Spending as much of the summer in Highlands, NC as I can...with COVID -19 allowing remote work, I’ve been able to skip out of most of the heat...58 this morning at the house but it did touch 80 today (first time this year) briefly before a nice T-storm cooled it to the mid 60’s...it’s a heat wave here too...just different ?.
I've heard the winter snows there suck though, compared to places like Boone, Blowing Rock.. even though it's at a slightly higher elevation.

Sensor malfunction maybe? Its now 3 degrees warmer than an hour ago? I'm about a mile east of PGV at work right now and it doesnt feel like the temp is going up outside.

Agreed, its brutal out. Have to keep the fan going on my chickens all night tonight

That general area is beautiful and kind of underrated, really hoping that we don't shut down before early August because I'm going to try to come to the general area then for a couple days. Last time was at a vacation home in Cashiers (or maybe Cullowhee, I don't remember for sure) 11 years ago, this time we'll be staying in Sapphire.
To make this weather related, I've noticed recently that there's definitely a difference between the woods of what I'd call SW NC and Asheville in the temp predictions. I know elevation plays, but I'm guessing that Cashiers/Cullowhee/Sapphire being in the woods also does. Hopefully the heatwave in la la land goes away, because if it's as hot as the GFS has been suggesting early on, going in the SW NC woods is going to do nothing lol.
It may suck compared to those places but it's still way more than I ever see I'm sure

I don't want to jinx it but I feel like SPC is kinda downplaying today's threat. No, it's not going to be full-grown, smack the south MCS, but I think a lot of us at least stand a chance of seeing something.
Per the hrrrrrrrrrrr, updrafts today look more intense/stronger vs yesterday with larger amounts of lightning and even some surface hail popping up on some storms today probably given the steepening mid level lapse rates

Easy to see where the haves and have nots have been the last week or so. The southwestern & central piedmont of NC are the places to be, some spots have seen 4-5" of rain.
Seems like storms get some organization as they head towards CLT/East CLT This past fri/sat
Today could be good
Band of clouds this morning might get a nice differential heating boundary setup
