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

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

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

The moistness the farmers desperately need up here, on the GFS

Pouring rain here now.
Perfect weather for paragliding off of Lookout Mtn into the sunset.

Good morning apparently. Sirens blaring 
Thanks to the RAH guys that lurk for mentioning this 
The relative best chance of rain/convection will result Tue
afternoon-evening, especially over the Piedmont where diurnal timing
of the aforementioned shortwave and surface troughs will be
maximized, then again Fri-Sat, as the next synoptic front/forcing
approach from the northwest. No appreciable or widespread rain is
expected throughout the week, however, so the combination of mainly
dry, and warm temperatures will likely exacerbate what will become
worsening Abnormally Dry to Moderate Drought conditions.

This was overhead this morning
Today's weather is glorious. This is the type of weather I want everyday if there's no chance of getting snow anymore.

GFS looking moist for all of us who need rainfall! 
Anybody else had the big cicada hatch yet? We had thousands come out Saturday and it was awesome to watch.

I assume that was what I heard here over the weekend before the storms we had. One night was extremely loud
Max 90.5
Min 32.6

When I get out of my truck there is a constant white noise from them along with a bunch of individual ones buzzing like normal cicadas. It's pretty neat to hear. The fishing will be awesome too.
