This month looks a lot like May 1989 minus the tornado outbreak. Really hoping June, July, and August are like they were that year. Highest temp that summer was 96. Most days were 84-88 or so, with some a good bit cooler with plenty of storms. Of course I guess we do not need a repeat of Sept 1989 though, especially from Charleston up to Charlotte.

One of my good friends on another forum I’m on posted this new climate search data site he made after the new normals were released ! Way better and easier than the ncei ! Type in your city and it will bring you every station in that city ! What a guy he made this ! @Myfrotho704_ tweet this out at the Mets ! @SD @Bham 99
On advanced feature you can search for climates based on the criteria you set for example every station with avg high above 50 in Jan or 30 inches of annual snowfall! Though he said if you put something silly like average high above 0 it might crash since that’s literally every station lol.15,000 different climates on here !

Had to know it was coming. Barring some epic model fail we aren't getting saved by a cutoff this time
That's a great site.

Xmacis isn’t bad but you don’t got that advanced feature in this and searching is easier on this site .
Mean highs approaching the mid 90s 
Another record low this morning for RDU. 40 degrees, breaking the previous record of 41.

Wow, what a great stretch of beautiful weather we've had. It's been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, all good things come to an end. I hate it, but it looks as though we can't deny the heat any longer. It's going to be a looooong 4 months until we start seeing signs of good weather again, but that's reality in this part of the country. It's certainly been one of the best April/May periods I can remember.
It was inevitable but we’ve held on longer than most years .. it was a good run ... now we burn .. but at least it’s not burning in December and I can cool off by the pool
I’m genuinely starting to wonder if we’re gonna see a small 597dm contour pop up soon on models, 18z EPS/control continue to uptrend the ridge

I think we'll still have one more small cool down that will give us a brief shot at decent temps for a day or two. But, any sub-85 highs without the help of clouds/rain cooled air will be very few and far between.

As long as it doesn't go 2007 on us and sit there the whole summer

Is he better with heatwave forecasts, than he is with winter wx forecasting?? Asking for a friend!?
First 90 degree day forecasted from the NWS this year for rah ! 
I think the Euro might be a smidgen fast with the D10 cool down

He fails to realize that the drought would be a lot worse had it been hot. Also, he fails to realize the pattern he is cheering on would lead to zero thunderstorms.
man the heat already affecting y’all, I’ll sure enjoy the pool and outdoor activities, since we just had cold under a block for 5 months straight, f storms I just want some ??
Time to pay up for this

Thankfully, I'm not in Columbia anymore. That place is gonna roast.
Sheesh 
High amp phase 6 in late May/June = ?
Some differences between the EC and GEFS

Geez that would have been a banger winter pattern
Spread gets crazy at D10 and after with the 10th % dropping from like 90 to 75. Looks like a pattern where we get really cool or stay hot
Pretty average to see this anyways
Played golf with my brother out at Kiawah last week and those greens and fairways make you never want to play anywhere else ever again. Perfect conditions.
Talk about similar 
Lol 
Yep...cutoff is coming gonna ruin your 968 DM ridge!
It's 1 trend away from getting rid of the heat
-------------- nope
It was always too good to be true.
I see our long range 594dm death ridge that's been advertised over Texas is now gone too. In fact, we're pretty close to seeing yet another thermal trough towards the end of May.
