Merry Christmas Mountain Neighbors! Looking forward to be watching the upcoming weather pattern next week! For me, the weather is perfect for Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas, Maggie Valley Steve!........ And to all the other Mountain and Foothill folks.

We've got to get through the weekend and the heavy rainfall threat before the pattern starts to change. Guidance is indicating the possibility of an inch or two with locally higher amounts this weekend. There could be some potential for isolated flooding concerns for creeks and streams. 

As Tyler mentioned, the GFS and ECMWF suggest the possibility of a disturbance riding out off Coastal Texas toward us as we begin 2025.

Just glanced over the models and read some folks opinions for today. A couple things and I know most know this but we are in times that people can ride high or ride low with every model run. The key takeways is that the cold is coming and it might be really cold. The weeklies,  eps, euro and cmc are dang cold. Second is please don't pay attention to any storm until maybe this coming Monday... Things will and have changed every single model run. To me we in the mountains are looking golden.

Here is the flooding aspect already coming into play.

At Blantyre affecting Transylvania and

  Henderson Counties.

 

  ...Near Fletcher affecting Buncombe and Henderson

  Counties.

 

.A complex storm system and associated cold front will impact the

upper French Broad River watershed Saturday night through Sunday

morning, resulting in periods of moderate to heavy rainfall.

Storm-total accumulations of 3-5" are expected across the

watershed. The resultant excessive runoff will likely cause the

French Broad River from Rosman to Fletcher to approach or exceed

Action/Advisory Stage, resulting in nuisance flooding of adjacent

low-lying areas, including farmland, parks, greenways, boat-access

areas, and golf courses. The most likely period of flooding is

Sunday morning through Sunday evening, with conditions gradually

improving later Sunday into Monday morning. There remains some

uncertainty about exact amounts and isolated areas of Minor flooding

cannot be ruled out, especially closer to Penrose, Blantyre, and

Etowah. If the forecast significantly exceeds the Minor Flood Stage

of 16.0 feet at Blantyre, a River Flood Warning may be issued. Stay

abreast of the latest forecasts in case additional rainfall becomes

likely.

I'd love if we could get  a decent little thump of snow Wednesday.  It's going to be frigid late week so might as well have some snow on the ground.  Some model runs are showing it but others not so much.  I know the mountains will have our chances, it's just back to life, back to reality for me after the first week of Jan.

Listen we don't live by that montra here. The weeklies look really good through the end of January.  I really think this is a pattern change and not just a blip. We really haven't torched this season like past seasons.  I hope down east gets hammered! Then everyone can relax.  Here in the mountains we are going to be the frozen tundra.  Chin up because things look very optimistic.

Too much digging and everything is suppressed to hell. With the possibility of a severe arctic outbreak on the horizon I'd like to keep the storm track near us and not in Florida. 

Give me the track over Florida. The NW trend used to always deliver
