  1. Picked up exactly 0.47” again this afternoon (same total as morning!) for an event total of 0.94”
  2. This has been an awesome spring weather wise. Other than the dry month and pollen hell, temps have been very comfortable and we’ve had enough rain to feel good going into the summer. There hasn’t been any abnormal frosts or cold and though a cool down is expected (we were almost at 90 the past 2 days!) I don’t see anything screaming a ton of cold wedgy days. Definitely has not followed the pattern of last few springs
  3. Picked up 0.47” of rain this morning/overnight. Ridiculous warm mornings continued, low of 64.8. High of 86.2 yesterday, summer-like!
  4. 85.1 for the high yesterday! Summer feel. Only got down to 67.2 this morning… Incredible early April warmth
  5. New Bern did well but the 95 corridor really busted. Forecast was 3-5” and that area is generally under 1.5”. Still good rains, I’m not saying this was a dry event for eastern NC, but a flood watch and 3-5” forecast is aggressive for what actually occurred
  6. Looks like a storm total of 1.59” for us, unless something redevelops. Below the flood watch forecast of 2-4”. Good soaking rain though and a lot of thunder last night and yesterday morning
  7. Pretty significant bust of a rainfall forecast. The heaviest rain ended up west of the US 1 corridor. 2-3” west of wake. We have 1.55” (about 3/4”-1” below the forecast) and areas east of here have only .5”-1” so 2-3.5” below what was forecast. There will be some light additional rain but the flood threat looks to have passed and the only warning from this event is in chapel hill
  8. I guess it’s more of a now cast situation but the heaviest rains so far today seem much further west then models expected. We’ve only had 0.36” here but some places around chapel hill have seen 1.5”+ so far. We’ll have to see where the heavy bands setup overnight but sometimes those precursor bands let you know where they’ll want to setup in a stalled front situation like this
  9. I was at Cameron village when the first rain came through yesterday about 4:00 and the streets sidewalks and gutters turned completely yellow. It was disgusting
  10. Yep the drought from last fall has been erased but we haven’t had measurable rain since March 9 and it’s quickly dried out during that time. Friday should be wet but we’ve seen a lot of recent systems fall apart for central NC this spring so hopefully that trend is halted. April and May are typically dry months for us so going into them dry can be a bad thing as we start to really warm up.
  11. Pollen is terrible right now and getting worse by the day
  12. Hopefully we get some good rains Friday-Saturday because it looks exceptionally SE-ridgy/dry beyond the weekend and it truly hasn’t rained much here lately. Western areas and South Carolina a different story
  13. 0.00” rain here. NWS had bumped us up to likely pops but nothing. Completely evaporated moving into central NC
  14. 83.7 high today. Pollen is bad
  15. 0z GFS even drier. Gets us to 27th with 0.0” of rain for parts of central N.C. For central N.C. these are not positive trends especially in areas that have missed out on some of the heavier rains recently.
  16. GFS now in alignment with other models showing virtually no rain (<.25) over the next 10 days.
  17. 44 last night for the low. 34 was the coldest we got the last few days but had frost two straight mornings before today
  18. It looks quite dry over the next two weeks. 12z Canadian actually doesn’t have any rain for central NC through the entire run. Quite the change for the mid range compared to last few days
  19. Absolutely dumping with this little line. We may crack 1” after all. Forecast seemed like a major bust in rainfall dept most of the day
  20. The wedge broke abruptly around 10:00 here. We shot up from 48 to 65 over the next few hours. Still lightly raining but 0.78” so far
  21. The same GFS that showed it snowing on the 20th on the 0z run
  22. Weather has been awesome this spring. I don’t mind the wet especially knowing we’ll be begging for it in a couple months, nothing has been prolonged rains either. Honestly it feels like a normal spring, unlike these delayed “winters” of the last couple years
  23. Ended up picking up and additional 0.08” overnight so 0.52” will be the event total here
  24. Per this, this was the first year IN HISTORY without a trace of snow at RDU. Also the 5th warmest winter in history
