Weather
Part of what makes Western North Carolina an ideal filming location is the excellent Over the 12 months of the year, four distinct and glorious seasons emerge.
During the winter months, peaks in the High Country and Smoky Mountains can be covered with several feet of snow and experience temperatures in the low teens. But less than 50 miles away in the temperate lowlands, conditions remain comfortable for working and enjoying the outdoors.
Spring comes early to the lowland hills, sharpening the hues of evergreen and awakening flowering plants and hardwood trees. As the new season gradually moves from the low lands to the highest elevations, a rainbow of color spreads across valleys and ridges until it reaches the highest mountaintops in the Eastern United States. Pinks, purples and yellows highlight the spreading green of new growth.
Summer days are warm and inviting, while summer nights can be cool enough for blankets and sweaters. Nature brings forth new life in more plant and animal species than are found anywhere else on earth as it prepares for the most spectacular show of the year.
With fall weather, visitors flock to the region to witness spectacular leaf displays, cooler temperatures (60s and 70s), and clear, crisp air. The best fall colors are from late September on the highest peaks to late October or early November in the valleys.
