Arctic April

Impressive at this range.

The ceiling could go considerably higher than even what the Euro is leading on depending on the interaction w/ this trailing northern stream wave

Interesting.

Possible?

Definitely possible. Mid-April Freezes aren't that terribly uncommon, especially up in the northern parts of the Southeast. Heck, Raleigh had a minor snowstorm on April 19, 1983, for that matter.

I think RDU's last freeze was March 8th (or about that time). I have to wonder if that's one of the earliest last freezes on record? That seems pretty early to me. There's always a chance we get another still, but we're running out of time, especially as the near-term pattern doesn't look conducive. I believe Raleigh's latest freeze on record is May 10th.
 
Hrrr has some nice multicellular clusters tomorrow, with some 60+ dbzs in ENC, likely from better CAPE/DPs, might be some marginally severe hail around there tomorrow w/ some isolated downbursts, as you head west into WNC, boundary layers will be well mixed with large inverted Vs, which may allow a more gusty wind threat, once thing to watch is that sea breeze boundary which may enhance the strength of storms around ENC 04E1B5B4-89C2-4B21-A228-EAFC2DD44153.png4E1BEDD1-713A-44E8-BD64-6D7E8EB9BB5C.png
 
Here’s a sounding from ENC from the hrrr, better CAPE with decent 0-6km bulk shear 0CFB0272-9FB7-48CA-AFD6-75EB2F49B93B.png
one from near CLT, boundary layer is effectively mixed, dewpoint depressions around 30+, this sounding reminds me of one out in the SW us, lol AEAF2BF5-AE31-41DB-B9E6-378DD2756313.png
 
0Z GEFS is cold throughout the country and pretty cold even into most of the SE for days 6-15., The question is how much is it overdone due to persistent cold bias. Even if it is off a good bit, it certainly doesn't look like a warm pattern like we had in March and dewpoints should be nice and low most days.
