This live camera looks out over Black Mountain, a small town in the Blue Ridge foothills of western North Carolina. The stream lets you check the sky, cloud cover and visibility from a distance before you plan a drive or a walk. The page also shows local time and the forecast for the next three days.
About the town
Black Mountain sits at about 730 metres in the Swannanoa Valley, a short drive east of Asheville. The town is known for its arts community, its historic downtown and its access to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the surrounding national forest. Mountains rise on most sides, so the light and weather can change quickly from one valley to the next. The town is a common base for hikers, potters and people who want a quieter pace than the city.
What to watch on the camera
The view is most useful for judging the sky and cloud layers over the ridges. Morning often brings mist and low cloud in the valleys, which may lift by mid-morning. Late afternoon can be clear and good for seeing the outline of the hills. Autumn is a popular season in the region, when the surrounding forests change colour, though the exact look depends on the view and the year. Watch for storms building over the peaks in summer.
Planning a visit
The area has warm, humid summers and mild winters, with snow possible but usually brief. Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable times to be outdoors. Asheville, about 20 kilometres to the west, is the closest larger city and has more lodging and dining. Other cameras nearby include the Asheville views and the Hendersonville Horse Shoe Farm camera, which can help you compare conditions across the region.
