No no no no no.... No R-word!!! Weather.com says Robbinsville, NC looks like a 70% chance of perfect sunshine.

If you have an issue with the weather...no need coming (I'll eat your food for ya! ). I'm planning on having a good time one way or the other.


For those that are damned and determined to worry about the weather on The Dragon...(and I say it like that only because its the mountains...not even God can predict the weather here... )

Robbinsville, NC forecast <= that's ~ 20 miles from Deal's Gap...east of The Dragon.




...personally, Saturday sounds nice to me...if the sun that comes, comes early enough. 55 degree high will make for some cool air for our F20Cs to sing . Friday sure does sound like it will be a bit of a pisser tho'. Still, Taska and I will be heading down Thursday morning...and I'm sure I'll enjoy every minute of the time we get to spend with our S2000 friends .

Well, I won't say the "R" word, but I just checked the forecast for Alcoa, TN and it has an even more offensive 4 letter word. Check Sunday!

---

Friday (24 hours): Scattered thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 70s and lows in the upper 40s.
Saturday (24 hours): Showers. Highs in the upper 50s and lows in the mid 30s.
Sunday (24 hours): Rain and snow showers. Highs in the upper 40s and lows in the upper 30s.
