Pretty incredible run for that area. I wouldn't mind some sharing of the rain since the next 10-14 looks dry
Yeah I’m pretty sure that’s a mini supercell, maybe I need to move to the upstate

Nice little cell north of Atlanta. Might even be small hail with it.
Edit: now I’m under a special weather statement for 40 mph winds and penny sized hail. Lol. I think it should miss me to the south though.

This wind is fierce! Had a brief shower but the wind is blowing everything over.

Snowing currently on the higher peaks in NC per web cams.
the week that keeps on giving, yet another storm today, and i caught lightning on a 1/25 shutter speed which was extremely difficult, basically press the button once you see a flash and hope for the best

Just stating the obvious, going to be insanely cold for this time of the year Sunday morning, many outlying areas may see a heavy frost or light freeze, which is about a month later than usual.
Anyone have any info on what kind of summers occur after coolish Mays?

Scary part is that is probably still too warm by a solid 3-4 degrees . Much of central NC will tie or break their all time May records, trees will be heavily damaged making for a nice brown June. Its ok though we will pay for the ag impact of this in the grocery stores... as if NC farmers needed this disaster.
absolute flizzard right now here, but no joke it’s to my south and they probably reported graupel

Chasers rejoice.
Just got back from fishing and it was brutal. It was 70 earlier but dropped to 54 with a ripping wind blowing all of our stuff over. Did catch a nice bass though.
BOOO!!! I can't believe I'm going to have to cover my garden this time of year. I truly dislike this weather pattern. I'm ready for the hot/humid thunderstorm pattern to develop!!
Facts man, bring on the summer storms, where I can get more than one lightning bolt into my shots since storms in the summer typically have better lightning density

January in May? Who would have ever thought in a million years that it was possible to see Janaury weather in the middle of May at a time of year when sun angles are over 70 degrees at peak. A part of me just doesnt believe it will be that cold. Yall remember april 2007? This is 300 times worse .
Im sorry I just dont think its possible for Asheville to be 42 degrees at noon in middle of may with sun angles over 70 under 110% clear skies.

Past couple days which were essentially supposed to be the start of the long well below normal stretch of weather ( at least for Raleigh) have turned out only seasonably below avg and much warmer than forecast.
Today was shown to be around 65-67 for high temps on models like the GFS as recently as yesterday, ended up being 72. While yesterday was shown at times to not even break 60! Ended up getting up to 73. Hopefully thats a sign that this is all way overdone. Fingers crossed here yall!

Sugar Mountain summit cam looks wicked. That wind is howling. Wish I was at SugarTop. Man what a treat.

2020 just has a mind of its own.

Some last minute freeze warnings for NC tonight. You would have think a Watch would have been issued this afternoon during the snow.

Is it just a crazy coincidence to have this kind of cold weather in May during the middle of a pandemic ?

Instead of bothering with something that's useless, I decided to start looking at KAGS weather history. May 2013 managed to have an average high of only 80ish. The summer that followed turned out to be not that brutal at all (especially compared to recent years).
Wonder if we can pull something like that again potentially, but lets see what happens during this cooler period. If it actually happens, only hitting 70 with full sun beating down sometime on the weekend will be very odd.

It’s currently 45 at my house in Pickens sc. I wouldn’t be surprised to see upper 30s

It wouldn’t suprise me if this is how we find our next severe wx event, a weakness in the ridge with a little trough axis sneaking in from the northeast

May have to wait till late fall early winter get the garden out this year.. don’t laugh. It’s been a crazy year thus far with everything... lol
I'm not ready to declare May below average yet! One week of above average temps can be enough to erase 3 weeks of negative departures around here. We suck at below average temps.
37F at KSPA for a morning low! That was only 2 degrees off the record, set in 1989
Over 50 wildfires in Florida now. They need a tropical system. Cat1 soaker.
Bermuda grass looks weirdly patchy, this cool down needs to go, I bet there was more damage done then just that
good news for anyone that likes summer Convection, gfs bringing a pattern that just brings in CAPE everyday with near zero shear, which is favorable for pulse convection, favorite pattern imo

Look at it this way if it’s cold. There is no severe weather. So I’d rather cold and stable weather then have hot unstable and Tornadoes!

Except that its May and its not like it can remain cold forever, plus as was mentioned by SD if I am not mistaken the existence of this cold protends a risk for severe weather around the time of pattern transition as cold/ warm air duke it out. To avoid severe weather you would want the warmer air to have been established with a summer pattern by now. Existence of this cold only delays the inevitable transition and severe risk it could bring with it.
