The weather pattern should remain hot and dry through the weekend. A few pop up showers are possible, but only in isolated areas and mountainous terrain to the east. So, to get your mind off of the drought, which is not easy, a change of scenery might do the trick. Take a picnic or a hike in one of the beautiful state and national parks in our local region. Here is just a sample of what is in our own backyard.
Cherohala Skyway (Link)
Prentice Cooper State Forest (Link)
Little River Canyon National Preserve (Link)
Fall Creek Falls State Park (Link)
Savage Gulf/Cumberland State park (Link)
Amicalola Falls State Park (Link)
Great Smoky Mountains National park (Link)
Both the Cherohala Skyway and Smoky Mounatins National Park offer picnic spots at elevations of 5000 ft and above. It's a great way to beat the heat as temperatures above this level will hover below 80 degrees.
Don't forget to check out the Storm Track 9 7 Day forecast and Live Super Doppler before you head outside. Have a safe weekend!!!!
