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…
