🥾 HIKING & MOUNTAIN TRAVEL
If you’re heading into the mountains Sunday or Monday, keep Smokies.LIVE Radar handy. Most of the day should be dry, but afternoon heating could spark showers and thunderstorms.
The best chance for storms will generally be during the afternoon and early evening, so hikers should keep an eye on the sky and have a plan to get off exposed ridges if thunderstorms develop.
Where it rains, it pours — but not everyone will see rain.
