The rainfall climatology of a sample of landslide events in western NorthCarolina from 1950 to 2004 is presented in 2 parts. First, the two-day concurrent and cumulative antecedent (from 4 to 90 days prior to slope movement) rainfall totals
are assessed climatologically by ranking them relative to all heavy precipitation events observed in western NorthCarolina over a 55-year period. Second, the storm types responsible for the rainfall associated with each landslide event are determined using

A critical aspect of the August 2007 heat wave was the observed variability in heat and humidity across the different geographic regions of NorthCarolina. The highest maximum temperatures occurred most frequently in the Piedmont and Sandhills
. Regional to local variations in the heat and humidity across NorthCarolina are linked to upwind sensible heat fluxes associated with major soil moisture deficits, adiabatic warming connected with downsloping winds off the Appalachian Mountains
