So almost one day in the 50s every other year, I'd say that today isn't as unusual as some might think.

Not surprising given the mean lowest max is 62. Being a few degrees on the lower side of that will happen like today’s 57. Now what is abnormal...... is today’s mid day temps . If those were the highs we would have broke the all time may lowest high.

Yeah hit my high temp at 6am and was on a downward fall the entire day hitting my lowest at 4pm at 48 degrees. Crazy to COOL during the day in May. That's what makes this one a bit different.
 
Bottomed out at 36.0, too close for comfort and I'll say this one more time..... maybe this is the last one morning this cold
38 rn at RDU while mid 40s at clt and gso. And y’all say RDU is bad because uhi ! Nah that place is radiates pretty god dang good , too dang good! I’m pretty impressed 2 back to back mays with cold highs and lows. We due warmth now .

Also what UHI? Temp at RDU and dew are the exact same right now .

Got down to 39 at the house. On May 13. Nice!
Upper 30s low 40s I'm good with but flirting with frost this late is just aggravating. Cover garden, don't cover, if you do you better be available to remove the cover as soon as sun comes up, if you don't and temp drops more than expected start over....its middle May, garden should be able to fully thrive without that headache now.
 
Yeah, 36 at Sanford and 34 at Roxboro this morning (IN MAY!!). Anybody see any frost?
I didn't see any either but I'm sure any area that got down to 35 or cooler had a few patches here and there, nothing crop damaging though

RDU hit 37 for a low last night, ANNIHILATING the old record of 40! Tomorrow morning’s record low is 39, so we’ve got another chance to, as well! We also broke the record low max temp yesterday.

GSO, meanwhile, only got down to 43! RDU FTW! Wintry capital of the Southeast!!!
 
Is this the latest you've seen 30s ?
RDU reached 38 degrees on June 8, 1977. But the majority of record lows from here until the end of the month are in the 40s, and the latest RDU recorded a sub freezing low was May 10, 1977. No record low from here on out is below 35.
 
Already had 2 employees call out today because of no gas. Yet on gas buddy I can see a few stations around their house with gas? #IAINTADUMBBOSS
Hire me I’m reliable ! I was back at work 5 days after surgery . People out here shocked at how hard and quick I’m bouncing back after everything .

June highs, interesting that 60s are more likely than 100s
Mean lowest June max is 73 while mean highest is probably like 96 . Makes sense . There’s more downwards variability in summer than upwards . Difference is .07 however so not really much more likely than the other .

Yeah really not much different. We are probably due for the 100 in June tbh
