Marion_NC_WX Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 South Fork river in Gaston County is going to set at least it's 2nd highest crest tonight Yeah, just got home and looked wxbrad's facebook update...that's some massive flooding going on along the South Fork of the Catawba. The Greer NWS office has been playing catch up on forecasting the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeGold Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sure does Don. Low here was 55.3. Pretty chilly. My neighbor took this photo above your location at my place high atop the Plott Balsam Mtns yesterday. Waterrock Knob is off to the right obscured in a cloud. The valley area that the pic is looking towards is in the direction of Sylva. The road visible down below is the Blue Ridge Parkway. Cool temps in the 50's/60's are expected to stick around up top all week. It is about about time the sun has come out after more than 70 inches of rain have pounded the mtn top this year. Enjoy!

Avdave Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 57.9° this am in Weaverville, sure does feel good! Love it. WE hit 57 and 59 here in Northern VA last week with that cooler air. Last night we dropped to 58* here. Pretty soon you will have frost and the cooler temps to stay. Cant wait to visit when that happens.

NC_hailstorm Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 5.64'' for the month,got a decent rain Saturday and a little more yesterday. Just an observation but my yard seems to have some black spots scattered around,think it's just from all the rain and the ground can't dry up fast enough.Wierd.

DCMetroWinston Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 A couple of summers ago we had mid summer dew points in the 50s with air temps in the mid 90s. Now, we have the same dew points with temps in the 70s and low 80s. I much prefer this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it Thanks Dave. If we do hit the 40s this will be the first time in several years I have seen a low in the 40s in July. It will be a record. I have seen 40s at the end of August but this is a treat. Hope you enjoy Dave; you know it will get sticky again but Fall is right around the corner.

Just a glorious Mnt day today....Highs in the upper 70's to low 80's with very low humidity & DP's. The summer haze really cleaned up today for some incredible views! I am hoping for enough rain on Wed. to push me past 12" for July. (need .62") I am sure you have seen or heard about the crack on the Blue Ridge Parkway.....there is a link below to a updated story. Oh & by the way Dave it's been a rainy year so far but, it really opened up about the time you came to town. So I was thinking maybe you could head this way around New Years & help us with our Snow totals! http://www.nps.gov/blri/parknews/parkway-detour.htm P.S. Here is my forecast @ 2190' for tonight from GSP. The hills are going to get chilly! Patchy fog after 1am. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 55. Northwest wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Already down to 68.5 in powder springs. I've moved from the heat island out into the country a bit more. Only a six mile move or so but major difference in surroundings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Really nice drive into work this morning. Could only open windows about half way because it was too cool. **Most of us are cold loving people. If we were heat loving people, we would be screaming summer canceled; next!!.
