Pattern May 2026

[weatherfide]

I'm the new Shetley. .06" and heavies all around me.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Getting smoked with rain here. Streets are flooding. More behind it

 

[BufordWX]

Getting a solid little downpour. 3rd day in a row with rain here although this is easily the heaviest one.

CAD is killing this in the northeast upstate and into much of western NC where rain is needed the most and I expect this to continue. The area from GSP to Hickory up to Mt Airy and 40 miles either side of this of this line will not do well at all until this stupid CAD lets go.

 

[J.C.]

Region northwest of Atlanta up 50 miles is getting nothing, models have kinda shown that. Our rain chances should be 20-30% per day, not 60-80%.

Man the Euro overnight for the next two weeks is straight up glorious. The EPS agrees. The 6z GFS, however, brings the backdoor front through and kills rain chances for week two for a good bit of the area. That is one of the things I'm worried about, but it may be too aggressive. GEFS hasn't finished running yet, so IDK if it fully agrees or not.

We toss

CAD is going to win this. The drought is going nowhere. CAD will destroy both weeks in the foothills and western piedmont. Al, GA, and Tenn, along with parts of the central Carolinas look great though.

E ATL burbs doing quite well!

Does anyone have a link to radar estimated rainfall?

 

[BufordWX]

Got nearly a half inch today! Pretty decent band of stratiform rain the past hour.

You're not even in reality here. Check out the radar. You're county is getting a very solid rain as we speak and there are some big lines behind it. It's just getting started and you've got an entire week at least to go. I've already had 1.02. Calm yourself and try to use some rationality.
