Bottomed out at 47 . Chilling at 48 now , slow rise from here probably no higher than 54 at most later today I wager though high was 57 at 7 am which beats the daily record of 58. Upper 40s down to Columbia sc rn. Imagine if this was 400 miles more north , we would be talking about may snow in Pennsylvania and New York .
 
I’d be doing yard work all day today !!! This weather y’all got, is my ----!
 
54.9 here, and 8.69" of rain for the month so far.
 
Still results in 80s by early next week and solid warmth, has a cape exis in VA/N NC a couple of days next week 001CA764-350B-4571-B46D-9B96465AE9C0.png

Because it’s absolutely miserable outside!!! I’m the first one to cheer for cold weather during the winter, but it’s not winter. It’s May!! I’m ready to hang out at the pool with my kids, but that can’t happen yet because the water temp is about 10 degrees cooler than what it normally is this time of the year.

This is spring. This is a time of transition. You can't expect consistent summer temps in the middle of spring.

It’s mid May, not April, averages are in the upper 70s/low 80s, we shouldn’t be having days like today in the 40s, in May

Its mid May which means we are slightly past the mid point of spring. We still have like 40 days until summer. Basically we are in the heart of spring right now.

Yeah, 40's in Mid-May are a bit of a stretch but we have had wedges in mid June that have kept us in the low 60's. I know still not the same, but it just proves... never underestimate the power of the wedge. Unless it's winter- because we fail at winter wedges. ?

It’s mid May, averages are between 78-82 for most, this is the equivalent of seeing 105+ in May
We shouldn’t be having weather like this right now

I have very vivid memories of a cool day on June 6, 1998 in Georgia. I think it was in the 60s all day. Felt great.

Upward variability in the warm season is not as great as downward variability . Otherwise we would have 115 degree record highs lol. I’d say it’s perhaps more so the equivalent of a 100 degree high.

and I don’t expect summer temps yet, however I also don’t expect to be 2 degrees below my average mid January high temperature at 4pm on May 12

In all honesty, the last CAD that I can remember that had afternoon temperatures this far below average for me was the February 12-13, 2014 Winter Storm. I was in the mid 20s for the afternoon on the 12th with heavy snow that changed to sleet and then temperatures started slowly rising late that night... that had me about 30 degrees below average. My temperature right now is 49 which is 31 degrees below today’s average high.

Awesome ! Nah it was obviously may by the breakdown of highs . No other month could have that! Assuming 91-20 or full por? Also amazing how almost half the month is in the 80s which matches the monthly avg high. I suspect most months will follow that outside of JJA where almost all the days will be right around the average . Especially July I think . Think only 5-8 days in July are less than 90 and then like 1 day under 80 with a mean lowest max of 79. Excited to see the rest!

Watching the April 27th 2011, 10 year anniversary recap by James spann cause it came on my YouTube recommendations. It gives me chills everytime watching videos of those tornadoes. I hope I don't see anything like this in my lifetime again. But history repeats itself another 20ish 30ish years and will see a generational event again. What gets me is just how violent the morning QCLS was. Still thinking the tornado that went through north of birmingham could've been rated a ef5 From things I've read.
