AVL looks better to me every year. Short winters, the chance of a biggie, and long warm summers. Average annual min since 2000 of 9F for a solid 7B growing zone. They haven't even gotten below 20F there in 2 of the last 3 winters.
Pleasantly warm over the interior at noon with full sun. I'll cut Scoot some slack since it looks a little cooler along the shore down there with a little cirrus thrown in as well.
I'm bored of the pattern and all of the heavy rain. I'm in favor of the change-up with numerous fronts in the extended. I'm not looking forward to cold season, but an early/mid September climo pattern would be great.
