Pattern May: gateway to everyone's favorite season

Really starting to look like we may get into a pattern that will allow some fronts to attempt to move into the region late next week but get stuck in a west to east orientation.

GSP is saying that is a small chance that we get into a pattern which might allow the MCS track to come into NC and SC late next week.

Just don’t fall for it! I’m telling you, it’s like waiting on a clipper for snow in our area, you’ll be highly disappointed!
 
The average number of 90*F+ days for Atlanta in May is 2 days. If the current forecast doesn't change, it's on track to see 9 consecutive 90*F+ days, all of them consecutive. While the most ever is 11 days (also in 1996), this year should break the record for the most consecutive 90*F+ days in May.

And for yet another comparison, May 2018 tied with May 1996 for the hottest on record (temperature of 74.8*F) As KATL sits at 74*4*F as of 5/24, that record looks to get shattered. Even assuming just a high of 90*F and a low of just 70*F the rest of the month (low ball), the average temp should end up at about 75.6*F.

Meanwhile, for today, the record high of 93*F which should get broken with a forecast high of 95*F.
 
Anyone else notice this on the air quality index last night? It was "hazardous" for a while in the upstate. strange.

Tired of rain. Take it Winston or anyone else please. Hard to see weeks of dry weather being this close to the mtns.
 
Rain, even severe coming through triad VA border counties tonight

The above Euro map is for maximums for today. As expected, most of this won't even come close to verifying. 109 at Waycross? 104 in Brunswick? 98 in ATL? 104 SAV? 100 in Greenwood? 100 in Charlotte? I don't think so! Yes, we're at or near record highs in many places and I'm not trying to minimize that, but let's just say that that Euro (and other runs, too) was a bit too enthusiastic. What I read from a pro-met was that its dewpoints have been too low thus making the air drier than reality and thus being warmer than reality.
Also, yesterday's Euro had lows in the low 80s in much of SE GA and S SC for this morning. They were near record high minimums but about 5 cooler than the Euro.

FWIW (not much), the HRRR hints at some isolated pop-up convection this afternoon, especially across central GA/AL.

With Friday looking more iffy as far as 90*F+ potential, that would mean just 8 consecutive 90*F+ days and only tying the previous record in 1996.
