  1. Rainy and chilly here with brisk winds all day long. Earlier today I was amazed to see the entire states of North and South Carolina covered in rain. You don't see that very much. We have picked up 1.42" as of 6 PM.

    What a nice Easter weekend in store for us in the Carolinas...

    LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
    As of 300 AM EDT Monday: The alluded frontal boundary will sweep
    into the CFWA on Thursday. Most model guidance keeps a narrow band
    of showers and storms along the boundary as it pushes through
    the area. Some scattered showers and storms may develop just
    ahead of the main boundary, but the main focus will be along
    the frontal axis. With a slight uptick in shear parameters and
    global models/NAM depicting decent SBCAPE (750-1500 J/kg) values
    ahead of the boundary, most should expect some form of organized
    convection Thursday afternoon/evening, with a low-end severe
    threat, but confidence remains low on this development. Either way,
    temperatures will remain 10-15 degrees above-normal for highs on
    Thursday as most of the CFWA will settle under a stout warm sector.
    
    Major changes will be underway behind the front Thursday night
    as a strong surface high travels across the Central Plains and
    Midwest Thursday and into the OH Valley Thursday night. As the
    surface high sets up shop over the Mid-Atlantic early Friday, model
    guidance continue to place the CFWA under a hybrid CAD. With the
    flow aloft oriented from the southwest to northeast, deep moisture
    will continue to traverse over the CAD dome. Expect temperatures
    to dropoff nearly 20 degrees for highs on Friday compared to
    Thursday. The frontal boundary will stall south of the area,
    but moist upglide should keep PoPs elevated on Friday and through
    much of the weekend. By the weekend, the surface high should slip
    offshore the Mid-Atlantic coast and transition into more of an
    in-situ wedge, locking in the cold air through at least Sunday with
    temperatures remaining 10-15 degrees below-normal over the weekend
    for highs, with the potential for values to be even lower. Signs
    of CAD erosion doesn`t appear in model guidance until late Sunday
    into Monday as a shortwave trough pushes in from the Deep South
    and a surface wave travels underneath before deepening off the
    Southeast Coast during this timeframe. In this case, expect for
    a very cloudy and gloomy end to the week with well below-normal
    temperatures and continuous cloud cover through the end of the
    period following the fropa late Thursday.

    Sounds wonderful.

    26 dead in a major tornado outbreak last week and I couldn't find a post, much less a thread, about it on the Southeastern board.  Tenn Valley might work, but it seems like nearly all the tornado coverage in MS is a carryover from further west and thus a continuation of threads here.  Might as well make official what has evolved in practice.

    Nothing wrong with Carolina people focusing on the Carolinas, GA on GA, etc.  But moving might clear up some confusion that may have limited posting when someone scanning couldn't find a thread or even activity in an event and didn't think to check the Central/Western States board (LOL).  "Central/Western Time Zones Board"?

    Why not just include them in the Tenn Valley section. It already covers northern MS and AL.

    Someone reminded me today that it was the anniversary of the March 28, 1984 Carolinas Tornado outbreak.  I was on the 4th floor of a dorm room in Rock Hill.  

    The thing I remember distinctly about that day was coming out of class in the afternoon and it was so hot and humid I could hardly breath.  It was one of the worst outbreaks ever in this region.

    That is the first I have ever heard of this.

  5. Had our first good thunderstorm of the year today. Lots of lightning and heavy rain. Picked up 1.11" from it. Also cooled us down from 75 to 62 early this afternoon and temp has barely recovered. Currently 65/63 just before 6 PM.

  6. Had a low of 56 but by 7 am it was already up to 68. Had a high of 83 before a line of showers moved thru and dropped the temp down to 65. We picked up .09" from the line. Currently 69/64 just before 6:30 pm.
