Arctic April

Tornadocane said:
This is a weather forum so it is my duty to report significant weather events.

Hot April continues in South Florida, especially at my location between Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood airport and interior Hollywood North Perry Airport (where the terrorists supposedly trained). Yesterday was the coldest day since April 3rd, and it was 1 degree above normal. Today we almost broke the April high minimum again, but the temperature dropped to 79.3. Tonight might be a repeat. The April High minimum temperature is 80 degrees. The high temperature for April is 97, and we got to 94 and 95 a few times.

Super warm waters off the Atlantic Coastline, and lakes are super warm. The lake outside my condo this afternoon was 86 degrees, and the drought has lowered the water level by 2 feet. I can see 2 foot fish breathing coming up to breath for air about five feet from the lake shore. The gulf and immediate Florida coast are very warm for this time a year, which is likely aiding to the tornado threat in the Southeast.

I have lived in Florida for 7 years now, and am pretty impressed by the conditions this year. It's hot. I walk my dog in the morning and night, and I'm sweating like I do in nighttime June temperatures. It's a very auspicous start to the hurricane season

Yeah it’s supposed to be an active season this year and the ssts are way high. Not good.

What a load of raw steaming BS. Raleigh is the coldest spot just about on the east coast right now all because of stinking cold air damming thanks to that stupid subpolar origin of all crap boring weather because of its super deep spring polar snowpack ( drizzle, 50s in may, 34 rains in winter , low dewpoints with no thunderstorms to speak of) .... im talking about new england and eastern canada. Wish there was ocean over all of it .

It's colder in Raleigh than in Fargo. Has that ever happened before ? ?

Right... because we have had numerous CAD events during the summer. We aren't even done with severe weather season which extends well into May. Relax, it'll eventually storm.

We actually can and have had CAD in summer . In summer it means 70s and rain , in more exceptional circumstances especially in June 60s and rain.

Well, of course, we can, but you said "screams lots of CAD and drizzly days" in the summer, which implies that it's a regular occurrence.

Yeah I remember upper 50s with cad in summer once in GA 20 years ago

Dang that Florida map is actually shocking. That should get taken care of though in about 2-3 months however.

I just took a look at Tampa’s past weather and it looks like they were way below average the first three months of this year, although they are above average for April. They recorded only a trace of rain all of March!
 
Forecast high was 71 here and it never got to 60. CAD always seems to be underestimated.
 
Today is the start of a most pleasant week here and in much of the SE with dry air and pleasant temps dominating. The dewpoint is down to 50 here and is falling into the nice 40s. That is hard to beat in late April! Lots of walking coming up this week.

Enjoy it because it looks like next weekend will be brutally hot in Savannah. Maybe 90 degrees next Sunday.

I'll give to have that kind of weather in the summer here.
 
Seems like we’ve had all this rain the past 30-60 days...but for central NC/SC it hasn’t panned out. The Deep South has been soaked though.

It ain’t heat till it’s 90+ in the foothills. Tired of running heater during y’all’s severe events
 
Yeah I'm finally removing my electric blanket from my bed. I don't think I've had it on for over a week, maybe even two, but it's extra warmth even if it's off.

It might be a bit cold for a couple nights to just have my top sheet and quilt but I know I likely made the right move. Probably will finally need the A/C a day or two after we spike to above 85. Seems as if that deal is actually late. April has been pleasant.
 
Looks like the warmup is legit, and not to mention this pattern supports t-storms, but nothing scary C3862BC2-B2B1-4CD2-995C-2512FEB625C6.png9F71A8B2-AFED-4313-B312-1F915C8FFAEE.pngD55A40E7-06DE-4B50-9DF4-E5CFDCCAFF29.png
 
Sunbelt FTW.

It's just been a few passing CU with mostly sunny skies here. The low clouds have mostly stayed to the north, although I'm watching them closely to see if they will rotate southward over the next couple of hours.

Cold bias notwithstanding, the ensemble means for May 6-11 are still not hot in most of the SE, especially northern SE. They at least imply comfortably low dewpoints coming back once again thanks to continental air influence. Here's the 12Z EPS for 5/6-11:

Yes, looks like day 6-8 looks warm, then it’ll possibly cool back down with a NE US/SE Canada trough, but it looks possible a GWO orbit into ph8/1 May happen sometime around the 2nd/3rd week of May, which may favor the plains with severe (note ph8/1 favor above normal heights across the SE us)CDE4929D-C79E-4E46-8BD0-281AD116985B.png, also looking like tropical forcing will loop around towards the maritime continent/Indonesia, but will stop there, which may be contributing to our warm looks around day 7, and around day 5-6, you can see hints of a failed NE pac jet extension, anyways it looks to curve back into the COD, and I think back towards the Indian Ocean due to nino tendencies still hanging on, but then it might go back in a favorable state towards Indonesia (maritime continent) towards late May as Niño tendencies fade away, and a western US trough will be favored from a NE PAC jet extension

Blackberry winter down here in the hills where they are in full bloom. Just got a round of golf in and it was 57 and extremely windy. Rough day and the pin placements were brutal.

Yikes! Since it's slow today, I'll share a personal ... had the same sort of day a few years back (cannot for the life of me remember which one) at the TPC ... that Atlantic NE wind and clouds were cold at Ponte Vedra, but I followed Tiger all day and he did great ... kept the chill as secondary ...
