The magic of cold air damming: Three days ago, Asheville's low temp was 71 degrees, which tied a record for the warmest low temp for 7/31. Yesterday, Asheville's high temp was 71 degrees, which set a new record for the coolest high temp for 8/2.
Went up to Roan mountain yesterday for the first time. Hiked up to the Bluff and walked around Carvers Gap. The destruction up there was unbelievable. I couldn't imagine the sustained winds up there being 100 plus mph. It's beautiful up there and rained on and off all day.
Been in Johnson City since Wednesday. The storms that rolled through here last night and Thursday night were some serious storms. High winds, torrential rainfall and lots of lightning.
