Im sure Ill sleep good tonight. Its a shame I have to wake up so early.i bet SnoJoe sees some flurries tonight. Man, what a great night. If summer would be like this for 5 months I'd loved it!! Lots of rain, and cold!! Perfect summer night Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Wind really picked up here...getting some pretty good wind readings, 23mph wind gusts recorded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Almost 3/4" so far. Nice storms last night and still pouring a cold rain now. The RUC began yesterday to stall the front, or crawl it once it got just east of the Apps this morning, the other models missed it badly. Looks like another couple hours of heavy to moderate rain, so an inch is possible. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burkecountync Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 1.58 inches of rain here at the Hildebran Weather Station (my new weather station that is now listed on WeatherUnderground). Pretty much everyone in Burke and Catawba County saw over an inch of rain from this system. We really needed it for the garden, now if we can just keep the frost away tonight.

calculus1 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I ended up with a very much needed 1.61 inches overnight!! That was great. If we can just keep that up for the month of May. Low temp this morning was 43.9...awesome!! I agree with Burke above: I don't want frost tonight, but I can't complain about the cool temps.

kanc2001 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 more fail .00" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 more fail .00" sorry to hear that. This front actually way overperformed here in the central and western sections of the Carolinas, the best energy was lifting north, but enough of a tap was still strong while the front slowly moved across the Apps, and it dropped pretty widespread 1" amounts, even 2" amounts in the foothills of NC. I think the overall flow still hasn't been good for the eastern sections but thats probably about to change. The Friday system has a slight chance to produce some rain , probably more chances eastern Carolinas than anywhere else, with strong cyclonic flow and a sharpening vort, but so far the models aren't gung ho on much. Beyond that, a nw to se front will be the focusing mechanism by Sunday and beyond with MCC getting close, and renegade popups under a very muggy and hot airmass. I think that will do eastern sections much better than whats happened the last few months overall. Then, the flow really gets chaotic in the day 7+ range with dual blocking. Still not sure how that shakes out, but it will be good I'm sure...for the Southeast in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Lightly scattered frost throughout the countryside this morning coming to work on roofs and cars. Vegetation should have faired well through this part of the piedmont in the rural areas, saw no evidence of any ground frost. Love clear days and temps in the mid 60's (my definition of ideal weather). It will be Late September/first week of October before we get this refreshing air again so I'm gonna enjoy it. Saw a story where the Mississippi is flowing backwards, because of whats being described as a 1 in 500 year flood. http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/dpp/weather/all-eyes-on-the-mississippi-river-rpt-20110428 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Made it down to 32.3 this morning!! Frost on the rooftops, but very little (fortunately) on the ground. Yesterday was almost cold in the evening. We had a bonfire at church that warmed things up quite a bit. Nothing like lighting an old, dried-up Christmas tree on fire after dousing its base with gasoline!! BOOM!!

EmersonGA Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I got down to 36 at the top of my yard. The bottom sits 20 feet lower so Im sure it was lower. I had frost on the roofs and cars. I didnt notice any on the vegetation but I got out late. Ive never seen it frost like this in May. Now all we need is for Snowstorm2011 to come report that KATL was 50 degrees this morning and start complaining about the warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNCCmetgrad Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks like Charlotte broke their record of 39 with a low of 36 this morning. Only managed to drop to 41 here. Should have stayed down in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this is our last frost. frost here too on the Southside, at least on my barn roof. would not have known it if I hadn't had to do something up there. Don't know what it got down to, didn't reset my minimum, but it was about 41 degrees when I went out at 7:30. sitting at 42.6 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
