I've always used this account to tell WNC's story through the lens of weather and maps

A comprehensive Helene analysis will take years to complete, and I'm anxious to get started. I'll be releasing a new website in the days ahead to share all of my work and document our recovery

@jjrennie Very impressive - I had a feeling that screenshot was just an initial response.

As they work out those initial hallucinations, I imagine it’ll soon take considerably less wrangling to hone in on the final date.

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

@jjrennie Were you able to confirm a date from its list of suggestions? Some (most?) of the data in that screenshot is hallucinated. Especially on July 9-10, 1999.

I would love an AI tool like this to support our forensic cases at work, but I'm wary of being served fake data.

Superbloom rhododendron year on Roan. Absolutely amazing.

📍Roan Mountain

One can never do too many sunset hikes during peak rhodo season

📍 Craggy Gardens, NC (again)

@ChrisJacksonSC Well, pressure probably wouldn’t work because the wave would be so compact.

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

@ChrisJacksonSC Might be a stupid question, but I wonder if you could triangulate the source using either pressure obs (need 1-min data…) or maybe even geolocated video time stamps of the boom.

@NMS_Screenshots @MeghanDanahey Woah - thanks for sharing. From one extreme to the next...

[Jayden Vogler @voglerweather]

First light look at Edneyville flood damage from last night. The section of Bearwallow Rd being repaired post-Helene is a mess. Multiple homes are inaccessible with washed out driveways as well #ncwx @EthanClarkWX

Reflecting on this, the NAM clearly had the right idea.

Sunsetting the only model that consistently handles CAD correctly will hurt forecast accuracy across WNC.

I expect next winter will be bumpy as we settle into the new normal.

[Dan Crawley @SoApps1979]

Doing a little model comparison for North Carolina at 16z (Noon) on Friday.

The NAM (top) hinting at some hybrid wedge action while the experimental RRFS is significantly warmer. NAM usually sniffs these out well, at least for our part of the world.

We shall see… #ncwx

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

@SoApps1979 The NAM retirement is going to hurt particularly bad around here... Thanks for pointing this difference out

@GeorgeKahn20 Bird watching is one of Sable’s favorite activities. Y’all would get along well

@babowling12 Banked extra this morning just in case

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

Spring continues to creep up the slopes of the Black Mountains.

Flowers are way ahead of schedule throughout WNC this year - it is remarkably pretty.

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

Perhaps I have failed to unearth these reports in old newspaper archives, but as far as I can tell, the claim is unsubstantiated.

June snow is certainly possible (surprising it hasn't been observed), but July is very nearly off the table temperature-wise. The record low is 36°F.

[Evan Fisher @EFisherWX]

This fun fact has haunted me for years.

It's listed on information kiosks atop Mitchell, but never in the 86 years of official record keeping has snow been recorded in June, July, or August.

More than a dozen JJA snow reports are actually hail.

[The American Storm @BigJoeBastardi]

Been there, done that. Mount Mitchell (the highest peak in the eastern U.S. at 6,684 feet in North Carolina) has recorded snow in every month of the year
