I believe this is the 4th record cold temperature recorded at RDU in the last month. Pretty impressive given recent history, but so typical it happens in April and may and not January or February
Man, I’d take this setup back in January! Perfect for 33 degrees and cold rain... Currently a very cold 47.5 with a gusty NE wind and steady rain. 0.08” so far on the day but at least it’s steady and widespread
Yep this is a great setup for it. I’ve seen it only once in my life but we had maybe 20 minutes of pure, pea sized hail, that covered everything including the road. I think some areas see this tomorrow
With the freezing line around 750 mb tomorrow and CAMs showing some enhanced convection, there may be some fairly efficient hail producing storms in the area tomorrow and maybe even some hail “showers”
High of 87.8 today, warmest of the year at my house. Low of 66.4. Picked up 0.19” of rain with 3 rounds of rain. Just enough to moisten the ground, on top of yesterday’s 0.14”
