  1. 45 here this morning. Fortunately local restaurants and businesses are opening back up so that their employees can get back to work. I still have spotty cell phone issues, but otherwise progress is being made locally in cleaning up and repairs continue! Thankfully the weather has been cooperating.
  2. We have at least 6 fatalities in the Maggie are. My Lord the amount of damage from Campbell Creek and Jonathan Creek is just catastrophic. The amount of slides is just utterly heartbreaking. The first Chinook flew over a half hour ago.
  3. Finally have connectivity this morning. Hopefully more of the mountain folks begin checking in. It's going to be a while before this area sees anything near what was normal.
  4. Now this is worrisome. Stalled for 2 to 3 days and further inland than previously expected.
  5. I've really been hesitant to mention any potential impacts for our area due the lack of consistency in the models. Any shift further inland would likely increase our chances of rainfall. Very complicated setup with a deeper trough over the Great Lakes potentially dropping down and a slow moving tropical system meandering at the base of the trough. We should get a handle on the potential impacts or the lack there of within the next 24 to 36 hours.
  6. And it missed Western Haywood. Just like a NWFS!
  7. Looking like almost all of Haywood County is under the gun tonight. Expecting Severe Thunderstorms Warning within the hour.
  8. Mesoscale Discussion this morning for Kentucky and Tennessee talking about training thunderstorms and potential flash flooding issues today shifting E with a vigorous Vortex/disturbance. Something to watch for later today.
  9. Good thunderstorm finally. Frequent lightning, gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
  10. We got a break Friday and Saturday with no rain, so folks that packed Maggie Valley for Hillbilly Jam are happy. Looking showers and thunderstorms are on tap this afternoon. Only 33 days until September and Fall!
  11. We are definitely socked in with steady rain today. Rain starred around 3 AM and is still falling. Maybe a little dryer tomorrow for Hillbilly Woodstock!
  12. We had a light shower this evening that didn't amount to much. Town is filling up with attendees for Hillbilly Jam this afternoon. Hopefully the weather cooperates with the 20K expected this weekend!
  13. Showers starting early today. Skies look almost tropical out there.
  14. Nothing but a few sprinkles and thunder the past 3 days. Starting to see signs of some significant drought stress in the area. Grass is turning brown and crunchy around the Valley.
  15. What an amazing July 10th behind the front! My high today was 78F. Can we drop to the upper 50's tomorrow morning?
  16. Another nice shower today. Hopefully this keeps up throughout the week.
  17. Picked up an inch of rain this afternoon with light rain still coming down. Glorious!
  18. Low was 60 here this morning. Pinch me! Happy 4th to all of my Mountain folk neighbors!
  19. No rain so far today, but the actual cold front is lurking to the NW and could bring a thunderstorm or two tonight. Tomorrow looks glorious with highs in the low to mid 70's and lows Tuesday morning in the mid 50's.
  20. The rain today was welcomed as well as the cool temperatures. Looks like more rain to come throughout the weekend and a cool front arriving Sunday evening.
  21. 78 for the high in Maggie. Rode up to Mile High Campground this afternoon. It was 69 and visibility for late June was simply amazing!
  22. Feels awesome out there today with no humidity. Lows tomorrow morning could fall to near 50!
