41.9 for the low, impressive amount of mid 30s in northern piedmont including my farm in Louisburg at 35.5! Won’t see these temps again till next fall

I love these chilly nippy May days

 We’re getting some rain this morning from the N edge of the precip. area. The possibility of rain for today wasn’t even mentioned in the forecast for this far N until late last night as the N edge of rain chances had been forecasted S of here. Temps are in the middle 60s.

Agreed. Something delicious about short sleeves in the 40s this time of year

Low of 48. Chilly walk this morning with the pup.

I am dreading the return of the heat for next week but enjoying the nice days while they last.

Just hope we can get a severe day or two in before the heat really sets in...what a horrible Spring for T-storms...uggg. Midwest cashes in on all the fun weather no matter what season.

 After eating a snack, I’m waiting in my vehicle here at the park to see if the current light rain will lighten up and thus allow for a mainly dry walk. I hope so because walking conditions are otherwise pretty darn good for mid-May with only mid 60 temps, a nice NE breeze, and dewpoints in the mid 50s. Regardless, today was/is very pleasant comfort-wise for mid-May.

Edit: I got the walk in as the rain stayed very light.

Southern Georgia and northern Florida definitely got a beneficial system.

 Any rain is good. And even the clouds, alone, keeping down temps and thus evaporation is beneficial. But the more beneficial rains of the last few days been much more the case further S in S GA in a places like Alma, and Valdosta, as well as in N FL places like Gainesville and especially TLH. I got a very nice 1.2” on 5/2, but only ~0.25” since due to all of the rain periods since being only a couple of hundredths at a time.

Per radar estimates some areas in the exceptional drought north of Jacksonville got 4-7”+ from this system too but like you said a large area of 1-3” was seen across that area south of you in the worst of the worst drought area

This evening it was warm (mid to low 80s), but dewpoints were only in the upper 30s, something sometimes hardly seen in an entire May in this area. So, that along with a decent breeze meant enjoyable walking vs what’s typical for mid May. It was 100% sunny.
