Painful watching that line disintegrate moving into central NC but models all called for it to happen

From Uptons discussion: .KEY MESSAGE 3... The next chance for unsettled weather could come this weekend with a passing offshore low. The GFS and ICON are more aggressive showing phasing of the northern and southern stream with a surface low deepening off the Mid-Atlantic coast. This would bring better chances for seeing wet weather and windy conditions. Both the ECMWF and GDPS are either offshore or weaker with this system, so there is plenty of uncertainty. Stuck with NBM slight chance PoPs for now, since even the more aggressive scenarios bring the low a little too far offshore.

Nice to see more typical products popping up in NC, but also in big portions of the SE. Of course, lighter rains would be more beneficial.

I picked up 2” overnight which was a bit of a surprise. This on top of the 0.19” rain from earlier in the afternoon.

What the hell is that RAMBLING BS in the prior post? Holy smokes what utter nonsense.

Low of 43, glad I turned the heat back on.

55 / 38 clear (for now) Clouds arriving by noon / early afternoon. Still think we'll push rain totals 0.50 - 1.50 in places but most between 05 and 1.00 inches Wed into Thu. Thu / Fri kind of a repeat of Mon/Tue in reverse Overall cooler pattern - clouds Saturday and still watch for unsettled progression. Trough into the east now to persist towards the first week of May. Moderation towards mid May. Could be looking at a 2008 style May.

Holy moly that overperformed

I finished #6 yesterday. And that's a solid six...it's not like I'm out there mowing nothing. My yard has been going nuts for weeks.

GSP forecast from this morning through Thursday evening below. .37 for all 3 days. My ACTUAL rain just this morning only and just so far: .82 I love me some over performing!

All these offices incurred staffing losses when we made 'merica fuckin' awesome agin'. I'm sure SPC, being under the NOAA umbrella, are in a similar situation where top-down imposed cuts erode their abilities? That'd be my high confidence guess, considering there's been articles written about how staffing cuts lent to poorer hurricane this and that, too... It's a pervasive problem that we the mouth breathers, in order to form a more perfect union, had the audacity to believe would get us anywhere closer to that description. This facet of the times we are in ...hasn't gone away. Yet we keep having these post where we are surprised this and that. No ... we are not surprised. What we all are is disconnected, in all aspects of the reality we create at a civilization level, from the consequences of our collective actions - apparently.. This can be easily proven. Well, by this shit above... But it can be proven by the predicament of anthropomorphic -induce CC and the enabled, unabashed denialism ... which really is so detached from objective reality - well, put it this way, that same compos mentis voted a convicted felon to be president. 'Nough said. It can be proven by everything in between. This is also part of the ( most probable ) Fermi Paradox explanation. Probably every advancing civilization in the universe hits this dilemma eventually. Most fail the test. The rest is fact that a single light year's worth of physical distance is so vast it greatly exceeds human capacity to dimensionalize distance - yet, worlds are separated by many 10s to many thousands of them. Civilizations innovate the ability to survive in this seemingly universally constructed isolation... and that innovation then exceeds the background trials and tribulations of the pure biological-Darwinian requirement, -----> resting in relative affluence. The Law of Lessening Returns kicks in as apathy and sloth take over. This creates a nonchalance to morality and virtuosity, too. This enabling to flout advice and act sort of recalcitrant to the objective reality and truth that our grand kids are less likely to survive ( ironically...), than we are, due to ecological breakdowns that apparently have to fuckin' happen before the 90th percentile dipshits admit it... won't be obvious until we all see them dropping dead. Basically ... culminating in a veritable carelessness with dad's species gun scenario. It's going to fun for the interstellar aliens that happen by our solar neighborhood and detect a world with bio-markers... come check it out, and what they find makes Shelley's "Ozymandia" the best metaphor to describe.

My parents live about 20 miles south of Ft Myers-while they had some flooding at the Naples Beach the city was largely spared the damage just to the north. Amazing how 20 miles makes all the difference if you're not in the eyewall.

most of that is well to our west.

I have considered this. Perhaps I should, then May's not suck anymore

Where'd the big rainy pattern go-Upton has showers Wed night/Thurs AM and then nothing through the weekend

Well what a surprise we have this morning. Not adding up to much yet in CLT, but thats better than the 0 that was forecasted for this AM. Lets see what happens tomorrow too.

You should start counting down to June 1st because every May is shiat

56 degrees and cloudy.

3 days left

free of frost concerns here but a naso great mid range outlook

Looking ahead we are going to have frost potential as late as May 10th. I'd hold off planting a garden for a good 12+ days. Even if the frost is light/patchy the plants probably wouldn't grow much anyway with these cooler temps.

Oh my god, Ditty, look at that PDS watch, it is sooo big

That event was the biggest tornado outbreak that I can remember. The only other event that even comes close in my mind was April 16-17, 2011. Both events even spun tornadoes up into our area.

Glad we didn't install.

I like big busts and I cannot lie?
