#NCwx From North Carolina’s Weather Authority on FB: Turning even hotter today as summer rolls on. Happy Tuesday, North Carolina! Partly to mostly sunny skies are possible today; highs will be in the 90s for most areas, a little cooler in the mountains. Heat index values across parts of Central/Foothills/Eastern NC will be in the low 100s. Welcome to August in NC; we will watch to see if a few scattered storms work in for NW today for parts of Central and Western sections later this afternoon and evening, with only an isolated storm chance east. Gusty to potentially damaging wind risk can't be ruled out if any storms get going thanks to the high heat; I'll keep you posted as normal! _Ethan

Good #Tuesday morning everyone, it's settling in to another hot week here in Western North Carolina. Woke too early, we're planning a hike this morning but can't begin until a much later hour. Not as much rain in the forecast as we'd hoped, or been forecast, as those now seem more like guidelines... #NCwx

We just had about an hour of very heavy rain, reaching 3"/hour rate for a good 20 minutes. Most of the new woodland garden held up well, but MAN that was a lot of rain at once. No wonder we were under a flood watch, hoping no one at more risk than us had any problems. #NCwx #Asheville #Rain

#SevereWeather #PTC #TXwx #NCwx #LAwx From North Carolina’s Weather Authority on FB: Tropical Update: We have our first cone of the 2026 season this morning the National Hurricane Center has designated Potential Tropical Cyclone 1 ( what is a PTC a developing weather disturbance that has not yet officially become a tropical depression or tropical storm, but poses a threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to land within 72 hours). It is currently located over southwestern Texas, but it is expected to move into the Northern Gulf over the next 24 hours and could briefly reach Tropical Storm status as Tropical Storm Arthur. The main concern is dangerous, life-threatening Flash Flooding from heavy rainfall along the Mid to Upper Texas Coast, through much of Louisiana, the central and southern portions of Mississippi and Alabama, and the far western portion of the Florida Panhandle over the next few days. Little to no wind is expected, but a Tropical Storm Watch has been issued A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for the northwestern Gulf Coast from Sargent, Texas to Morgan City, Louisiana. The National Hurricane Center says, "Potentially life-threatening flash and urban flooding is possible across the Texas coast eastward into central Mississippi through southwest Louisiana, with isolated areas of significant river flooding possible across the Texas Coast and Louisiana." The remains of the system could bring some moisture on Friday into the SE US from GA/FL up to South Carolina, and potentially some moisture here into NC, but we are still looking at the data. At the very least, there could be increased storm chances on Friday. I'll have more over the next day or so. -Ethan

Sunday’s Nasty or Nice outlook begins with the US radar composite. It’s a complicated tangle of fronts with some rain showing. #NCwx #VAwx #NastyOrNice #SevereWeather

Well, just mention whitecaps in the street, and cue up a thunderstorm with a huge downpour for about 15 minutes. Again, this is the precip section of the Ambient Weather Network app, and then some pictures of the rain. Haven't seen this much water at once since last summer. #NCwx #Rain

@SunnJax@tech.lgbt Was wondering how you would be with the map this week, after your snow. Ours here in NC no longer show a region of "exceptional" over Charlotte, but the "extreme" is now covering a much larger area. (See sunnjax's post for the link to the site) #Drought #NCwx

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 157 AM EDT Sun May 3 2026

WHAT HAS CHANGED

No changes to extent of Frost Advisory or Freeze Warning this morning.

Rainfall amounts for the middle of the week system continue to trend slightly higher.

KEY MESSAGES

  1. Widespread frost across the NC mountains and foothills this morning, as well as freezing temperatures in Avery County and at very high elevations of other mountain counties. 2. Temperatures trend warmer through Tuesday as skies remain mostly clear. However, cannot rule out very patchy frost in mountain valleys tonight into Monday morning. 3. Another cold front will bring rain to the area during the middle part of the upcoming week. The threat for severe weather with this system, while appearing low at this time, has started to trend upward in the new guidance.

DISCUSSION

Key message 1: Widespread frost across the NC mountains and foothills this morning, as well as freezing temperatures in Avery County and at very high elevations of other mountain counties.

Colder air is filtering into the region early this morning on light northwest winds aloft, associated with continental high pressure centered in the mid-Mississippi Valley. Skies are clear across the CWA except for some upslope clouds along the NC/TN border, which are on a diminishing trend and should not be a major inhibitor of radiational cooling. The gradient has already relaxed enough that decoupling has occurred in many rural areas. Confidence is high for frost occurrence within the existing Frost Advisory. Based on updated hourly temps and seeing a few sites have cooled more quickly than forecast, can`t rule out some very patchy frost in the NC I-40 corridor outside the Advisory, but think it is too isolated to warrant an expansion, particularly at this late hour. Dewpoints do not look likely to fall much more from current readings near freezing in those areas, so cooling probably will stop before a widespread freeze occurs in the mountains, though a freeze has already occurred on a few ridgetop obs and a few valley locations could experience a light freeze. Freeze Warning remains for Avery County where the zone average is likely to bottom out below 32.

Key message 2: Temperatures trend warmer through Tuesday as skies remain mostly clear. However, cannot rule out very patchy frost in mountain valleys tonight into Monday morning…

GSP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES GA...Frost Advisory until 9 AM EDT this morning for GAZ010. NC...Frost Advisory until 9 AM EDT this morning for NCZ048>053-058- 059-062>065-501>506. Freeze Warning until 9 AM EDT this morning for NCZ033. SC...None.

New map is now out, and as expected, things are worse. The entire SE, from south TX up through WV and all along the eastern seaboard up to ME is 100% in drought. My state of #NCwx has gotten further into Extreme Drought. Two weeks of the map for my state. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap.aspx

#NCwx From NC’s Weather Authority on FB: A changing day is ahead across the state. Happy Wednesday, North Carolina! We will have maybe a couple of isolated showers around this morning, but most places will be dry and just partly to mostly cloudy. The rain has really dried up this morning a trend I talked about yesterday evening. We will then have a break, followed by this afternoon as a front moves in. We could see a few scattered showers/storms late this afternoon into the overnight across the state, depending on how well the atmosphere recovers. The focus area seems to be leaving the Foothills and moving into Central/parts of Eastern NC, but they seem scattered and isolated. We will see if the coverage gets going. There could be a limited severe weather threat, with gusty to potentially damaging winds from a storm or two, and maybe some hail. The tornado threat seems very low at this point. Severe weather is not guaranteed; it'll depend on how much sunshine and warming occur and whether we don't see too much dry air. Highs in the 60s and 70s for most areas, I'll pass along some radar updates ect today! -Ethan
