100% in Bryson City, NC...clear as a bell...lots of puffy cloud banks on the horizons. One small cloud approaching about ten minutes before totality made a few people nervous, but it evaporated in plenty of time. My wife and I brought along a white sheet to observe the ‘shadow bands’ that appear just before and after totality...very cool. All in all, worth the two-hour ride from East Tennessee.

Agitated cu field has been stymied by the Eclipse, but may still re-agitate with dew points hovering in the upper 70s/near 80F and sunshine returning. Latest short res modeling, however, does downplay active convection, so we`ll likely shave off to slight chance mentions, if/where warranted.
