Conditions on the Porch this morning
Thursday, August 7, 2008

Time:  9 AM

Present Temperature on the front porch: 72º
 

We have a very nice morning in Western North Carolina today.  A little morning mist in the air, some puffy white clouds and a very slight breeze.  A great morning to go and play a little tennis.
 We had a hot day yesterday, but today will top out at around 80 with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon.  The coming weekend promises to be very pleasant with sunny skies and 79 degree days, overnight in the mid 50's.  A great time for hiking during the day and sleeping with the windows open.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today's weather in the Great Smoky Mountains
Each morning (well, almost every morning . . . some mornings I don't make it out there to shoot a picture) we report on the weather here in the Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina, with a temperature check on the front porch of Prospect Hill and a photograph taken to show what the day looks like here in Waynesville.  Prospect Hill is at an elevation of nearly 3000 feet, several of the peaks around us are over 6000 feet..  For the benefit of guests coming up to stay at Prospect Hill for hiking, shopping, relaxing or to see the Spring flowers or Fall colors, we venture a weather outlook for the next few days based on several scientific factors known only to mountain folk.  Factors such as how high the birds are flying; which way the wind is blowing the flag down at the Legion Post,  and whether or not I get wet when I step off the porch (that's a sure sign of rain).

We also keep track of the high temperature and low temperature recorded on the front porch.
Low Temperature on the Front Porch this Year - 12 degrees - January 2

High Temperature on the Front Porch this Year - 92 degrees  -  July 18

Lowest Temperature in the Prospect Hill Record Book  -  4 degrees  -  Jan 25. 2003
Highest Temperature in the Prospect Hill Record Book  -  92 degrees  -  July 18, 2008
