Bristol Area Birders:
At Musick's Campground, South Holston Lake, just before dark today, the
rainbands from the now tropical depression remains of Frances were evident.
The wind was at 30 to 35 mph from the east and clouds sweeping in. We will get
4 inches or more of rain overnight through Wednesday.
The Blue Ridge Appalachians are getting what the Weather Channel terms "upslope
enhancement," with tropical rains coming in at a right angle from the Atlantic
to hit the mountains.
Most migration of birds should likely be pinned down by the night rain and
all-day heavy rains throughout Wednesday.
The strong winds blowing in from the upper counter clockwise rotation of
Frances could bring almost anything from the Atlantic area into anywhere in
East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.
Birders should take advantage of these conditions to check any available water
areas as soon and as often after daybreak and the passing of the heavy rains.
We should continue to watch for several days.
Be careful out there.
Let's go birding....
