The Blue Ridge Weather Watch does not have any criteria to follow in reporting bad weather conditions to us.
So if you feel threatned by any severe weather condition, we would like to hear from you.
Here are a few things to report!
STRONG WINDS – Limbs blown off of trees, twisting winds, funnel clouds and wal clouds.
HEAVY RAIN – Water standing on roadwasys or large amounts of water in ditches or gullies.
HAIL ANY SIZE – If you get any size of hail, we would like to know about it and the diamater in inches.
LIGHTNING – Streaking lightening in your area.
ICE ON TREES – Ice forming on trees or power lines.
SNOW – When snow is beginning to stick on roadways and driveways.
IDENTIFY YOURSELF and give the location of the event you are reporting. This may not be your home location, but the location of the event you are reporting. Also, the NWS preferrs that you give cross streets. Rather than 123 Main Street in Morganton, they prefer near the intersection of Main Street and Elm Avenue.
