Pattern April Thread

This might be the first solid setup for NC this year when it comes to widespread convection, and basically a 0 tornado threat
Biggest threat would be damaging winds given large inverted Vs/steep low level lapse rates with large Dcape and dry air present in the mid levels, also some minor mid level flow for multicell clusters/minor organization 39BE62BC-F8C8-40E9-88CE-2340AE1CFF53.png23BE3E2B-BE84-4A69-843E-A90C1C99EC5D.png71D5E59E-C548-4866-8726-0A5F140C483F.png
 
Now a decent area under moderate drought in east central NC. We are running about -4.5 inches right now. Some rain chances coming up but not enough to break this drought. May will be a make it or break it month if we stay dry expect a hot baked ground to sustain some very hot days this summer.

Looking at the timing on this, there should be plenty of instability with this coming in at peak heating

Yep, up to this point a big eastern trough meant a cold airmass with potential of frost/freezes. We're now at a point a trough means beautiful weather (70s low humidity); anything else is warm/humid. And those troughs will come through less and less in May.
