Pattern April Chasing ???⛈⛈⛈

I

gosh darn I know :/ ... hoping for a two foot hail storm this summer!

agree , yesterday areas in GA saw more hail then the amount of snow they saw this past winter, why can’t that happen to us ? Maybe we can get one of those weird cold pockets aloft this summer with pulse convection and let buckets of pea size hail come down
 
If it was jan or feb I’d be interested but this ain’t happening, it will probably get warmer from here on out with future runs, if the storm happens (snow) I’m leaving this board, lol
It's hard to believe that even places like Charlotte has had accumulating snow as late as April the 20th.

Atlanta had 1.5" on 4/25/1910, which to me is about the most amazing wx event of any kind in Atlanta history. In GA, not only was there a T down to Columbus and Macon, there was a T all the way down at Americus, which is 50 miles further south and otherwise hasn't had even just a T of snow any later than 3/25! Lows on 4/26 got down into the 30s well down into FL like at Ocala! Lake City got down to 33!
 
We interrupt this thread for a wx bulletin. The 0Z GFS has an old fashioned April 1-2 snowstorm in the Triad. More details on this as they become available. We now return you to your very quiet thread.

Very funny GFS. Very funny. Can we drop the BS snow and just move on? Apparently not. I shouldn't be seeing soundings like this that are close to snow in late March.

Agree 100 percent ... move on ... winter is over... even if you could call it that... my eyes on bigger fish now down the road ....
 
12Z GFS coastal chilly rainstorm part 2. Yes, this actually is a 2nd wave of a 2 parter on the run. Going to be fun to track. Although I prefer dry, many coastal areas actually could use rain as it has been dry overall.

Edit: (virtually) no wintry south of VA on this run per my source's maps. This is a pure rainstorm for the SE on this run.

What I hate to see, more sinus burning cool weather
 
12Z Euro: very impressive CAD/coastal combo April 2nd. Some of far NW NC doesn't get out of the 30s with some snow some of NC mtns!

I can’t wait til severe season starts and I don’t have to hear about snow

Facts, I’ve had enough of these let downs And cold rains, they just make a miserable day, sunny and 70 is way better and plus I’m ready to plant some stuff without worrying about anything freezing
 
We’ve done it 2 times, why not do it again, this time I’m actually hoping it trends farther SE to give us a nice 55-60 degree day like today 09D58763-7864-4AE9-8CAC-994E927D92A5.gif
 
Pure clown ? silliness, folks, from the cold biased Happy Hour FV3 and this is from 2 separate waves by the way: where it says “includes sleet” it should also say includes ZR and fake wintry precip

Lmao, the 18Z FV3 has Columbus and Macon at only 35-6 (35 Below normal) with rain at 2PM on 4/2 (with 850s of +3 to +4 C) thanks to a combo of a departing very strong wedge, cold upper disturbance, and a coastal low along with the help of a strong cold bias:

From GSP:

"A SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT-WAVE TROUGH ORIGINATING FROM THE
EAST PACIFIC IS EXPECTED TO PASS TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION LATE
MONDAY OR TUESDAY AND INDUCE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG OR JUST OFF OF THE
SOUTHEAST COAST. CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY REMAINS REGARDING THE
EVENTUAL TRACK AND STRENGTH OF THIS FEATURE. THE 00Z EC AND 12Z CMC
KEEP THE BEST MOISTURE AND DYNAMICS AND HENCE PRECIPITATION TO THE
SOUTH OF THE REGION BEFORE KICKING THE DEVELOPING SFC LOW OUT TO
SEA. MEANWHILE THE GFS/FV3 HAVE THE SYSTEM A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH
AND EVEN TURNING UP THE COAST (GFS ESPECIALLY) WHICH WOULD SUPPORT
AT LEAST SOME PRECIPITATION INTO THE FA. HAVE SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE
IN THE GUIDANCE FOR NOW WITH ONLY LOW END POPS PRESENTED AT THIS
TIME. WITH CAD IN PLACE AT LEAST TO BEGIN WITH, WINTRY PRECIP IS
POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY A HIGHER ELEVATIONS, SHOULD THE COASTAL LOW
THROW MOISTURE BACK INTO OUR REGION.
CURRENT FORECAST HAS HIGHS IN
THE 50S, BUT COULD EASILY BE 5-10 DEGREES COOLER IF SOMETHING CLOSE
TO THE GFS VERIFIES."
------------------------------------------------------
My comment: While it would be extraordinary, getting wintry precip on April 2nd outside of the mtns (especially in the Carolinas/TN and N GA/AL) would be far from impossible considering that on 4/25/1910 there was a trace of snow as far south as Americus, GA, and ATL had 1.5"...this on the 25th or 23 days later.
 
I present to you member 23 from the EPS. There are a number of members that support a chance of wintery something south of VA and this is inside day 7 so if it is going to go poof, its now or never. Most are very light but this needs to be saved.

From the 0Z GFS, a beautiful wedge/coastal combo for 4/2 resulting in rain with as cold as 30s part of Carolinas:

0Z FV3, a cold biased model, has snow falling at hour 114 SC/NC border and mix further south:
