Maybe we torch soon but we have had a magnificent stretch of spring weather. Was at my sons baseball game this afternoon and it was 84 low humidity and a breeze and it was perfect.
Record highs at RDU on the 25th/26th look reachable but we may get backdoor fronted those days

Nice turnaround on the GFS
Almost guaranteed kettle corn!
The outflows are so fun to track because there is usually multiple and wherever they collide ... BOOM .. usually
18z eps was a drastic improvement for storms for Monday, lowered temps increased PWATs

Good lord. With that much cape and no cap, just sneeze straight up and you'll pop a storm.

That’s unfortunate , Orlando may also be having its driest may since the 1800s! God dang! I had a feeling we would run the risk of being dry after this winters super -NAO. Seems -NAO winters lead to dry summers ( 2009-2010) . Perhaps we can pull up more stats to see if my hunch has any merit. Csa Mediterranean climate of Raleigh 2021 here come . We would not even need to have our driest summer ever to have this year qualify as “ Mediterranean “ I’m pretty sure .
GFS is starting to adjust west with the general longwave pattern after next week starting to run the table on another torch pattern
True the heat presented on the Gfs tho is pretty basic stuff .. don’t even see 90s past this heat wave we have coming up .. should mean more opportunities for rain cooling us down
Was summer 2010 dry your way? CLT metro was hot that summer, but we had fairly consistent thunderstorm activity and precip was around average. Also from what I’ve read NOAA now does think the NIÑA is breaking down and we are likely headed to neutral ENSO through at least next winter...that should help keep most of the SE out of any severe long term drought. If we were going into a 2nd year NIÑA, it could get ugly.[/QUOTE]
