Nice Week To Have Off

Yes, next week is the Fourth, but the weather this week looks almost ideal. We only have to contend with a passing shower risk on Tuesday, and that’s it until the end of the workweek. Skies will be mostly clear otherwise, and we’ve got some pleasant temperatures/humidities that are uncharacteristic of the last week of June. As we look toward the end of the week and the holiday weekend, there will be enough of an increase in low-level moisture by that time to spark a few afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

We are finishing work on the 2018 Blue Ridge Parkway Calendar and hope to have it to the printer by early July with calendars available mid/late July. However like the last couple years, many photos, 50-60, from the Parkway will appear in the calendar. Click here for the winning photos

Forecast Discussion

Western North Carolina will be enjoying a pleasant, Canadian air mass over the next few days. We have one wrinkle in the form of passing upper level disturbance and its associated surface front/trough that will pass through here on Tuesday. Skies will be partly cloudy tonight and variably cloudy on Tuesday with just an isolated shower during the daytime.

Otherwise, expect lots of sunshine through Thursday with comfortable temperatures. Get outside and enjoy if you are able.

By week’s end, the weather map configuration will begin to take on a Bermuda High appearance. That means slowly increasing temperatures (nothing hot, mind you), and humidity levels.

There will be sufficient moisture and instability levels to spark hit-or-miss thundershowers by Friday afternoon, with scattered coverage expected through the upcoming weekend.
