Thunderstorms with pea-sized hail are expected in the Burke Mountains and Avery County on Sunday, so keep an eye on the forecast if you're heading into the high country. It's a pleasant day today with overcast skies, a high of 84°F, and good air quality, making it nice for outdoor activities like hiking—though stay safe on the trails after a recent hiker rescue on Profile Trail. The community is also gearing up for the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games coming in July, celebrating Scottish heritage in the area.
