Looking for rain/conditions info on TN/GA/AL areas in March

Hmmm even Obed? Sunday should be good, though, right? Maybe we should just postpone the trip a day and do our driving Saturday.

No clue about the Obed. Rain isn't the issue though...it's the humidity and dew point. Supposed to even rain in the AM in the Obed as of right now. Dew point is the most important thing this time of year. If it's close to the air temperature...don't do it.

Does that go for all climbing areas down there?

Dew point is the most important anywhere in the country...but applies mostly to the SE.

The dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. At temperatures below the dew point, water will leave the air. Basically, the dew point temperature is when you see the cliffs and boulders condense.

Just beware is all. Temperature and lack of rain is only a small part of the conditions around here.
