone shot in Asheville but hard to tell for sure not great quality.

Geez that cell near Bucket head is wrapped up.

Aight one day of heat back and I'm already over it. Bring on fall/winter. 

Heading to the North Wilkesboro races this weekend and the trucks are at 12:30 on Saturday afternoon. 

My station made it to 90.5 this afternoon. As far as I can remember that's the first time I've ever recorded a high above 90 here at the house. Yesterday was 89.3.

We managed to hit 42.1º this morning. Much cooler than I expected. The station right below me directly on the river hit 40.3º. Wild. 

I was hiking up at Grayson Highlands yesterday and it was in the mid-40s all evening. Definitely an odd, but very nice day out for early June.

Only dropped to 35.6º last night. My wife's raised bed vegetables are thankful.

Low of 31.6º this morning. Been enjoying the cool temps. Looks like finally some legitimate rain this weekend- we need some or spring flower season is going to suck. 

0.06" overnight- bottomed out at 37º this morning. Saw some reports of flurries around but never saw any myself here at the house. 

I managed a grand total of 0.01" overnight last night. Just enough to make the truck look even worse dirty.

Hard to argue with how this winter went, although I certainly would've liked to have seen more than 5" at a time. I ended the year with right at 20", pretty solid and right on average. I've seen plenty of below-average winters since moving up here so an average year is a win for me.

That absolutely gorgeous December snow also gives a boost.

Just rolled into Daytona, heading down for the (hopeful) Artemis launch tomorrow. I always, and I mean every single time, forget how miserable the humidity is once you get south of the NC line. Brutal.

We must've gotten under a nice band overnight because I went to bed at 1/2" and woke up to a solid 3". Very nice surprise!

Starting to cover the grass here in Blowing Rock now. Took forever to switch over but hammering now.

Webcams show switch to snow in Boone. Still rain here in Blowing Rock but I suspect for not much longer

Huge temp crash in Blowing Rock, down 10 degrees in the last 12 minutes.

The temperature trace in Franklin since 2AM is really something. From 55 to 35.

Wind absolutely howling this evening. Fun 24 hours ahead no doubt.

Got a couple confirmed reports of snow in the North Georgia mountains even around Suches. 

Been coming down hard in Blowing Rock since about 10. Good dusting on the grass now and WINDY. Sounds like a jet on our roof at times.

18z 3km NAM was on board with the light icing across the NW mountains on Monday. 0z running now. Shouldn't be anything significant but a little glaze along the escarpment possible. Big difference to the beautiful weather today.

GSP mentioned in their afternoon AFD of a potential for a wintry mix Monday and Tuesday for the higher elevations.

18z GFS is a pretty widespread CAD event. Definitely an interesting pattern with the wedge in place.
