Sunday looks like a scorcher.
The pattern being advertised by the globals/ensembles is just nothing but stubborn, -PNA and a impressive SER, a lot of these models have it going through hour 384 with no end in sight, also this timeframe needs to be watched for severe weather aswell 
The ensembles/globals have really warmed things up from the upper 60s/lower 70s they were showing earlier this week/this past weekend , upper 70s to low to mid 80s are starting to look possible with this next warmup, and it also looks like it’s gonna be long lasting

In regards to severe weather the end of next week is piquing my interest just a bit.
I was gettin' real used to these 80s this week down here. Nothing like flipflops and go.

Looks like we might hit 39 tonight. Not very happy. I’m ready to complain about my lows only getting to 70.

Nice Frost this morning.
35 with a light frost this morning. Probably the last of the year but we will see.
37 was as low as it got last night but on the way into work this morning I did some frost on some roof tops.... really hope last one of the year.
35 at my house in Summerfield, just NW of GSO. Caught me a little by surprise. It could get this low again tonight.
I wouldn't be shocked to see some severe weather in the D9-12 range

GFS/CMC shows ample chances for light frosts through Mid April. Freezes limited to the mtns for now.
Yeah that storm towards easter/ Monday may be a problem
today may be the most postcard spring day you could ask for.

Well it looks like a great spring pattern here in Charlotte. A few days with cooler weather then warmer weather back and forth. What does the pattern look like for the rest of April?
Stormy with post frost.
Tomorrow is getting hot hot hot

No.
Assuming that is isn't largely due to cold bias, the 12Z EPS says look out for a chilly mid April in much of the country with cooler and drier than normal even down into the SE US. In other words, the last frosts of the season may not have been seen in especially some northern SE areas assuming cold bias isn't skewing things much.

Major NWP model skill scores have been set back big time due to the lack of upper air obs from aircraft during the coronavirus. Expect much wilder than normal swings in the models going forward.
Also, keep in mind that we're almost at that time of the year where even a really big negative height anomaly on the ensembles could be a harbinger of severe weather.

The classic Easter Day snow on member 18 of the GEFS.
Wondering if this is another cold head fake on the ensembles/globals or nah, remember it was looking like blocking was gonna dominate with a East US trough then as it got closer it did a complete reversal, and models have a tendency to be cold biased, so I wonder
Whoa...I think mixing is winning
