Was very fortunate to pick up a quick 0.09 inch of rainfall about a half hour ago. Widely scattered showers over this way. That may be the last rain we see for a week or more.

Caught another brief shower to bring the day's total to 0.25 inch. We were quite fortunate.

Yesterday, Atlanta had a high temperature of 94°. That set a new daily record high figure. The old record was 93°, which was set in 1953 and tied in 1960. Atlanta remains solidly on track for its warmest May on record.

Mean Temperature (May 1-25): 74.7° (Tied for 2nd warmest with 1896 and 1996)

Estimated Final May 2019 Average: 76.0° (likely range: 75.5°-76.5°)

Implied probabilities: Record warm May: 86%; May mean temperature of 75.0° or above: 83%; May mean temperature of 76.0°: 50%.

Warmest May on Record: 74.8°, 1996 and 2018

That's very impressive. The 101° at Savannah tied the May record (May 30, 1898 and May 31, 1945). It was also the hottest there this early in the season. The 100° at Wilmington was also that city's hottest May temperature on record.

Atlanta high for today was set later this afternoon again today when it hit 95.  That breaks the old high of 94.

We had a similar stretch in May last year and then the tables flipped to one of the wettest summers in quite a while followed by two canes.  This certainly looks like a different pattern this year but maybe an early tropical system can break things up a bit.  I can't do this until September.  Headed for 90 again today in the Triad.  89 and steamy now.

KATL did tie the record high of 94 later in the afternoon.

 

I believe that is four days in a row with record highs in Atlanta. It’s been awfully hot.
