Heads up, #Asheville and frankly the whole east coast. The huge, dripping line of storms is probably in the western mountains and almost here.

It now extends from the Gulf east of New Orleans, way up into Canada, bringing a variety of challenges for everyone this #Monday morning.

This may usher in really bad weather, so please remain weather-aware. We were just issued a Severe Thunderstorm Alert here in the city. Get ready, everybody.

@[email protected] yeah we're already preparing for a likely loss of power here in the Piedmont region. Be safe out there.

Rain's started along with the loud growls. I had hoped the mountains would mute the intensity a bit, but not seeing as much of that as normal.

All the best!
