Here's a closer look at Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina as the PRE and #Helene rainfall made its way through.

Red is Flash Flood Warning, Purple is Flash Flood Emergency.

#Chantal brought 7-12" or rain over part of NC, which corresponds to almost TWO MONTHS of rain in just 24 hours.

Also, about 400 square miles experienced a 1 in 100 year flooding event

It’s true that there are fewer balloon launches and less data collection than before. I haven’t seen much measured impact on forecasting yet but it is so new that it is hard to say how it will impact the upcoming season.

We just got dustbowlled #ILwx

The average last frost or freeze varies a lot across North Carolina.
Typically late March at the coast. Early May in the mountains. #ncwx #freeze

Appreciate that. I need to do a better job crossposting among all the platforms.

Late-season frost threatens plants in the Piedmont region The Piedmont faces a late-season freeze, putting sensitive plants at risk.

Dropping down to near freezing tonight. #ncwx www.wfmynews2.com/article/news...

Hi @timbuckleywx.bsky.social! 👋

Oh hey!

We are at the 6-month anniversary of #Helene, and a lot of emotions are stirring up

I posted this 6 months ago ahead of the first signs of rain in Southern Appalachia

And despite what some may say now, folks who are more vulnerable to extremes are still important to highlight

YouTube video by WFMY News 2 Lost Memories Found in Hurricane Helene Debris are Reunited with Owners

Last week, some pictures came to me from Western North Carolina. Helene debris still contains a lot of lost memories.

Social media was able to bring a lot of them back to their owners. Special thanks to Jack Kendrick and @ethangclark02.bsky.social for making it happen.

@timbuckleywx.bsky.social more shots from downtown Greensboro. That was nuts!

WHAT'S THAT SMOKE?
A controlled burn to the south in the Uwharrie Forest is sending a smoke plume into the Triad right now.
You can see visibility is quite poor in High Point currently.
This could last an hour or two.

A public information statement announcing the end of some weather balloon launches due to staffing issues.

More fallout from the indiscriminate NWS firings:

"Effective immediately, and until further notice, the [NWS] is temporarily suspending some weather balloon launches in Albany, New York, and Gray, Maine, due to a lack of Weather Forecast Office (WFO) staffing."

Why is it so windy on this sunny day?
- Air flows from high pressure to low pressure
- We are caught in between a strong high and a strong low
- This creates a strong flow of air, which we call wind!
- Once high pressure shifts toward us tomorrow, winds will lessen #ncwx

Wind reports from around the Piedmont today.

It will stay windy through Thursday.

8:50am - Heavy rain and gusty winds moving through. Severe tstorm warnings on this line right now. Wind gusts so far have been 40-50mph.

Most of this will be pushing through over the next hour and a half.

Hang tight and be alert for warnings. #ncwx

Hang on tight!
