Good morning, this is your Asheville Local Frequency for Thursday, March 27, 2025. Today's a big day for Asheville as Good Morning America returns to our city, six months after Hurricane Helene. The show will be broadcasting live from Highland Brewing, focusing on our area's recovery efforts. If you'd like to be part of the audience, there's still time to RSVP, but hurry - reservations close tomorrow at 5 p.m. In other news, the Black Cove Complex wildfires continue to challenge firefighters in Polk County. While no structures are currently under imminent threat, residents are advised to stay alert and monitor local news for updates. The gusty winds expected today could potentially spread the flames, so please remain cautious. On a brighter note, spring is in full bloom at Biltmore Estate.
