We have only had two rain events this month, the 10th and yesterday. Friday’s looks quite light. Finishing April under an inch of rain, we’re still below an inch here for the month, is a terrible way to go into the hot season! I think WRAL said Raleigh is 3.3” below average for the spring at this point. Pattern looks like any rain will be quick fropa variety and not soaking rain. Saw some yellow shades show up in drought monitor thus week into central nc. Definitely not the time you want to see that!

Just 0.31” for the weekend rainfall total. Really looking like we’re going into another extended dry period. Low of 45 this morning.
-
RDU tied a record low of 32 this morning. Knew it’d get cold with that front but wasn’t expecting widespread record cold. Models were 5-6 degrees too warm
-
Haven’t seen “QPF” and “Much needed right now” together in the same sentence in some time: QPF (much needed right now) - is expected to be in the 0.5 to 0.75 inch range in the south and west, with lesser totals possibly as low as only 0.25 to 0.33 in the far NE zones. Regardless, this would still be a good soaking rain for most of the region.

32.5 for the low at my house. Minimal frost. Looked around and a very impressive amount of sub freezing temps across central NC for it being April 22.

High of 77 today. Still no rain since the 10th. Very dry out, hopefully we get something Saturday!
-
Just watched that Seneca tornado video posted above that was CRAZY!!! Can’t believe that hasn’t garnered more attention
-
Heck of a dry stretch setting up while it’s already been quite drive this entire month. Seeds of a drought? Haven’t mentioned that word in here for a few years
-
Need rain bad to wash this pollen away
-
I’m surprised there isn’t a warning with that storm. Obviously nothing strong but definitely capable of a spin up or two with that kink in the line and rotation showing up
-
Unwarned Storm approaching Halifax VA northeast of Danville has a decent couplet though it’s at range from the radar site
-
Drove through a tornado-warned storm near Goldsboro today and got caught in a hailstorm on 70. Quarter sized hail and easily 60+ mph wind. One of the wildest storms I’ve been in, had to come to a complete stop in the middle of 70 on the Goldsboro bypass. Likely have dents in my roof. Tried to stop at an underpass (for the hail) but there were 10 cars there and no room

Wow what a hook echo that went through Raleigh
-
This is an A+ post. As always, thanks
-
Looks like TWC is zoomed to the eye of a hurricane. That CC hole is insane
-
I hope everyone in Brent has a way to get underground
-
Unfortunately, I have one for the archives today
-
We talk year round about setups and threats, here is the culmination of a loaded gun setup maximized in a storm: textbook
-
You can see when the tornado hits something on radar. Velocities remain maxed out throughout but you can see the pulsing bursts of higher reflectivity when it hits likely buildings. This things the monster you worry about with these parameters in this setup- it has come to fruition. I wish this was hyperbole
-
That thing is a beast. I really hope we don’t see loss of life. Debris balls like that on radar mean high end tornadoes
-
Massive debris ball NW of Greensboro
-
All it takes is one, and I’m afraid we’ve already had it. Hopefully the rest of the day doesn’t live up to the potential
-
Going through heavily populated golf course communities. Not good.
-
That’s just an awful looking debris ball on radar. Good grief. Hope everyone in the path is underground
-
Yea, it’s still otg. May not be high end atm but this is a long track tornado that has definitely produced strong EF2+ damage in areas along its path
