Here is our preliminary rainfall map, along with the departure from normal for August 2024. Most of the western half of our area was below normal, most of the eastern half above, mainly due to the remnants of Hurricane Debby passing just to our east on the 7th-8th.

Know before you go! Get in the habit of checking weather.gov every morning before you head out. #WeatherReady

We'll start off the day cloudy today, but clouds should thin or scatter out by afternoon, leaving partly sunny skies. Temperatures will be below normal once again. #ncwx #scwx #gawx

Increasing clouds this afternoon. Some of us will get lucky with some light rain, but amounts will not be nearly enough to make a difference. Most of us will stay dry through late next week. At least temps will stay below normal. #ncwx #scwx #gawx

A cold front will cross the region today. Best of luck to all of you who would like some rain, but showers will only be isolated, and places that get rain will barely get enough to make the ground wet. Better chances are possible late next week. #ncwx #scwx #gawx

ON THIS DATE, 43 YEARS AGO: The remnants of Hurricane Babe moved slowly eastward across north GA and Upstate SC, producing heavy rain and flash flooding across the mountains. Brief tornadoes were reported in near Toccoa, GA, and near Gramling, SC. #scwx #gawx #ncwx

Downslope winds can cause damaging gusts and warming temperatures on the leeward slopes of mountains and hills. Don’t let sudden gusts in seemingly calm weather catch you off-guard! #WeatherReady

After some morning clouds, we expect a mostly sunny afternoon with temperatures 5-10 degrees on the cool side of normal. Should be a really nice late summer day. You might want to get out and enjoy it...next weekend doesn't look nearly so nice... #ncwx #scwx #gawx

ON THIS DATE, 20 YEARS AGO: The remnants of Hurricane Frances produced at least four tornadoes across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. The storm also produced heavy rain and flooding across the area. #scwx #ncwx #gawx
