We are being forced to choose between 70°, dark and drizzly for days on end or a heatwave and drought.  This switch is gonna flip later in June and we'll be begging for a break.  2020 weather is about as bad as the rest of the year so far.

Can we please dial up a week of 80°, sunshine, low humidity and a 10mph breeze?  This current pattern is just wrong.  

Yeah I'd take that too.  Only problem is, low humidity is hard to come by this time of year.  

Edit, just saw TWC showing upstate 3 days of mid 70 highs and mid 50 lows starting next Sunday with NO RAIN! That would fit the bill and be a nice entry to June.

Officially 91 at CLT and CAE yesterday. CAE helped out with a cloudy to mostly cloudy sky.

I don't have central air. I do have a portable AC for my bedroom at night and a few dehumidifiers though. Humidity is the issue here, not heat. In the 3 years I've lived above 4000' it's never reached 80 at my house.

Man, that's my dream!

Ever go back to visit Cola in the summer?

Well officially GSP hit 89 so no 90 yet. The rain is just reaching crazy levels this year though. Through today, GSP has recorded 39.97! This is an incredible 21.4 inches above the normal of 18.57. There is still a week left in May and it could well see another inch or several this week. I was blanked today (which I'm happy about) but I am up to 49.02 in for the year so far! 

Just curious, do you mountain guys ever use, or even have a/c? I have a shaded house, do the windows open at night/closed in the day dance and usually make it to about this time to ever turn mine on. I didn't turn it on last year until that hot last week of May and haven't used it yet this year, and it doesn't look like ill need it through mid June at least. Most years I wait until June or later. You mtn peeps are usually anywhere from 5- 20 degrees cooler than me so...

I’d take 100 degree temps for the next 3 months if it meant I could piece together more than 18 hours without rain in western North Carolina. 

I'd wager that's only because you have no idea what 100 degree weather feels like! In all honesty, 100 is very rare for me too, I haven't seen it since 2012. I think my highest temp since then is 97 or maybe 98, but anything over 90 is torture for me. If I never saw a temp over 75 again I'd be in hog heaven! I understand about the rain though, I'm completely sick of it too. I wouldn't take 100s but I'm sick of it. 

Red radar returns have been literally been parked over the Pelham Rd /85 interchange for a solid hour. They must have gotten a couple of inches or more and there could be some flash flooding in that Eastside/Greer area. 

GSP shot up 4 degrees the past 45 minutes and hit 90 for the first time. I'm actually surprised. It was only forecast for 87, and with all the wetness I didn't think it would come close to 90. My high so far is 85.5, now down to 82.2 with mostly clouds. 

CLT just hit 90 as well. 

Yeah, humidity really up there after all thed rain. If i can dodge 90 i should be good to go for awhile, 76-83 for the next 15 days for me, not too bad as we start June. 

Those who don't hit 90 today should be safe at least through the first week of June. More rain but no real heat showing.

How much snow?

This weekend is going to feel MISERABLE! Mid 80s with 274% humidity; thus a HI of about 146.

Sitting on 10.20" as of 9:45. Was expecting much more yesterday afternoon and night. Glad we didn't get it. 

Big time right there! 7.36 for me but I gladly yield higher honors to you. 

6z GFS shows a cool front pushing through first week of June that would bring lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s for many. Nothing crazy, but below average. I'd take that any June.

50 degrees.Windy. Now up to 8.70”. 

Ouch. I am thankful i missed that train line this am by just a few miles to my SE. I'm sitting at 6.54 and that's plenty, but more on the way.

GMU with 4.09 as of last hour and coming down pretty good there now.

Already 4.03 for me with much more to come. 

Wow, heck of a start to Rainageddon part 25. 2.66 already and this was just the first possession of the first quarter. 

Already over 1.7 in here and adding up quickly.

Euro shows a deluge and what would be big flooding in the foothills and western piedmont 

Seriously hope that doesn't happen. I've had enough heav ugh rain and flooding. Go somewhere else please.

Only down to 39 this morning. Nice and cool but not earth shattering. Been soooooo nice. Sorry it has to end and the heat has to come.

Someone has to make the sacrifice. Godspeed, IceAge!

Hopefully someone besides me! How about CAE?
