You Fathers Day Forecast, Also Looking At The Return Of Severe T-Storms - 6/20/26 #weather #highlandweather #Ashevillenc #Greenvillesc #Gatlinburgtn #Charlottenc #wxtwitter #forecast

HIGHLAND WEATHER MOVIE NIGHT: Join Highland Weather TONIGHT at 8 PM as we take a look back at Remembering Hurricane Helene, and the devastating impacts it left to our community almost 2 years later! Watch live: youtube.com/live/tgik2JHfL…

10:35 PM: Conditions are starting to simmer down severe weather wise, at this current hour. A quick spin up tornado will remain possible into the early overnight hours across Upstate SC, but the threat we are watching now is isolated flooding. We'll be live if needed.

9:27 PM: 2nd round of heavy rain and severe thunderstorms will move in within the next 30 minutes. Around central Georgia, we have seen more quick spin up tornadoes, so locations from the NC piedmont to Upstate SC should have ways to receive warnings. We'll be live, if needed!

6:05 PM: Incoming! Showers and T-Storms, some severe, some with moderate to very heavy rainfall moving in! If outdoors, be prepared for heavy rain and lightning, especially in the Upstate and NC piedmont. Our team remains on standby, and will be live when a warning is issued.

1:53 PM: The slight risk for severe weather has been extended into our NC Piedmont and SC Upstate. Hazards include isolated tornadoes, winds of 55-70 MPH, but the hail threat remains mainly for our northern NC counties. Timing will be from 5PM-2AM. Have ways to get alerts!

1:49 PM: There is a 60% chance of a tornado watch to be issued in our northern North Carolina counties over the next hour. Hazards include winds of 55-70 MPH and isolated tornado or 2. and hail up to quarter size. We'll be live if this watch impacts any of our viewing area.

10:20 AM: Slight risk for flooding has been pushed to include our entire coverage region today. Not just that, a slight risk for severe weather has been brought into our northern counties, posing a threat for winds of 55-65 MPH and small hail. Winds of 25-50 MPH also possible.

6:04 PM- The remnants of Arthur will impact the area late Thursday night into Friday. Some models are even wanting to hint the storm being stronger when it arrives. Nothing is set in stone yet, but strong to severe storms, localized flooding, and winds of 25-50 MPH is possible.

#BREAKING: As of 11 AM ET, Tropical Storm Arthur had formed in the Gulf. Landfall is possible early evening today around Lake Charles, Louisiana, before Arthur drops down to a Tropical Depression. Locally, NO direct impacts are expected, but localized flooding is possible.

#BREAKING: The first of the season, Tropical Storm Arthur has formed in the Gulf. Please standby, as we get the forecasted track. NO direct impacts are expected locally!

10:33 AM- We continue to monitor PTC One in the Gulf. No direct impacts are expected at this time, but the main threats we are watching is localized flooding, mainly towards Northeast GA, while a low-end severe weather threat remains. Main threat is winds of 55-60 MPH.

Was digging through Highland Weather archives during the #Hurricane #Helene time, and found this video I posted when I was helping clean the River Arts District 2-3 weeks after Helene. Here is the footage, as it was lost in the YouTube videos: youtu.be/or8xH5DuxC0?si…

11:20 AM- We are watching a threat for both severe weather and localized flooding Thursday as #Invest90L will move through the viewing area. A slight risk for excessive rainfall remains for the mountains and SC, while a marginal risk remains through the entire viewing area.

@spann This is why I say “Gulf” in my posts from now on to avoid any sort of drama from either side.

THE GULF: Let’s have a quick discussion this morning about “the Gulf”. Earlier this morning, I posted the tropical weather outlook from the National Hurricane Center, which referred to the “Gulf of America”. I immediately received some nasty messages from people calling me everything from some type of “phobe” to a “racist”. Last season I made the mistake of calling it the “Gulf of Mexico”, and was quick called a “libtard” and “communist”. In an ocean of mindless intolerant political extremists that are not capable of critical thinking, they are always looking for a reason to attack someone, I guess this isn’t surprising. In early 2025, the U.S. government directed federal agencies to use “Gulf of America” in certain official U.S. contexts, and some U.S.-based maps and documents adopted that terminology. It is used by all National Weather Service agencies. However, many countries, international organizations, publishers, and maps continue to use “Gulf of Mexico”, which has been the standard name for centuries. I do my best to simply say “the Gulf”. No doubt I will slip up and make the mistake of saying “Gulf of Mexico” or “Gulf of America” at times this hurricane season. I am asking that you have a little grace here. I don’t do politics here… I’m sorry. I am just a weather guy passing along information, sometimes very important. Thank you.

I had the honor and privilege this evening to present in front of Rotary to speak about my operations at @HighlandWX. I’m grateful for this amazing opportunity!

4:41 PM- We continue to track Invent 90L currently in the Gulf. The estimated forecast track brings it directly to much of the viewing area from Thursday-Friday. Thanks to the drought, there’s not a concern for flooding. The main concern is severe thunderstorms. We’ll update you.

BROADCAST RESUMED: We have returned on-air currently, however, lags and glitches might be present, as we are broadcasting a whole brand new and less powerful computer. We are currently in the process of purchasing a replacement computer, and will keep you up to date!
