olafminesaw Posted Wednesday at 02:50 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:50 PM Drought to worsen and fire conditions ramp up this weekend with warm temps, dewpoints in the low 50s and breezy conditions. Some signs of a more seasonally average shower/storm chances returning late next week. Hopefully the quick ramp up towards EL nino over the next few weeks will help to shake up the pattern and break down the ridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane. Euro is nearly completely dry too I have to believe by May we will be starting to see a pattern change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro is nearly completely dry too I have to believe by May we will be starting to see a pattern change RDU picked up 0.09” on Sunday last week but that was the only measurable rain this month. If models hold and no additional rain is recorded this would move April 2026 into the second driest month ever recorded, behind 0.06” from October 2000.

BooneWX Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago The forests in the western half of NC are littered with dried debris from Helene. It’s a powder keg and I’m afraid one cigarette flung out of a window could cause a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a powder keg and I’m afraid one cigarette flung out of a window could cause a disaster. I’ve been sprinkling the yards recently. The drought in this area and especially to the SW is about the most severe in the entire SE with widespread D3 (extreme) here to D4 (exceptional) in SC GA to NC FL. See map below. Although it’s unpredictable, the good news is that a strong El Niño appears to be on the way. If that verifies, much of the SE should see wet relief by November based on history and long range models: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
