Local Yokel Weather 

Good morning folks! Yesterday and today have been a nice treat with spring-like weather across the region and we'll pay for it slightly, with a round of rain tonight into Monday morning, alongside noticeably cooler temps (not chilly, just not as warm as today). Showers end Monday morning and dry occurs late Monday afternoon, setting the stage for a sunny Tuesday with temps right around normal for early March (mid 50's).

We should have stuck to our guns with our original 1 - 2" of snow for the highest elevations, because that is exactly how much has fallen for elevations above 5000', with Cataloochee Ski Area reporting just under 1" as of 11:15am, while other h

Good morning folks! We're off to a sunny start and we'll keep the sunshine going all day long with temps slightly below normal this afternoon, dropping off like a rock tonight under ideal radiational cooling conditions for the valleys. Sunday hits the repeat button and temps will push a handful of degrees higher than today's high temp, followed by increasing clouds during the evening hours and light precip after midnight. This round of precip looks to be a mixed bag of cold r
