I’m jealous!! I’ve had good tomato plants but my flowers keep breaking off before a tomato comes out. Something eats them

I had that problem last year, I think it was heat related. I moved them to a diff location this year so that they only get sun from early morning until around 2 PM. Hope this does the trick.
Hasn't rained in May not looking great this week either
I guess I've been lucky because I'm at 1.79" for the month with more heading this way from the looks of the radar. May does always seem to be a feast of famine month.
SPC has bumped a lot of us up to "Slight".

A whole .30 plus a few traces here???
I would say you are fortunate. I’ve had .45, and by the looks of it, that’s about it for May.

WRAL's model is showing this for tomorrow.

Overcast here right now. Have to see how much clearing we get to spark the storms this afternoon.

Going to be a good drizzly day … Bigfoot is more real than the chance of storms today

But WRAL says it's a weather alert day.

The sun is actually coming out here. Might get some storms after all.

Interesting feature off the coast around Friday. Anyone have any thoughts on that? Just a lp riding a stalled front?
Definitely not tropical. If it could trend stronger, we could see some really cool temps (for mid/late May).
Dew points Friday Morning:
A cool weekend with no pool time ? Pass.
Not only that but this would basically have the pattern shot for storms for a good 4-5 days

Mesoscale Discussion 0802
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0134 PM CDT Tue May 16 2023
Areas affected...Southwest VA...Northwest NC
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 161834Z - 162030Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage and intensity may increase this
afternoon across southwest VA and northwest NC, and trends are being
monitored for potential watch issuance.
DISCUSSION...The air mass across southwest VA and northwest NC
continues to destabilize amid temperatures warming into the upper
70s amid dewpoints in the mid 60s. Multicellular thunderstorm
activity upstream across far southwest VA has modestly strengthened
over the past hour, likely a result of increasing buoyancy and
continued ascent along the southern/eastern periphery of the
convectively augmented shortwave moving through the middle OH
Valley. Dewpoints are expected to remain in the mid 60s, despite
modest downsloping and boundary-layer mixing. As such, the airmass
will likely remain uncapped, with the remaining buoyancy and modest
ascent contributing to increasing thunderstorm coverage.
Even with some expectation for increasing thunderstorm coverage,
convective evolution is uncertain, and the primary severe threat may
remain associated with the main convective line farther west.
Consequently, when a watch will be needed is also somewhat
uncertain. Convective trends will be monitored closely for earlier
development and sufficient severe thunderstorms coverage to merit a
watch.

Mike Maze at WRAL said the high resolution models have the bulk of the thunderstorm activity here from 9PM through about 1AM.
