Thunderstorms with pea-sized hail are expected in the Burke Mountains and Avery County this Sunday, so outdoor plans should be adjusted accordingly. The weather today looks pleasant with partly cloudy skies and a high of 64°F, perfect for activities like the kids' hike at Black Mountain Campground or exploring the newly protected 54 acres in Roan Highlands that are recovering from Helene damage. If you're looking ahead, the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games return July 9-12 with Scottish heritage celebrations.
