I wonder if it's going to be the rain or the cold the busts this weekend. My guess is both

Earliest ever 90 for Chattanooga is April 10th (1995). Currently sitting at 89.

Just too early for this kind of weather. Warmth is one thing but heat is another; also pushing 90 for CAE today.
This is form GSP for today:
It can’t be any worse! There’s no way the west coast trough can stay anchored out there for another 99.8% of the winter with an El Niño! We need a big shakeup, after 3 continuous winter Nina’s! I say bring it, let’s see what happens!
Anybody got the analogs for a moderate Nino after 3 Niña winters?? Would be fun to look at

The GFS is awesome sometimes. I'm guessing this would be considered subtropical, but showing this in April is crazy.
Ridiculous. But if we can hit 80 in Feb we can sure hit 90 in April.Just too early for this kind of weather. Warmth is one thing but heat is another; also pushing 90 for CAE today.

All of the local in house models in CLT are now showing temperatures in the mid 40s by Friday afternoon… being that we’re going into Easter weekend, only one word sums that up…YUCK!!

For early April, I'll take it over mid 80s every time.
Sorry, but once hit April 1, I’m all for warm weather…not 90s with high humidity, but there was nothing wrong with being outside today

Agreed. 40's in April is just wrong. BTW, the 18z GFS actually has snow on Sat up on Mt. Mitchell.

This is still in a broad way playing out like 1989, so it's possible we still get more cold weather even into May. Hopefully not a repeat of 5-5-1989 though.
Getting the wild temps swings like then, but we did miss on the snow and ice.

One of the hottest times in April I can remember in the upstate, was April 2003! Remember mid 90s for a stretch
It may of been 03 but there was one year when the hottest part of the year was late April.
When I used to travel for a living,
My first trip to DFW was April 1 late 2000's
GSP was low 40's & low 60's
Charlotte around the same.
Asheville knock a few degrees off that.
When we landed at DFW it was upper 80's around 10 am locally.
The high that day was 100°
Never forget that..
We go 10 years or longer without a single 100°
It's generally expected out there for 5 months a year or longer.
Also it's not a dry heat.
So thankful I'm where I'm at.
