If you charted out the weather in the southern Appalachians each and every spring you would find it is almost like a wavelength. One that you can set your watch to by God...
From March to May, this will be the forecast, I'd bed my life's savings on it:
SUNDAY: CHILLY AND OVERCAST - 40 TO 50 DEGREES DAYTIME HIGH
MONDAY: MODERATE AND SUNNY - 60 DEGREES
TUESDAY: WARM AND SUNNY - 75 DEGREES
WEDNESDAY: WARM AND SUNNY - 80 DEGREES
THURSDAY: PARTLY CLOUDY AND MILD: - 70 DEGREES
FRIDAY: SUNNY IN THE MORNING, CLOUDS MOVING IN BY EVENING, TEMPS STARTING AT 70 BUT DROPPING TO THE 50S. POSSIBLE RAIN FRIDAY NIGHT
SATURDAY: RAIN, POSSIBLE SNOW MIXING IN, HIGH IN THE MID 30S.
EVERY DAMNED WEEKEND!
As you can see... the only time I can photograph a blue sky is while I'm at work.... naturally...
HOWEVER: For the race fans among us, FEAR NOT! Your buddy Moon Shadow has you covered, for I'm ON CALL AGAIN race weekend, so the weather is going to be phenomenal! You can count on 80 degrees and wall to wall sunshine. Not that I'm in to races generally, but do you realize in the 5 years I've lived in this area I have been on call for every single spring and summer race??
Do you realize how much it SUCKS to be on call when such a big event rolls into town???
