Good Afternoon,
Barely into the third month of the calendar year and already hitting this shorts and t-shirt weather hard. But after this coming weekend, Old Man Winter is gonna return from his brief getaway and bring some frigid temps back with him. Alas, that won’t keep us from enjoying what we’ve got here and now. Sensational skies high above the Smokies! The mountain tapped an otherwise toasty 55° yesterday, and our low was 35°. Today and stepping into the weekend, the thermometer should read similarly, but the clouds should gradually thicken with only a slight chance of an afternoon rain shower by Sunday. Winds are also going to pick up a tad with gusts reaching their strongest speeds tomorrow, up around 40mph at times. There’s more than 11.5 hours of daylight these days, and that means more time to explore nature. So get out there and seize that mountain moment! Good Morning,
The great “spring tease” continues, as delightfully warm temperatures and satisfyingly splendid sunny skies keep spoiling the Smokies. The air is clear once again today and the views are limitless. We managed to reach 48° yesterday and had a low around freezing during the night. We are expecting a high up in the 50s today, a sure sign that winter is losing its grip on the region with each passing day. Winds are light with the occasional gust. Trail conditions are in fairly decent shape, and are gradually drying out after all that precip last week. There are a few icy patches in the shaded places closer to the top, but can easily be avoided with the need for traction devices. Daffodils have been popping up in the lowlands for a while now, with some of spring’s first bloomers sure to be waking up in the park. Get out and enjoy that sunshine while we have it! |
