The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted our area in the slight risk for severe thunderstorms, though the enhanced risk is just to our south (too close for comfort).
Almanac
Astronomy (New!)
On This Day in Wx History
1987 – A storm produced unprecedented April snows in the central Appalachians. Mount Mitchell, North Carolina received 35 inches of snow, and up to 60 inches (six feet) of snow was reported in the mountains along the border of North Carolina and Tennessee. The total of 25 inches at Charleston, West Virginia easily surpassed their previous record for the entire month of April of 5.9 inches. The 20.6 inch total at Akron, Ohio established an all-time record for that location. Four to six inches of snow covered the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee.
