Hoping we don't make it up to 80 in Burlington this afternoon, NWS has the triad at 83 today, although, I have noticed that there has been much more cloud cover to verify across NC.

HRRR 9:00 initialization which makes it to 82

The NWS does actually mention this in their forecast discussion,

"With the mid-morning update, made some minimal changes to the hourly
temperatures, but also bumped up cloud cover with pretty widespread
cloud cover moving in from the west."

However, they are not too encouraged that this will make any difference in our temperatures,

"A band of mid and high clouds within the mid-upr ridge axis will
move across cntl NC today, but with partial sunshine that should
contribute to warm sector warming into 80-85 degree in most areas."

Even though this is being very optimistic, this is something that I just want to point out seeing in now-casting. If this forecast were to bust, I would think it would do so on the low side more-so than on the high side.
Edit: At least Orange County/Hillsboro west, RDU up to 77 GSO at 64


What's with the weird clouds off the SC coast in the top photo??
 
Mrgl for severe this afternoon. If we can get into the low 80s it might be game on for some decent storms

Here is tonight's ensemble member report, Quite a member #15, Large snow across east TN and the First member to make it to Bham. Even though It's just a dusting, there does seem to be a dusting as well over Mack, Jimmy and maybe Shetley in NW SC. I believe CLT gets some flurries on #18

GEFS cold bias FTW. What's the EPS got? Looks realistic and heats us up again.
 
Have had over .5 of rain so far today, best rain since a thunderstorm back in mid August
 
I'd have to think we've got at least 0.80-1.00 so far. Big time overperformer
EDIT: also worth noting the rain has kept temps down so far. Forecast high was 74 by NWS, its just 63 right now
