Y’all suck, got down to 42 in CLT and 37.6 in concord, no frost around here

 

[Heelyes]

I'm ready for oppressive heat, this late freeze sucks. Hopefully won't see 30s again until mid October

It got down 36 down my way. I did actually say some frost in the open fields while I was driving to work in Marshville

I don't even need oppressive heat just keep lows in the 40s and whatever highs are fine. Doing this for 4 straight April's is getting old

Looks like oppressive heat for April standards will be back in about a week or so

Can't wait. Summertime is coming.

I'm surprised my bermuda hasn't just given up. My bermuda areas are in the most frost prone parts and they keep getting nipped.

Your area officially got to freezing. KIXA hit 32 a couple of times this morning.

37 at RDU, but it looks like Burlington hit 32!

 

[Shaggy]

Luckily we've been running a couple degrees above forecast lows.

EPS is hot af to end the month/start May, probably the hottest signal this year

If the day 5-7 wave doesn't break down the EC there's nothing stopping warmth for a while. The flip back to cool later in the month will be dramatic

The flip back will probably have some severe as well, GFS been hinting at it, something NW flowish. SW flow severe wx setups don’t happen anymore

Yep the eps looks like it a little bit too. May p5-7 mjo should lead us to more of a cyclonic flow aloft with the ridge center in the plains and central Canada. As long as we don't screw it up with a backdoor front or blowing another chilly/cold air mass through we should start seeing rain/ storm chances gradually increase after 5/5 or so. But we know that composite ofbs in the NW flow really likes to push fronts more than models suggest and we watch SC get storms/rain

Yup, maybe we actually do different for a change and slow fronts, like last weekend, that’s wishcasting Though I guess

Big pattern change here. It's barely rained this month
