That's going to be really close for you
Love the retrogression ?
Yep, it looks like its trying to accumulate as well: Beech Mountain Webcams (beechmountainresort.com)
Down at the store: Beech Mountain Parkway WebCam (resortcams.com)
The 99 analog keeps rolling along nice
I started going through the RDU metars but eventually wanted to die so I stopped. I do remember the massive wedge during the US Open at Pinehurst that's about it
Couple of hail reports around Johnson City, thinking that’s probably graupel
Here comes the sun 
EPS barely retrogrades but it’s probably ridge happy 
Lol when the freezing level is 12 feet
Damn yeah Gfs advertising only a couple days are able to hit the 80s through the entire period.. mid to low 50s are more often seen .. ? the cold comes to me ?
Geez that didn't take long
Full sun here

What are y’all talking about?
It was really cold, drizzly, and ugly for days in June 99. Like highs in the low 60s
I believe there were a number of storms throughout the summer of ‘99. Of course that set up a very saturated ground and full rivers in eastern NC before Dennis and Floyd came through back to back in September.
And we have lightning already .. here we go 
One thing interesting about that ‘99 pattern is that it went into a 2nd year LaNina with the mild winter you would expect outside the 2-3 weeks in late January/early February that everyone remembers.

We had like a week of 100 degree heat in 99.

Those showers and storms are so close yet we have full sunshine right now .. a bit chilly with a breeze too ... is this the new summer? (Lol) but Fr these storms have to fire with the amount of clear air in their path
Probably going to start getting hail reports from the cell north of Durham soon

Just chiming in to say I saw quite a few hail reports from the storms earlier this morning in/around the Sandhills. Thought I'd offer up my 2 cents:

Wow this is a good way of explaining it ... I wonder what happens when you get under a heavy shower return ?
This should get interesting

That's actually an extremely good guess, the 12z GSO sounding showed wet-bulb zero heights around 5000 feet. That's unusually low for this time of the year
Yeah pretty close around 800-825

Freezing levels out there today in NC are on-par w/ what we typically see in the middle of winter.

Better be thankful we don't have a ton of surface-based CAPE out there today, or we'd have gorilla hail everywhere.
Come on Webb just come back already ... we know u miss it ! Although you did get that 7 inch snow so late ...

Life has just been super busy on my end of late
Much more coverage than expected
Had pea size hail
