Pattern April Thread

It's probably not going to be active anyway. For whatever reason, the deep south into the TV Valley up through the Mid-Atlantic seem to be the favored areas the last few years. We get the 7-10 split with dynamics or CAPE-killing debris showers or unfavorable nocturnal timing.

And if you're staying inside with temps in the low 70s and dew points in the 40s/50s, you got something wrong with you.
That setup could easily turn into highs in the mid-upper 50s with light rain and wedge, not outside weather to me
 
Yay, a no active severe season because you want stay inside weather !!
A no action severe season because Mother Nature decides it. I had no say in the matter but May temps average 75-79 for highs so I’ll be outside in my below average upper 60s to low 70s while you stay inside I guess. Enjoy!

80. May averages 80. Not one day in may has an average high of 75. Even the first day of May is warmer than that . Now is when the average high is 75.
 
If we avoid CAD and frost it will be ok weather . As long as after the cool first week it warms up. We are getting towards summer . However that’s not how it works . We will CAD and we will frost .

I’ve read we are still or heading in a direction of a La Niña again?? Anybody heard this? What’s a 3rd year Niña do?
 
I’m gonna make a run at 80 Saturday, then back to 50s/30s for a week or so4B72C01B-ABFE-486C-8DBC-BB2246CE626A.png
 
Welp, it seems the PNA will also go solidly positive.

Only saving grace at this point would be the MJO moving into phase 6 or phase 8. Otherwise, unseasonably cold weather looks to be a lock, even out here.

It seemed like this would finally be a year where we could avoid this cool weather in the Spring (last May was also cold). But I guess not.

EDIT: At least the leaf out should be just about done by the time this weekend's cold front comes through.

Oh my bad ? 76! My heavens my mistake! Good lord how could I have made such a grave error! My earlier statement stands that I’ll enjoy a below average 65-73 for high temps if Mother Nature chooses. 1ECD0461-4AC6-478E-90ED-C6A231D1E873.jpeg

May 2020 says hello
 
I just hope we can get another freeze or 2 in. Bugs are getting prehistotic sized and Im not going to be able to walk the next few days with temps staying above 46. Damn heat and humidity of late April is killer! My grass needs mowing too, I wanted to keep from doing that until July right before the August frosts start on the back end of 9 straight months of heat and humidity.

Well it won't be 50s and light rain every day. Even in the summer, we get temps in the 80s with rain. That's not outside weather either.

Not that it matters but average high is 76 on may 1st. Average high on may 31st is 82. For Raleigh of course .. Zebulon is a whole other animal! View attachment 117545
Nicky dude your a meteorology student . That’s not a legit climate source . It’s a satellite estimate . The actual averages are 77 TO 84 FROM THE NCEI
