Foothills Weather Network, Caldwell County NC Foothills Weather Network; With you before, during, and after the storm While doing this they developed what was then Burke Weather Incorporated. The reason?

Foothills Weather Network is dedicated to keeping you safe before, during, and after the storm! Foothills Weather Network started in 2009 as a hobby between two friends that have a passion for weather forecasting. Seeing a gap in TV Market coverage across the foothills, Chris and Jason started using a personal page to forecast and track severe weather events. In 2010, following a very bus

y winter and severe weather season Chris and Jason quickly started looking for help to cover the weather. Burke Weather Incorporated became an official Non-Profit forecasting business in 2013. It still exists today and remains a Non-Profit that houses our Emergency Services Team and runs our weather education. Burke Weather Incorporated still runs solely off donations from you, the public. We brought on Tim Sawyer, Steve Wasko, Scotty Powell and Daniel Crawley to work with us. In 2015 however we decided to develop a for profit company, Foothills Weather Network. Well it was simply to be able to sell advertising and develop a way other than donations to pay the bills. Foothills Weather Network operates on a budget of a little over $1000.00 a month. Keeping our service free has been a priority since day 1. Advertisements allows us to provide you life saving weather information without costing you a dime. Contact Chris White at [email protected] to get more information on how your business can help our forecasting remain free to the public. Today we also have interns that work with us from various universities across The State of North Carolina. These interns have went on to work at Accu Weather and other weather companies across the USA. We have also brought on Sinead Lockhart, who graduated from NC State with her degree in Atmospheric Science. The newest official meteorologist though is Kyle Noel, who graduated from UNC Asheville in 2017 with his degree in Atmospheric Sciences. In May 2017 Foothills Weather Network moved into it's new office within the McDowell County Emergency Operations Center. From this state of the art EOC Foothills Weather Network can have direct contact during severe weather situations with our partners at The National Weather Service and Emergency Management from across the state. We continue to grow and expand! We appreciate the support that each of our followers give us daily. We enjoy our jobs and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Good morning. Yesterday afternoon and evening NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters flew a couple.of missions in the Gulf. While doing so has created a clearer picture of whatwe are expecting today, it has also shown us this shstemnis going Tobe moisture starved across the Western Carolinas. So today expect snow flurries or maybe a few snow showers, with the best chance coming this evening. Some will not see any accumulation. Others could see a coating to 2 inches, with the higher totals of that scale mainly north of I-40.

We rely a lot of the data that NOAA provides. We are grateful to their commitment to public safety.

Huge 7.6 earthquake in the Caribbean just now and it registered on the helicorder in South Mountains State Park. NOAA is evaluating the risk for tsunami but thankfully most of the US is shielded by Cuba and Mexico.

Precipitation aloft is finally starting to make its way to the surface in the North Carolina mountains. Some light snow showers and flurries cannot be ruled out during the late afternoon and early evening...

Tomorrow will be one of those days where the high temperature (around 50 degrees) will be reached shortly after lunch. Then we start to drop late afternoon and plummet tomorrow night. Northwest flow snow showers will crank up in the mountains... #ncwx

At 9:15 pm, moisture back over the mountains is redeveloping and moving east. This is mostly light snow in the western tier of counties. The warm nose which surged in here around sunset is starting to retreat. Accumulation from this may add 1/2 to 1 inch across western tier.
