nchighcountrywx Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Good video from Cowans Ford Dam at southern end of Lake Norman at Catawba Springs that someone posted https://m.facebook.com/scott.dubois.56679/posts/pcb.1276374619207087/?photo_id=137802397323477&mds=%2Fphotos%2Fviewer%2F%3Fphotoset_token%3Dpcb.1276374619207087%26photo%3D137802397323477%26profileid%3D100028049062478%26source%3D48%26refid%3D18%26_ft_%3Dqid.6700708148741099547%3Amf_story_key.1276374619207087%3Agroup_id.515274225317134%3Atop_level_post_id.1276374619207087%3Atl_objid.1276374619207087%3Acontent_owner_id_new.100032811523330%3Asrc.22%3Aphoto_attachments_list.[137802397323477%2C137802407323476%2C137802463990137%2C137802433990140%2C137802443990139]%3Astory_location.6%3Astory_attachment_style.album%26__tn__%3DEH-R%26cached_data%3Dfalse%26ftid%3D&mdp=1&mdf=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I went up to Roan Mountain yesterday to take a look at the Rhododendron bloom. Unfortunately it was a bit of a dud this year. There were blooms but the coverage was rather sparse and I was told it just wasn't a good year. I am not having a good track record so far between the fall foliage season and this. None the less the weather was near perfect and the views were great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo conditions have been pretty terrible overall as well with the Canadian Wildfire smoke, stupid hazy vista's and then the flood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I drove up on Big Bald and caught this downburst or hail core as it passed over Erwin, TN about 30 minutes ago. Looked like a hailcore on radar at the time. It was 55° up there and the wind was blowing 20-30. Felt great! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 That line just skirted to the south of where I am in Indiana working, it has looked nasty in radar all evening. Hate being out of town when something damaging could happen because I know I’ll get a frantic phone call from home that I can do nothing about.

I was in Paris, TN, northwest of Nashville, when it came through the state park there around 6:30 PM. Crazy amounts of wind ahead of the rain and small hail.

Yes, although we didn't see much wind here in Saluda NC as it passed around 3 am, down the escarpment in Tryon and Columbus there was some minor damage and a lot of unsecured summer things blown about... (chairs and such a friend had his gas grill blown over). Amazing how there is another cluster of storm following a similar path.... on synoptic radar it looks like an S curve... unusual look instead of the bow we normally see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be hard to beat. =) We were up on a hilltop overlooking Kentucky Lake (Paris Landing State Park). The trees swayed back and forth as if they were fans. Left, right, swirling. It was very eerie and surreal. No rain fell as this was happening. Then it calmed down briefly before the rain hit us. Hard. The gust front, derecho, or whatever we want to call it was one of the most impressive and sustained that I have ever witnessed. We then left out this morning before the next MCS passed through. Raced it home all day until it caught up to us at about the NC/TN state line on I-40. Torrential rainfall on that curvy, walled interstate section is no fun at all. Looks like the third MCS will hit overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRidgeFolklore Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 My son starts football this week and it got me thinking about how fall is right around the corner. I noticed the CPC 4 days ago put out a discussion stating their belief that we're headed toward ENSO-neutral through fall and winter. So for the sake of breaking up the silence, what is everyone projecting for fall heading into winter here in the mountains? https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until then, enjoy the rest of the Summer, Fall...maybe anther late Fall snow this year, we will see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
