3rd straight day it's rained here. I've had I've had over 2 inches of rainfall in 3 days. Had a high of 77 yesterday.  A low of 53 this morning and a current temp of 67.

No rain today, but we had a decent shower last evening for about 45 minutes. Our Poplar trees a starting to dump on September 22nd. That seems early to me.

Been jealous of the weather back home but finally feeling like fall out here in Billings the last few days, low 40’s this morning and can see my breath, feels great! Back to the 80’s for another week though, guess I should enjoy the sun and nice weather while I can!  How’s the color progression coming along?

We're getting a shower this evening in the Valley. It's looking like a wet period ahead the next several days. 

My neighbor just below us commented that we are having an early Fall. Her family have been in Maggie Valley for generations. She stated that this year reminds her of 10 years ago. 

To @WxKnurd 

I was in Sylva yesterday and Waynesville today. There is a spattering of color, bit we're still a couple of weeks away from peak at high Valley locations. I'll head up to Waterrock Knob in the next day or two and if I can some pictures to share.

What a yucky evening current.  Had a high of 76 but it's still 65 tonight and a bit humid.  The pattern is a toss up from about 4 days on out but looks interesting.

Yeah seems to be a bit early on color.  The leaf season should be good. Locally we haven't really had a real dry stretch yet and I don't think we will as Steve has alluded to.

Yeah, looking like a great fall foliage Season over there. Not looking good here due to an extended dry period (2 weeks) that just ended. Some color now but many just brown, dead leaves falling.
