I'll forecast again farther down the line. Our driving force is simple.
Geeking out to local weather/climate across SW NC since 07'
Stopped forecasting in 22', but still having fun running around our mountains, now focused on Parkway Colors. To create, support, and foster a growing network of weather stations, partners, and individual enthusiasts that work together to bring more data and insight to our neck of the woods here in SW NC.
