May be?

HRRRv4 is showing the possibility for a bit of a storm complex to enter into North Georgia from the northwest late tomorrow evening into the overnight. We might have to watch out for that on top of the isolated afternoon storms.DD0E592E-9279-4570-B1A5-E568D379C678.png
 
I think the first half of May might be us correcting for a brutal May last year heat wise. Of course I don't remember a thing from then because that spring before May was so emotionally tough, but it was absolutely shocking when I looked and saw that there was multiple days in a row of KAGS hitting triple digits last year in this month.

It was so hot last May that I think the JUNE high temps averaged out slightly cooler.

Well, Sunday was day one of the warmer weather that might make it iffy on the air conditioner, and I'm not sure we're going to make it to Wednesday, where we may be home free. It was quite warm even near sundown and the house temp is borderline right now, even past midnight, to where it might come on.

Just go turn it on ?
 
Hmmmm November- December’s getting warmer and April- mays getting colder ... ?
That's fine with me. Warmer than normal in Nov and Dec means comfortable weather and the same goes for Cooler than normal in May. My preference is for Warmer than Normal in Winter and Cooler than Normal in Summer. That maximizes the number of comfortable days.
 
What a strange start to May... Unseasonably warm this weekend to unseasonably cool next weekend lol

Also watching for maybe an MCS tomorrow night as the heat ends

The real strange part for the SE US is not the warmth imo but the upcoming pretty lengthy chill going deep into the SE. This kind of thing just hasn't happened very much during any season the last few years.

Not that I necessarily believe it, but one could use their imagination and say that the virus has shut down so much driving that it cut back a large enough volume of carbon emissions in combination with the current 200 year grand solar minimum to suddenly cool back the globe. What a beautiful story that would be if real. In actuality, UAH did cool back sharply during March-April. It was the sharpest NH 2 month cooling in 32 years! So, why did this happen?

"In April, 2020, the Northern Hemisphere experienced its 2nd largest 2-month drop in temperature in the 497-month satellite record.

The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for April, 2020 was +0.38 deg. C, down from the March, 2020 value of +0.48 deg. C.

The Northern Hemisphere temperature anomaly fell from +0.96 deg. C to 0.43 deg. C from February to April, a 0.53 deg. C drop which is the 2nd largest 2-month drop in the 497-month satellite record. The largest 2-month drop was -0.69 deg. C from December 1987 to February 1988."

Will we later say hindsight is "2020" about the unexpected start of a great NH and global cooldown in "2020"? Could it be"??

Both NAMs showing somewhat wicked parameters on Tuesday, one thing that stands out is they both support absolutely humongous hail on the north side of the boundary with large MUcape advection aloft, then south of the boundary, parameters increase to a tornado/huge hail/wind risk as things get more surface based, NAM is probably over doing it, but the hrrrv4 showed something similar, questionable thing is Convective coverage, but geez if you like hail this setup may be it 90196035-6968-47E3-B6F9-62B26F5B2EAC.png8B210A9E-E177-40D7-82F2-EAD1E5C7D481.png380F3E12-B51A-4C98-8A64-04E4DF338345.png
Worth noting you got all the ingredients for large hail in these soundings, very steep mid level lapse rates (7.5-8C+), large cape in the HGZ, off the deck inflow between 40-50kts, some dry air aloft, and over 50kts of 0-6km shearE1282BEA-BB5A-4F8C-9B5E-E40C587908E3.jpeg

Miserable May.
I am really pulling for the wedge to lose tomorrow and hang/get pushed north of 40. Going to be 20-30 degrees different from one side to the other. When it comes to this weekend will be interesting to watch the models over the next 72 hours to see if they start to back off on the magnitude of the cold and depth of the troughing like we often see in winter.

The 00z EURO was at least a step in the right direction.
