Official low 48. Also the coldest June temperature since June 2 2003 (47)

A truly fascinating article on the development of a new AI model using data assimilation from this startups own balloon data network. https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/01/this-ai-weather-startup-is-out-forecasting-government-agencies/

I had raindrops on my windshield this morning. This guy is full of it.

Models have had to correct way south on every system the past few months

At least they should have dropped the short term drought designation in those areas. I understand that lakes and resovouirs may not have recovered, but soil moisture is likely pretty much back to normal

They tend to be note overly reactionary. Updated outlook:

GSO picked up 1.45" in 25 minutes in that last cell, more than we picked up in the 5 day stretch when we were supposed to get 2-4"

5 day totals GSO .96" RAH 1.00" Charlotte 2.53 Greenville SC 2.21" Columbia SC 2.1" Atlanta 2.39"

If the HRRR is to be believed the Triad is going to be the big loser today after rain slid to our SE earlier. We did get enough to get the ground wet anyway, but clearing up again for now

I think more meaningful rainfall will have to wait until the wedge breaks down Tommorow morning. At least that's what the short range models are showing and I think the wedge is what killed the rain around here
