WPC updated....

Mount Washington recorded a new record low of -47.1 breaking the old record from 1963 of -32. Prior to last night our historical -34 degree temperature in January 1987 when the stratosphere reached Mount Mitchell had them beat.

GSP AFD: THERE IS A PRECIP-TYPE WRINKLE AT THE HIGHEST ELEVATIONS THAT DEVELOPS BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON, PERHAPS THE RESULT OF DYNAMIC COOLING, WHEREBY A NEARLY ISOTHERMAL LAYER IS SEEN ON FCST SOUNDINGS ABOVE 5000 FEET OR SO. IT WOULDN'T TAKE MUCH TO BRING THE SNOW LEVEL DOWN TO WHERE WE COULD SEE A CHANGEOVER TO A HEAVY WET SNOW ABOVE 5K FEET. SUSPECT IT WILL BE SNOW AT THE SUMMIT OF MT MITCHELL BY THE END OF THE DAYTIME PERIOD. ELSEWHERE, THE EXTENSIVE CLOUDS, PRECIP, AND COOL AIR MASS WILL KEEP HIGH TEMPS IN THE MID/UPPER 40S.

I would be interested in doing that sometime. I am always looking for new access points to trailheads for the the Appalachian Trail without trespassing on someone else's private land. The OnX OffRoad app does a good job of showing who owns which land. I have never visited the bald in your area. I would bring along my Garmin Montana
