99l needs to be payed close attention for this region over the next week.

Could get hung up in the area for sure. 12z GFS is concerning on that front.

Saw some reports the Sunburst Falls Bridge on 215 is gone. Don't know about the other arch bridges up there.

Worst of it has arrived here at the house. Been out of power for 3 hours. Boone had gusts to near 40 earlier which took down a bunch of trees. Still very breezy on this last band.

Hope you folks down south are staying safe tonight.

Hearing reports of it getting pretty bad in Avery County. They've been pummeled the last couple hours.

Twice today 3 separate warnings have been up to the Watauga line at the same time.

Just hit 4" since Sunday night. 1.4 so far today.

I'm curious why Blacksburg hasn't issued a FFW for Watauga/Ashe Counties at least. Their AFD calls for up to 6" and mentions flooding concerns but no watch. 

Also worth noting my station picked up a 1.79"/hr rate in the middle of that last batch at 6:13PM.  The dry rut that is now a full blown creek next to my house seems to agree.

Just passed 2" on the day.

If we get that we are going to see a lot of flooding here in the mountains.  This could be a historical event.

Tornado risk increasing too. Fun 48 hours ahead I'm afraid.

Getting us primed for what’s coming in the next 4-5 days. Lol

Might get pretty rough along the escarpment. GSP seems pretty worried about flooding. Last AFD was very concerning.

The joys of living in the mountains.  We do get some pretty strange weather from 1 mile to another especially with the likes of elevation. You going to stick around here?

Yeah for now. I switched jobs back in April but whenever a promotion comes down the line I'll most likely be moving quite a ways. Staying in the southeast region but could wind up anywhere. Got at least one more winter up here I hope, though. Excited to see what the baby thinks of snow when it comes.

Some surprise rainfall this morning with a little disturbance coming through. 

Weird night up here thanks to that thing. Barely any rain but temp stalled at 72 and been breezy with weird 1-2mb pressure swings.

Hey guys! Been a while since I posted and miss being in this subforum. Actually moved down to Monroe (SE of Charlotte) last week, so my 13 year run in the mountains is over. Can't wait to see what happens up there this winter, I'll have to live it through your guys' posts! (Self plug, come buy a Toyota from me lol)

At least you moved down in a fairly cool summer.

I wish I could afford a Tacoma but Toyota in general is a bit out of my budget. Ha.
Nice trucks though.

Already down to 59 degrees this evening.  What a beautiful evening. 

Managed 48 at the house this morning. Loving it for sure.

Not looking forward to the rain from our tropical friend.

Over 2" of rain today. Definitely making up for that relatively dry period in a big way now.

Made it below freezing last night. Wasn't expecting that. 31.8 at 6AM with heavy frost locally. 

Latest freeze I've personally seen since moving up here in 2015. 

Made it to 31.8 with heavy frost this morning. Latest freeze I've personally ever seen.

Had a little snow falling on the top of Big Bald about 45 minutes ago. It's a lot colder today than I expected. Currently 35.8.

Snowing on Beech as well per webcams.

This has been the year of 30s and rain.

The -NAO seems to be the most consistent in the spring.  Last year per Mountain Thread records; I think the last high elevation snow was on or about May 9.

Yep it came overnight on the 8th.

Looks like another NWF event Wed/Thu. Looks downright cold late week as well with lows back in the 20s. 

Seen quite a few lenticulars the last several days, including this one which might be the best stacked one I've ever seen.

What is that structure in the foothills, a mesolow? It keeps producing tornado warnings.
 

Yeah tried to post it but tapatalk wouldn't let me.

Better structure than some tropical storms from the past few years. That band on the NW side was intense.

Sun out with hail.

That might be a first.

Just getting settled back in at the house after our having our first baby. Little boy and everything went great. We were in the hospital for the duration of the worst of the cold. Was pouring snow on us walking in which was pretty cool for this weather geek.

We bottomed out at 13 at the house Friday morning after only reaching 32.7 on Thursday. Wound up with a nice dusting too after the late heavier showers.

Happy Easter everybody!

Starting to stick now that the sun's gone down. Smattering on the porch. High of 32.7 today, colder than any day since January just about.
