Using data and calculations from Dr. Howard Neufeld (prof emeritus at App State), peak color for the 2500 - 4000 ft elevation of WNC can be adjusted later to Oct 20. This is just an estimation. Stay on top of color by visiting the cam views here: avlweather.com/fall.html #fallfoliage

Plenty of Moisture. Barely Any Rain. What Went Wrong?
The weekend wet forecast was a bust. There's a reason why (I think) and it may mean winter weather forecasting headaches are in our future.

September Played Summer. This Weekend Won’t.
After a September dominated by heat, sunshine and little rain, WNC is about to flip the script. A moisture-rich storm system and another Carolina wedge will bring rounds of soaking rain this weekend.

Phillies or Braves at Dodgers on Saturday at 1pm PT. Friggin 99° game time temp. MLB needs to really critically think about these postseason times.

It would be hilarious if the Phillies actually did make the playoffs today and then go on a run after this terrible stretch of baseball. Alternatively, It would be hilariously sad if they did not make it in.

The fact it doesn't have a name probably throwing off decision makers within the airline community. Usually you have cancellation decisions made by now. Airlines waive flight-change fees ahead of nor'easter www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/09/...

The length of time the nor'easter hangs around the southern New England coast is incredibly unkind to the beaches and the overall coastline. The erosion will be destructive to say the least. Lots of replenishment will be necessary.

From Summer to Sweater Weather: The Carolina Wedge Takes Over
A strong Carolina wedge will send a much cooler air mass into Asheville this week, bringing clouds, occasional rain and highs struggling to reach 70°. A brighter Friday is on tap.

I'm still not thrilled with the week-to-week gimmicks of Star Trek Strange New Worlds but if I'm grading on a scale, I actually enjoyed the "soap opera" episode far more than the puppet episode. That said, I'm ready for plot advancement. There's only like 9 more episodes left of the entire series.

I love reddit but damn, the people who comment are sanctimonious frauds. Context: I wrote about summers in Asheville getting muggier. I used ChatGPT to create a visual explainer. Reddit users don't read article but scold my use of generative AI.

The first thing I immediately thought when I heard about the starbase construction in coastal Louisiana was landfalling hurricanes and SURGE. Doesn’t seem like much thought was put into this. It’s a house of cards.

Some early reports said that the horrifying flooding in Nepal was the result of an earthquake. However, the signal was actually the recording of the landslide. TL:DR - there was no earthquake, it was a landslide. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
Screen shot showing the USGS event page. The landslide released the same amount of energy as a M5.2 earthquake
