The weather in the southern Appalachian Mountains region is different at higher and lower altitudes due to the wide range in elevation. All elevations have a good amount of rainfall annually and are very cold in winter. The lower elevations have dense fog and cloud cover. Higher elevations have clearer skies and drier air and are 10 to 15 degrees warmer than the lower elevations.

There are four distinct seasons in Appalachia, but snowfall and cold weather can come at any time between October and April. Temperatures range between mildly cold in lower elevations to bitterly cold with quite a lot of snowfall in higher elevations. Springtime arrives between March and May, and summers are hot and humid with common afternoon thunderstorms in the low-lying areas; it is drier and cooler in the upper areas. Falls are fairly dry and feature warm days and cool nights.
