Good morning! Very mild temperatures in place everywhere this morning. The winds have picked up and that mixing of the air blends the temperatures. Those winds are going to continue through the beginning of the week as high pressure to the north and Eta to the south create a pressure gradient which in turn creates the winds. Here's a look at the 925 mb winds (~2700-2800 feet today) with streamlines. Notice the flat high pressure to the north and then Eta to the south. The winds from both the high and low combine to bring a strong easterly fetch off the Atlantic Ocean. The winds at this level are forced to go around and to the south of the mountains…

Good morning! Not much to say about the weather when the days are like yesterday. Could you ask for a nicer fall day? 🍁🍂 Very mild temperatures this morning that are running 10-20 degrees above our normal low of around 42, so certainly not a typical crisp fall morning. And those temperatures are going to remain mild for at least the next 7 days as we start to get an influx of moisture across the area. Increased moisture always raises those nighttime temperatures and acts to limit those during the day. We will have more clouds around and most of those will be high clouds today as the moisture increases in the mid levels of the atmosphere, but eventually we'll sta…

Good morning! We're going to keep this one short today as I don't want to sound like a broken record. Everyone does remember what a record is? 🙂 Temperatures this morning are slightly above normal and these lows will be warming up as the week progresses into the weekend. This would be the "normal" lows for today. And these are the normal highs for today, and once you see the forecast, you'll notice that they are right about normal. There was a very slight chance for a shower or two during the weekend but those chances have now been delayed until Tuesday. Eta is still an unknown threat. I've …

Good morning! At least we're waking up to relatively calm conditions today, unlike the last three or four, and our temperatures are pretty mild. There is an interesting pattern to the temps this morning though. Notice the temperatures to the east, there is even a 34 degree reading just outside of Big Canoe. But then notice what those temperatures do as you go up in elevation. With calm winds, the cold air will settle and pool in the valleys and radiational cooling really starts to do its thing. When the winds are higher the air mixes and helps to blend the temperatures to make them more even. Look just south of Big Canoe, two temps in the 30's, and then just inside …

Good morning! Temperatures this morning aren't as cold as yesterday and it looks like we have a little bit of a temperature inversion going on. The valleys are much cooler this morning and even seeing some temps at or near freezing. Higher up, we're warming up with many of us in the low to mid 40's. And believe it or not Sanderlin has one or the warmer temperatures around. The reason is that that temperatures at the 925 mb level, or roughly 2500 feet, are warming and have been since about midnight. Here's a little animation showing the warming at that level and you can watch those temperature erode as the day progresses. This goes from 1 AM until 3 …

Good morning! We're waking up to some clear skies, cold temperatures, and brisk winds this morning. Ahhhh.... fall! I'll go ahead and tell you that there isn't much to talk about with the weather right now. Nice but uneventful sunrise this morning. That's McElroy to the left in this image. Temperatures this morning around Big Canoe look like this. We can see a couple of sites reporting 32 degrees, but everyone else is in the low to mid 30's. Had the winds calmed down, everyone might have dropped to the freezing mark, but when the winds are strong, it mixes the air and prevents radiational cooling from doing its job. We should have calm…

Good morning to all! This will be the first morning post for Big Canoe, it adds a little more time for me to prepare but I'll try to keep it as short and concise as possible. The plan is to have more specific weather information for this community and to try to get a better understanding of the micro-climate that we live in. With such a wide variation in elevations and ridge/valley configurations, it makes it difficult to come up with a one forecast fits all post. On top of that, everyone's exposure is different regardless of the altitude, so what might be true for your neighbor down the street might not be true for you. Here's a look at the temperatures aroun…
