SnowDeac Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Any chance for NWFS behind this for the highest peaks? Seems like it would be a good time for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Too warm. Plenty of nwf rain right now though. Any chance for NWFS behind this for the highest peaks?

WeatherHawk Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 44 here in Todd at our place...bet we have snow by Halloween...looks like we're skipping Fall and going straight to winter. Too warm and too wet...so IMO the leaves will fall off and unfortunately, it's not gonna be a great 'leaf looking' transition this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 GFS a few runs now with good NWF potential Sunday night. Saw a video of some flurries on Grandfather yesterday morning. Winter is coming quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Both GFS and Euro hint at NWF potential on Sunday morning. Especially around Boone. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 This is close to something big. SLP tucked just off the coast and surface temps at 34 or 35 for most of us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention several big time forecasters sniffing out a pattern that should be ripe late next week for a box office smash hit for the wx nerd world we all live in. The pattern, teleconnections are screaming something big should evolve and now the new and soon to be gfs, is lending credence. Well have to see how this evolves, but chances are high a eastern seaboard headline wx story should take place last week of the month . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, models throwing lots of hints around. -NAO would really help and it looks like it’s going to happen. Honestly for a late October setup.. this doesn’t look half bad at all. .

eyewall Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Is there any sign of a foliage season in the NC mountains or is it a complete dud? The reports I have seen sound pretty dismal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports I have seen sound pretty dismal.I was up on grandfather yesterday and it's certainly trying to look nice. Most NW facing slopes are bare and everything above 5kft for the most part is probably gonna be a dud. Below that there's still some hope.

The reports I have seen sound pretty dismal. Here around Wolf above 5000' is abysmal. But the trees are really starting to turn above 3500' to 5000'. A lot of trees are already bare but the majority of trees still have foliage and I'd say about 50-60% of those are predominantly green but changing fast this week. I'll grab some pics first thing in the morning he morning for you if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for. Freezing conditions destroy the leaf's ability to manufacture the red and purple pigments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the process is a but slower but I am very surprised at just how green everything is down here. It's a double edged sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I went up to the mountains on Friday and it was abysmal in most spots. There were pockets of color, but a lot of trees are just browning out. Many had quite a bit of leaf drop as already noted. Definitely a lot of disappointed tourists I am sure.
