Meh. Doesn't look like a scorcher either. I'm perfectly fine with the pattern we've had this past week. Absolutely beautiful out and just cool enough to get the leaves started.

Rain started mid day yesterday here in Maggie and continues throughout the week. Our Poplar trees are dumping leaves which is about a month earlier than last fall. Fall colors are going strong now below 5000 feet. The heavier rains expected mid week may bring an early end to leaf season around the Smokies. Expand Yeah I'm worried about what color there is on Grandfather surviving this week. I've got some days off to do some photography next week but there may not be a whole lot to see, particularly with it not being all that cool to get lower elevations going too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 The rain rates in these showers today has been insane. I'm well over 3" on the day and this last batch maxed at 1.70" an hour. Was raining so hard in Blowing Rock around 6:20 you couldn't see across the parking lot. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Lots of leaves on the ground this morning. That was an impressive storm last night! Should be a decent week to check out the color. And then I'm ready for snow. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand WE had a decent storm around 5 am here, but you guys have been getting hit daily up there in the hills. We will be up there next weekend for a few days. We did finally get rain here 4.14" which is a lot since its been so dry. Keep the cooler air coming in hopefully soon up there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week should be great for leave looking and hopefully beautiful weather. Hope you guys enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Looks like the GFS may be sniffing out a significant cool down in just over a week. We will see if it sticks because this pattern has been extremely stable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
