Met1985 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yep this was very evident today. We started out at 51 degrees this morning and the cloud cover was very thick. Looked and felt a lot like late October. The temp dropped all day steadily until we are currently sitting at 38 degrees. Good call. Also it pretty much rained here all last night with big thunder also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 What a great day today. Temps falling during the day, always makes me feel good! Good sleeping weather tonight! And birds are 5 and 0!! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wedge tried to erode last night...probably going to cause it to feel even more raw today with temps starting low and precip moving in. Most of western NC looks to be above freezing by at least 5 degrees in the cold spots. Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Charleston WV 558 am EDT Monday Oct 8 2012 Near term /through tonight/... models in fairly good agreement with disturbance moving across the region today. However...there will be a rain/no rain line across the area...making exact placement a bit of a challenge. Models indicate that elevations above 3500 feet could see some snow today. Snowshoe has been cold enough leading up to this event...that a very small accumulation is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nchighcountrywx Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Will today bring the first snowflakes of the fall season to the NC High Country in Avery County? It's somewhat possible.

MountainMarvel Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The photo below was made on Friday afternoon below Grandfather Mountain at Linn Cove Viaduct. It comes from the Asheville "Leaf Peeping" site. The peak viewing from Craggy Gardens to Blowing Rock along the Parkway should be from Friday to next Wednesday. Don't miss it!

WilkesboroDude Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Will today bring the first snowflakes of the fall season to the NC High Country in Avery County? It's somewhat possible. Beech Mountain has fallen back to 32.1 degress and Grandfather is at 32.9. NWS Blacksburg It is also worth noting...that the freezing level this morning is above 9000 feet. Despite it being chilly and thoughts of snow falling crosses your mind...temperatures will remain warm enough to keep all precipitation as liquid.

POWERSTROKE Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 First time snow mentioned in the forecast discussion this season... NWS Blacksburg There is some minor concern for S- in the higher elevations of our WV mountains...noting that rlx has included S- across Pocahontas County. 850mb temperatures do drop into the -2c range sun across this region...but current thinking is that the depth of the cold air will not be sufficient to support ice Crystal growth to any extent. Thus...have not included any mention of S- at this point. If you follow wxsouth (Robert) you will see that this was no surprise. He mentioned this last week way before any others. He has proven this year he is the best in the south east. He predicted tornados in Alabama when Span said there wouldn't be any, He predicted severe weather a couple of weeks ago and DT said he would be wrong. Once again he was right and DT was wrong.

sctvman Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 67 here but we're pretty much the warmest in SC. Most of SC in the 50s or low 60s. Amazing middle of the daytime in early October in Greensboro that there's 45 degree temperatures but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Just a cold raw day in Weaverville. Never made it to 49° & most of the day it was in the mid 40s. It felt like late Nov. instead of early Oct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Getting hammered with rain here in the east, had to have had 2-3" since say 3 this afternoon and its still coming down. Flood advisory now out as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solak Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 A chilly, raw, breezy day here in Clayton, and a pleasant surprise of .78" in the gauge today, and some bonus thunder to boot. Hovered between 48 and 50 all day. The recent rains in these recent events would have been really welcomed back in July and August, when the measurements were in the trace and hundredths. It'll make the yearly total look better, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wow today was like an early winter day all day. Low clouds and drizzle with passing showers with a high of only 46 today.
