High 76 low36. Precip 0.59”

My brother lives in Urbanna Virginia north of you and just called reporting heavy snow

Idk but screw them I got up from a meeting to look outside just to see more rain. It was probably Bradford pear blossoms blowing in the wind

76 at midnight currently 71.1 let’s see how far we can drop. Going to be a dynamic day!

It’s like whatever they did after it broke the “all time record” when basically no one else was within 3 degrees fixed it…

Ladies and gentlemen- we have broken 90 at my house, earliest of my life and possibly the earliest in history. Made it to exactly 90.0. It is currently 89.8

RDU up to 89, can they make it to 90? Probably have about 30 min left to do it

Lots of 90s from Raleigh- east. Currently 88.5 here and that’s our max same as yesterday so far. Remarkable, even some 90s into Virginia right now including just south of Richmond. Historic heat

As winter technically runs through March 20 today’s 90-burger has to be factored into this years winter

We’ve jumped to 87.4 since

85.2 here at 12:30

75 already at 10 am… we’re going to be close to 90. Started at 59. Crazy tomorrow at this same time we could be near freezing

If this pattern materializes in summer I’m worried the pavement will turn into molten magma

Just think we could’ve been locked into this heatwave in January like the rest of the northern hemisphere

That’s what’s impressive about this, these aren’t just record breaks, these are destructions

Cold yes but really just two one day cold snaps and nowhere near as impressive as what’s been going on with this heatwave! We have set 3 record highs, 2 record high minimums already and tomorrow the point click has been upped to 89. We had 88.5 this afternoon here, which was nearly 6 degrees above the forecast and 7 above the RDU record! For the piedmont looks like Friday morning will be around freezing and one night around freezing and one night in the upper 20s next week before it warms up. Hardly a historic event, but a significant shock after this stretch of summer in early March. If RDU hits 90 tomorrow it will be exactly 2 months before average, as the average first 90 reading of the season is May 11… RAH commented that this weather and heights are more typical of early July!

88.5! It’s back down to 85.5 but that is the warmest reading since last summer

83.5 at the moment. RDU is sitting at 84 so the daily record has already been broken. That’s 3 records in the last week EDIT: we’ve shot up to 85.1 and still rising

GFS drives 850s below freezing much sooner than anything else. Not much difference synoptically or in surface depiction between it and anything else. Just way too quick with post frontal CAA east of mountains with the passage of the strong arctic front. I could see flakes mix in somewhere in Virginia but this will not be more than that (and mountain snow). Not really worth over analyzing, GFS just defies physics while other models understand cold is delayed by the mountains

Extremely active storm track but fortunately it seems west of here for the near future. Possibly a significant tornado day in Texas and maybe even Illinois today. If energy keeps rising from Texas to Michigan we will keep catching tail end of systems with highest severe threats when they are this week west of here

If RDU hits 90 tomorrow it will not only break the daily record, it would be the earliest 90 degree day in RDUs history. The average first 90 degree day for RDU is May 11, if that puts into perspective how impressive that would be. I’m not saying it will happen but with a forecast high of 87 it would not take much to come close

Tomorrow is a real threat to push 90 degrees in areas. My point click is showing 87. Record high for the date is 85. Today’s forecast shows 82, with the record to beat being 81. It is starting out cooler than forecast though, currently sitting at 51

It snowed in Charlotte on st Patrick’s day I think 2014? Was there for the bar crawl (I was younger) and woke up to snow

RDU got to 63 just before midnight but still beat the record by 3 degrees. That’s a daily high record and daily high minimum so far during the warm spell. Tuesday and Wednesday look very likely to further rewrite the record books for the area. We picked up 0.16” total yesterday and are sitting at a “cool” 55.9 right now

Made it up to 77.8 before the rain rolled in, picked up 0.12” from a heavy shower and it has since cooled to 66.4 which equals our morning low
