SnoJoe Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 The first thing I notice when I got back yesterday was how dry it is. Took a 4-wheeler ride today and the logging roads on my property were dusty. Toe river looks pretty pathetic as well. Not a drop today either. Not drought worthy but a bit thirsty around here at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNC_Fort Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Looks like we are in for some heavy rain for once, especially on this side of the continental divide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need it.too much rain will knock off the leaves. They are getting close to "popping". I would say peak is a couple weeks away around 2500 3000' ft.

I would say peak is a couple weeks away around 2500 3000' ft.I was just noticing today that there were quite a few leaves all over the road today. Kind of yellowish brown color. Yeah if we get heavy rain the leaves will take a beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Picked up .56 here overnight. Looks to be a dry slot setting up. Nice little rain event but doubt we'll get the 1 to 3 inches they where calling for in my area. Maybe some redevelopment this afternoon. We'll see.

Met1985 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Have you guys considered starting a fall thread?No not really. We usually go right into winter and snow events from October on because we usually see snow in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSU2005 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm bringing the family up to Zionville next weekend. Current forecast has highs in the low/mid 60's and lows in the mid 40's! Can't wait!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We picked up another 1.5 inches from 6pm last night bringing our grand total to 5 inches. Impressive, westmc9th! I have a brother- and sister-in-law who live in Old Fort, at the base of the mountain. Nothing like the upslope rain showers from the southeast. I'd personally prefer upslope snow showers from the northwest, but this type of event is a close second.

Met1985 Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Just a perfect fall day. Low clouds steady rainfall, and cold. Current temp is 56 degrees. Two days in a row we have not hit the 60s. Total rainfall is at 3.14 inches with rain practically falling non stop all day. So far 2 straight days with great rainfall.
