Smoky Mtn Observations

The threat for flooding will be elevated this weekend due to multiple rounds of showers and storms. Most places are likely to see 2" to 4" of rainfall, but locally higher amounts are likely in some spots.

Increasing chances of showers and storms are expected Friday and continuing into the weekend. While it will not rain the whole time, multiple rounds of showers and storms will lead to an increased threat for flash flooding. A few storms may also bring strong, gusty winds at times.

Each observation point is apart of our COOP program (Cooperative Observer Program). Each site has a 24 hour observation period that ends and begins at 8 am local time. Each site records temperature, precipitation, and snowfall data.
