Warm weather in September delays peak fall color across western North Carolina (opens the original)
Read excerpt
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Fall color is off to a slower start in parts of western North Carolina after one of Asheville's warmest Septembers on record.

That is closer to Asheville’s normal August high of 84 degrees than its normal September high of 78.7. Farther north around Boone, Howard Neufeld, known as the "Fall Color Guy,
2 years after Helene: Rainfall data reveals radar gaps in western North Carolina (opens the original)

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — “We’ve known for a long time that we have radar holes in the mountains, gaps in radar coverage, especially at low levels,” said Christopher Godfrey, professor and chair of Atmospheric Sciences at UNC Asheville. UNC Asheville researchers are now using rainfall data from Helene to measure how those gaps affect weather radar estimates across Western North Carolina. Helene’s unusually high rainfall totals gave researchers a clearer comparison between radar estimates and rain

Read excerpt
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — The Blue Ridge Mountains are still wearing their summer green, but western North Carolina's fall color season is just weeks away.
