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.
At 7:30, my region slightly SW of #Asheville has seen the first line of red storm pass by, so for a while we're in a steady rain area, before entering another yellow stretch.
The leading edge is moving east, keep an eye out, friends.
@czarbucks Curious question. Is potentially bad weather like today's rare-ish there? I ask because you posted quite a few posts/boosts about it (that's NOT a complaint, that's an observation). Reason I ask is because forecasts of storms with LOTS of dark red and bright yellow parts on the radar, with warnings of potential large hail & damaging winds, and with various combos of tornado watch/warnings, are so common here in Spring, that I wouldn't really bother to post about them. Most of the time. *Occasionally* one bubbles up that deserves a bit more attention, though. (E.g. I've had to replace my roof twice in the 12 years we've lived here -- lol).
E.g. just last week attached.
I'm a bit of a weather nerd, and friends toward the coast were going to probably get the worst of this storm, so was over-posting so people knew what was coming, I guess.
And, frankly, after Helene we're all a bit on edge with any storm, not sure I'll get over that soon.
That said, we lived in Orlando, and had 4 hurricanes in 2004 go right over our house (plus many others), so it's not new to me. Although only one roof. 😀
I should probably stick a hashtag on posts like these, so people can filter them.
