Good Morning,
Numerous cloud layers stretch across the atmosphere this morning from low valley to high peak. The mountains are getting a break from the stormy action to start this Saturday after several big systems rolled and rumbled through the region overnight. More wet weather is on call for this afternoon and into tomorrow, so anyone hoping to spend time on trails today should do so early. Everyone should pack their rain gear regardless, because these hills and hollers can certainly produce their own weather. Temps will spend most of their time in the 50s today, especially if the sun remains hidden from view. Winds will be light over the crest. There’s been an increase in bear activity around the mountain lately. Sadly, one continues to see the wreckless, irresponsible, and damaging behavior by those who feed wildlife and/or don’t pack out their own trash, orange peels, and plastic bottles for example. Doing so is about as disrespectful as one can be in a beautiful national park such as GSMNP, and it creates harmful and dangerous situations for not only the native wildlife but other human visitors. If you are a responsible and caring person who witnesses such despicable acts, please call out such people by educating them about proper practices or reporting what you see to the NPS. We all share in the responsibility of keeping the Smokies beautiful and unspoiled while preserving its natural resources for future generations to enjoy. Thank you. Have a great day.
