Hey guys. I'm not on the boards much except for the chatter on snow and hurricanes, so I'll be monitoring things now that the tropics are heating up, but it has definitely been a nice break from the heat the last few days. I was on vacation in Maine last week, and I get home and it's actually cooler than several days I had up there. I was hoping to get under the 50 degree mark on the thermometer the other night. Came close. This is why I moved here permanently!

Under a Severe T-storm watch. Wonder if the storms can get going any further south than they currently are up towards KY. I just flew home from Japan and am glad I beat this mess yesterday and today.

Mountain Point Forecast for Beech says: .MONDAY NIGHT...Mostly cloudy until midnight, then becoming partly cloudy. Patchy fog. Lows in the lower 20s. Northwest winds 25 to 30 mph, increasing to 30 to 35 mph after midnight. Gusts up to 49 mph. .TUESDAY...Mostly sunny. Highs in the lower 30s. Northwest winds 25 to 30 mph, decreasing to around 15 mph in the afternoon. Gusts up to 46 mph. Wind chill values in the lower teens That's pretty chilly and breezy

I'm driving back home all day tomorrow, so I hope I can get home before the heavier rain comes. We need it though.

I had to come down to Camp Lejeune for work yesterday and was quickly reminded why I had to move away from here. Im from ENC and have hated the heat and humidity from the day I popped out.

How much you thinking?

This is only my assumption and I do not know for sure, but most TV stations are owned by larger media corporations. I would think that if stations are in different markets, but are under one corporation, they would likely have the same marketing/weather/formats, etc.

With all the downed trees, I'm worried about it.

I wish I knew how high the winds got up to last night up here. There was a major fire on some slope side condos here at Beech. I think it was a lightning strike. Totally destroyed, but thank goodness it was contained and no injuries. Power went out around 4 am or so I'm guessing and was still off when I left this morning at 10am. Lots of trees down. Wild stuff.

MS and AL might be blown completely off the map

That thing looks like a 3 year old's crayon artwork. Lot's going on this week.

Yuck

Snowin and blowin up here. Love it.

I hope so. I'm at the top of Beech and would love several inches up here, although I do have to go to Mountain City tomorrow, I will hopefully be home before NWF gets going so Im not caught out in it.

For snow purposes, I wish we could start it in May/June lol!
