Thunderstorms with pea-sized hail are expected to hit Burke Mountains and Avery County on Sunday, so keep an eye on the forecast as today brings lighter drizzle with a high of 84°F. On a brighter note, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games are returning July 9-12 to celebrate Scottish heritage, and rescue crews recently assisted an injured hiker off Profile Trail in the area. Air quality remains good today at AQI 41, so outdoor activities are fine for now, just watch out for Sunday's severe weather.
