Visiting my wife's family in west-central PA.  It not really that far as the crow flies from NC but the climate is completely different.  Mid 70s today with a brisk N wind.  Back home my PWS registered 2.64 inches today.  I have been having troubles with it lately so not sure if that is real.  Can anyone in east-central NC confirm that there was some heavy rain in the area between 2 and 4 pm?

My rain gauge is malfunctioning so no idea what I got last night and today.

How can we get these cutoff lows in the winter?

In the winter we just get cutoff highs.

Rained like four or five separate times today.  Mostly light/brief but did have one good cell to drop 0.40.  Daily total was 0.46.

Had an unexpected 0.34 today.  Always nice.  Up to 7.00 for the month.  Vegetation appears mostly recovered from the desert that was spring.

Got 1.06 yesterday, up to 5.46 for the month.  The recovery continues apace.

.20 last night.  Hoping for a good soaking today and tomorrow to finish off recovery from the incredibly dry spring.

The last few days alot of strange moisture fell from the sky.  Now the brown spikey stuff on the ground has gotten softer and turned green.  I wonder if there is a connection.

Had 3.02 through thus morning, thought it was over, but got another 0.74 from a nice cell this evening.  The vegetation already looks much better.

Here’s the storm total accumulation map for the last 27+ hours.  (You can see my location on the dot under “home”.)  In all my years on this planet, I don’t think I have ever witnessed inches of rain fall all around me over an entire day while I received 0.00”.  Zero.  Nada.  Blanked.  Zilch.

Oh that is painful, I hate that for you.

That really is impressive.  Your two-day total matches my total rain from May 3 through June 3.

If I were a farmer relying on rainfall, I’d be close to jumping.

I've had more the last two days (2.90 so far), than I had all April and May (2.01).

1.34 last time I checked.  First inch-plus day in forever.

1.34'' for the day so far.  First Inch plus day in forever.

Got some decent scraps of rain the last three days.  Total of 0.82 since Friday.  Not that impressive but considering that I was at 0.26 for the whole month previously, I'll take it.

Yard is crispy here as have only had 1.18 since the start of April.  Besides the generally dry pattern have had bad luck with multiple chances missing by a few miles.  Very frustrating.

RDU set record low max (57) and record min (37) yesterday.

Just to amuse you guys, our afternoon high was in the low 50's down here in eastern NC.  Damp as well.  Gotta love treacherous spring.

Did anyone hear it official if RDU set the record for coolest high temp today?

53 with mist.  Raw out there.

We got shafted in my neck of the woods. Just 0.14” for the day. Does feel amazing out 

Even worse in Wilson, managed to thread the needle and got goose eggs.

Forecast looks drier and drier. May make it to may before our next rainfall. That would be less than an inch of rain imby for the month of April

At 0.93 for the month.  What a difference from this winter.

An unimpressive 0.10 today.

Yesterday was a straight up mid-January day.  Low of 28 F at my house this morning.

Heavy hail last hour in SW Alamance county.

Some sort of frozen... something...fell at my house for a few seconds just a minute ago.  Not sure if it was hail or sleet or what.  51 F in my backyard.
