Weather Headlines
*High water levels will continue along Big Stony Creek, Little Stony Creek, South Fork of Powell River and other steep creeks draining the high country along the Wise-Scott-Lee border area, as well as portions of Black Mountain, into today (Monday, 25 May 2020).
*A warm, moist air mass will dominate the mountain region through this week with hit-miss showers and downpours in thunderstorms.
The potential for local high water will continue with development of torrential rain producing showers and thunderstorms. Folks living and driving along streams and within flood prone locations should remain alert for the potential of rapid water level rises. This includes those hiking in remote locations of the High Knob Massif and Jefferson National Forest.
*An increase in moisture in advance of a strong cold frontal boundary, which may in part be contributed to by tropical moisture transport, will increase the coverage of showers-thunderstorms later this week into the early weekend.
*Much cooler air is being monitored for later this weekend into early next week during the transition into Meteorological Summer and the month of June.
