Pattern May Thread

6 days into this and .44 going to have to do a lot of work to match this gfs forecast
.84 all with that storm this afternoon. Some heavy rain but it weakened big time by the time it got here, no wind, minimal lightning and thunder but at least I rest the sprinkler today.
 
Only got .85 today to go with my .75 from Saturday. @SD @Rain Cold @metwannabe I’d gladly send you the rest of the rain for this week if it meant I’d get my paver coping and concrete around my pool. Only been waiting for 5 weeks now. Looks like I’ll be waiting another week or more. ?
Please send that's more than I've gotten this month
 
It's amazing we're still getting these CAD events in late May.

That said, it hasn't been as bad down here, other than the persistent overcast skies. We havenn't had a sub-70*F high so far.

It's been an interesting day that's for sure. I never expected it to rain all day today either. In fact last night the models had us mostly dry

Saw a video earlier of the funnel cloud and likely tornado that shut down Parris Bridge Rd in Spartanburg. That runs pretty parallel with 221 North to south from 85 to the state line. That was also the warned storm we saw yesterday.
 
On the way home yesterday afternoon, there was a 100 yd stretch on Mineral Springs Rd just east of Hwy 70 where multiple large tree and branches were down, one of which was up against a house. Only leaves and small branches down on either side. If there was a brief spin-up, it would have been right over the area with the damage I circled in orange one frame earlier.

Next 3 days still look fairly good for some additional rainfall across northern GA. A number of CAMs have had a northward moving batch of storms around and after sunset for this evening and Wednesday and Thursday look even more active with storms.
 
NWS says an EF-0 touched down in Durham yesterday.

Sure was an active day for it to only be a level 1 risk and no watches by the SPC.

 
impressive level of activity still ongoing for late May at this hour. really not much change in overall coverage since peak heating. here's 4pm vs midnight. probably looking at a gazillion urban/flash flood warnings the next couple of days.

Yes. While I didn’t witness anything I drove by at least a part of the area I believe it hit. I saw two trees down. One tree looked to have hit the roof of one house. It was in an area between Sherron and Mineral Springs Road.

That's my old neck of the woods. I used to live on N Mineral Springs Rd.
 
Looks like another burst of heat coming especially in the northern parts of the region and north with a solid ridge developing near and after memorial day.
I've had some good rains now so I'll take a burst of heat. I'd actually like to see sunshine, probably just my imagination but it seems lately when we get good storms/rain chances it followed by days of clouds instead of bright days.

I'd like one more solid rain before going hot but I won't cry if we go hot without it. But yeah as a whole it really seems like the last few fronts have been followed by a deep NE flow reminds me much more of a winter/ early spring -pna pattern

Gfs actually has a pretty clean front passage in about 2 weeks. We will see its getting to that time of year where clearing fronts starts getting harder and harder

Yep, anytime you can get dew points in the 40s and/or 50s in June is a bonus. Lets hope we see that front.

Yeah with the nao potentially lurking it'll help the chances of getting a nice front through with lower dews. I'm just a big skeptic with this look and the models being too excited with the frontal passage
 
HRRR has really underestimated the originization of the line of storms currently on the AL/GA border. Not a lot of eastward movement, but it is slowly moving that way.View attachment 118756
Will arrive when the heating of the day has passed our area. Probably get 7 rain drops if we are lucky.

To be fair we haven’t even had any heating today. The wedge has been fully in control over here. Been in the mid 60s and cloudy all day. Atlanta folks might be able to get some good rainfall out of it though.

Looks like I won't be working in the garden tonight. Still badly needed though.
