eyewall

You may get a glimpse of it down there if you get a clear view to the S and SE.

This is giving me 2007 worries.

I have a feeling we will start to see that extreme drought cover more real estate in the next few weeks and some exceptional areas pop up.

It isn't just us. Much of the West is in real trouble with all time record low snowpack.

My concern for you all is the snowpack being at all time record lows in many spots across the West and what that will mean for water supply and fires.

The death ridge in early April won't help either.

The pollen count is not as high as Georgia here yet but the haze is starting to show up and there is a brush fire south of Raleigh:

Day 1 of the real pollening. The haze is likely to get quite a bit worse with no rain in sight.

That should make Wake County people feel a little better lol.

You can exceed 300kA with positive strikes for sure.

Lock it in:

Definitely impressive for this point in March!

Yeah I knew it when the air didn't have the feel of an outbreak day like it did on 4/16/2011. On top of that as you stated the winds were calm and that is definitely not how it goes around here on most high end days.

Yeah overall it truly was a bust yesterday and even on air meteorologists are basically saying the same. They are taking a beating today.

Those were not 65+ knots. Those would be marked in black.
