Formed in July 2007 to simply fill in the weather data, forecasting, and storm coverage gaps that exist across SW NC.

Our first station was installed in Downtown Sylva in 2007 (red house above the Coffee Shop).

​

We do not have an end game. We simply wish to expand data collection, drum up enthusiasm about the unique weather

found here in SW NC, and fine tune the hyper local forecast for each community.

​

We are not perfect and always encourage our readers to follow and engage with other weather sources,

in particular the National Weather Service out of GSP during life threatening events. 

​

We're in this for long haul and do not wish to go it alone. If you'd like us to focus on a particular location,

add a specific feature to the site or perhaps would like to collaborate, reach out to us at pj@mtnwx.com.
