Observations Early 2019 S/E Heatwave Duration Record

Wilmington NC has broke several records for May. 100 degrees, less than .3” of rain, etc

It would be nuts if the biggest heat wave of the year ends up being in May. Is that even possible?

Would actually love that, get this extreme heat out the way and have the rest of the summer in upper 80s/low 90s.

We would need some rain for that to happen though.
 
NAM has strong T-storms in NC on Friday with a decent breakdown of the ridge, severe storms would be likely with that supported pattern except for tornadoes, lets see if it holds
 
For the first time in days, there's not a cloud to be seen here and it is already 97.3 at 12:20 PM with very light winds vs 96.2 with some clouds 24 hours ago. KSAV had 95 at noon, which is the same as 24 hours ago. Hunter AAFB, however, is at 93 vs 96 24 hours ago. If KSAV reaches 100, it would tie the longest 100+ streak on record (back to the 1870s) with 2 other 5 day streaks that occurred in July. There hasn't even been one in June or August!

Damn looking at the 12z NAM, if it weren't for a damn cutoff upper level low forming over CA/NV, we might have been able to get a tall upper level ridge to form over the west(and get a nice trough over us). Still, looking at hour 84, definitely some relief as we get winds from the NW.

Got a decent surge of S to SE winds, which quickly cooled it off here by ~2.5 F to ~94.9 at 12:50 PM from 97.4 at 12:20 PM. Still no clouds. Maybe today's high will have been at ~12:20 PM?? If the winds from this point on were to be mainly from the S to SE, there's a good chance for that. We'll see.

No such luck as shifting winds allowed a quick rise back to 97.7 at 1:18 PM for the high so far today.
 
95/72 heat index of 103.... this is how we roll, get winter out of the way in December and get summer out of the way in May. Next
 
4th straight day of 100° at KCHS today.. now tied for the 2nd longest streak of consecutive days 100° or greater. The Longest occurred in July 1986 with 7 and another 4 day streak also occurring in July 1986 (July 1986 had a total of 13 days 100° or greater that year). Highs Thurs are expected to be in the upper 90s to near 100 before slipping down into the mid 90s for Friday.
