Love it! My area is now north of 2.5” of rain and the rain still continuing to fall. Temp is 59°. Not bad for the middle of May.

Yeah give me a nice rainy and cloudy and cooler pattern during the summer and fight the heat off. El nino pattern likely shaping up with a lot of wedge and cutoff potentials hopefully
I'd gladly share, after nearly 10" in April I was hoping to dry out in May.... maybe June lol

The cutoff is sharp with this one. Eastern side of my county gets 1+ western end where I'm at is .25
May 19th and I'm at 58 with light rain. 0.24 in the bucket so far.

Radar trend seems to suggest the better rains may make it further west than some modeling

If this May cool spell holds up it will only be a couple degrees warmer than our February temps
and that’s just sad

I guess Nostradamus was right when he wrote all the seasons would be one and folks would forget what season it was.

Sort of. I'm not ready for hells front porch yet so extending the cool is okay with me. The sad part is clearly how hot Feb was for us
Huh

I know kinda crazy. Last year we was swimming in April.
My boys have been swimming in our pool since late April and I swear I don’t know how they can stand it. The water temperature right now is in the low 70s…. We have a solar cover that I got a few years ago to put on it that could warm it a few degrees, but there’s just been too much overcast for it to be effective

Yeah, but the cool temps would be amazing for late May. The 6z NAM would be cooler with spotty highs in the 40s.
6z GFS for midafternoon on Saturday:
6z NAM for the same time:

Weekend looks great to me. Keep that heat away as long as possible. Summer is going to be miserable. Feels so good out today with the cloud cover and a nice NE breeze. Looking like 1-3" of rain over the course of the weekend.

Watching the euro here its father SW low track sets this area up for a brief fire hose event Saturday night into Sunday. The American models are more of a left of track cold rain event Saturday but are partly cloudy with scattered showers and storms on Sunday. With temps moderating back to near normal. I wish this was going to happen mid week instead of a holiday weekend but there's a price to pay this time of year when you get this setup
Not the weekend here unless we get rain
Local NWS..
Believe it or not, confidence continues to increase for an
a typical Nor`easter-like event to unfold across the coastal
Carolinas over Memorial Day weekend.
Model guidance continues to
come into somewhat better agreement regarding the details of
this event, with two distinct vort maxes expected to pivot
around each other Fujiwhara-style over the Southeast US before
merging into a large closed upper low by Sunday. This will bring
extensive rain and wind impacts, with the worst conditions
along the coastline. Temperatures will run below to well-below
normal given the supply of cool air from the north and extensive
clouds and precip due to the coastal low.
Fairly strong surface high pressure over the Great Lakes at the
start of the period will sustain a low-level wedge of cool air
over the area. Model guidance suggests that a rain shield
associated with low pressure off the Florida coast will be slow
to spread inland on Friday, with the best chances for rain
staying near the coast.

Can't wait 
This is generally the worst memorial day weekend forecast i've ever seen, on the heels of the worst easter weekend ive ever seen... keep the small vendors that thrive on tourists in your thoughts
imagine booking the blockade runner at wrightsville on what i'm sure are insane rates for the weekend and you learn it may not crack 68 for 72 hours with a sharp NE wind and rain to boot. couldn't be me! i was planning to come home but instead will be staying in richmond

Yeah everyone thinking that how cool it will be this weekend is forgetting just how bad the economic impact is gonna be. Just like ski resorts in the winter depend on having strong week from Christmas to New Years and strong MLK and President’s Day weekends in order to have a profitable season… Beach communities, lake and camping communities need to have strong Memorial Day weekend, 4th of July, and Labor Day weekend.
