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.

Naturally I am down in Georgia with snow up there for the third straight trip. Wife measured 3.5" on the board though, solid storm. Headed back up this afternoon hopefully roads are clearer.

I’m up in blowing rock and just had a nice burst of snow. Lasted about 10 mins been rain ever since

Well, I guess the HRRR was only mostly out to lunch. Sweet- it was the only model that even had that possible.

It is probably completely out to lunch, but the HRRR is very, very close to snow along the escarpment as the low moves through Sunday.

100% haha. My other half says that's too far from "things"... Alas, so ideally like within ~20-30 minutes of the general Boone/Blowing Rock or Asheville area.

 

Ha fair point. I'm not sure if Boone really qualifies as having "things" but the map does look pretty spot on for my area of the county at least.

Seven Devils would be a good option- I live in Foscoe just down from it and the upper end towards Hawks Nest does really, really well. The Tynecastle/Banner Elk area as a whole is pretty solid with a pretty big drop-off towards Valle Crucis to the north and Linville to the south. 

Obviously Beech is fantastic but the trek up and down can get annoying.
