Per FFC for Atlanta for April 4th:

FRIDAY
MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGHS AROUND 90.

If this verifies at KATL, it would be the earliest in the season 90 on record by a whopping 19 days!

85.3 here, and that's bad enough this early....sorry, edit: 86.3

Felt like the heat of summer out there today! RDU hit 90 today! A new daily record high!

Felt like the heat of summer out there today! RDU hit 90 today! A new daily record high!

1. ATL was 87 (record).
2. For 4/4, RDU’s low was 73, which beat old record by 10, is new alltime April high min beating 72 of 4/29/2017, and crushed the old earliest in season 73 by 38 days!

It would be very funny if RDU has its first 90 before its last freeze. Has that ever happened before?

I think it may have happened IMBY in 2007. We were at least close to 90 in late march and then hit 24 on Easter and had snow showers later that April.

Picked a helluva a day to cut the grass for the first time this year.

Yes. For example, 3/12/1990 had 90 and 4/12/90 had 29!

I cut mine last week but it already needs it again. I’m out of diesel so I’ll wait. I’ve been cutting blackberries out of our pens that I let go for two years and I can’t keep hydrated.

[cyclogent]

Friday was record warm, today was record precip (still raining too), and Wednesday will be within a few degrees of record cold. this pattern might be just a bit amped lol

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Heavy rain currently. Buckets

Freeze warning here tonight

The snow wasn't far away this morning

Did OKC end up getting accumulating snow or was it a bust ?

 

[Brent]

Did OKC end up getting accumulating snow or was it a bust ?

Pretty much a bust outside the Panhandle from what I saw but Norman never issued even an advisory either so I guess they didn't expect much

I wasn't that surprised. We were consistently in the 40s last night and the morning precip was weak for the first time all week which didn't help

 

[Brent]

We made it

Gonna be an amazing week though

 

[EmersonGA]

5.25” might be the total.

Confirmed tornado on the far south side of Atlanta apparently

I read the warning and it said radar confirmed. It looked like a QLCS spin up. Very hard to detect with much notice.

Yeah I was surprised to even see any warnings tbh

Pretty much thought it was a flood threat now

Whatever it was just crossed 75 in Henry County

 

[SD]

I assume this upcoming freeze will be similar to 07 as far as effects. I don't think a single model is cold enough on 2mTs unless we catch a break with it staying breezy

 

[snowc]

Upgraded to Slight risk...

 

[snowc]

@SD is this going to be like 3/31's supercell outbreak, where it went into Apex?

I doubt it. Probably going to force a line here with wind being the primary threat. Maybe a qlcs tail end of a line segment spin up. I'd favor east of 95, the US1 to 95 corridor is so locked in with clouds it would take some thinning or breaks of sun for this area to really maximize the storm potential

It’s a shame. I’ve got dozens of baby peaches on my trees.

Someone cleaning out the pool on the day we had a rare April freeze

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

I’ve never seen so much rain

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Streets are flooded in west Greenville. An unfathomable amount of rain falling

 

[Brent]

I’ve never seen so much rain

Places in Arkansas and around Memphis had a foot

 

[snowc]

Clouds are breaking... Cape IS UP!

OUCH... 1200 dCAPE !!! over in coastline

BIG oof for shear! Tornado prone likely
