GaWx Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The weather has been near ideal from my perspective this week to this point. Much of the last few weeks has been very nice. Today is another great day, but tomorrow will start the increase in dewpoints. It is highly probable that we won't see another extended period similar to this until very late Sept and more likely October. So, I've been taking in every bit of this bonus early springlike period.

NorthHillsWx Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 A good steady soaking rain here this morning. Amounts not crazy, around a third of an inch overnight plus this morning, but the yard and garden appreciates it. EDIT: Looks like 0.37” will be our total from the morning rain. Some returns east of here, not sure they’ll make it this far. More rain than expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calm_days Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wilmington NC 939 AM EDT Fri May 19 2023 .UPDATE... Heavy rain continues over the Cape Fear region, as a mesolow has set up. Both observations and radar estimates show rainfall totals of 4-6 inches over parts of Brunswick and New Hanover Counties over the last few hours. Some estimates and preliminary data even show some spots recording over 7 inches. A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for these areas until noon EDT (this will need more evaluating later). Training mesolow is nearly quasi-stationary at this point, at least another 2-3 inches of rain is possible over the next few hours. Northern extent of the surface low has started to enter the adjacent northeast SC coastal waters over the last couple of hours, seemingly kicking a little further out to the northeast than expected. This would lead you to believe that there would be a decrease in the rain, but latest analysis also shows another nearly vertically stacked low in the 925-700mb layer. This has caused some pretty deep moisture convergence/transport and frontogenesis extending roughly from 1000mb to 700mb, per the SPC Mesoanalysis page. All of this is feeding directly into the Cape Fear region from the ESE. Despite some rather speedy upshear and downshear Corfidi vectors (about 25kts), this strong, deep moisture convergence under the training mesolow means this won`t slow down over the next few hours. && New radar loop image as of just before 3 PM! && Public Information Statement National Weather Service Wilmington NC 454 PM EDT Fri May 19 2023 ...MAX 24-HR RAINFALL ACROSS SOUTHEAST NC - MAY 19 2023...

NorthHillsWx Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 It’s been quite the change in terms of rain from last month to this month. Sitting at just 1.31” for May compared to our total near 11” for April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upstate Tiger Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 53 this morning in Cherryville. Very refreshing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Refreshing dewpoints mainly in the upper 40s/50s have dominated since yesterday morning and are expected to continue through the weekend. This long period of dewpoints this low is rare for this area in late May. The last time something even close to this was in 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 Beautiful day yesterday with a low of 59, high of 72. Had a low this morning of 56. Loving these cool May days. Wish they could last thru June. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 Cloudy, cool, and breezy today. Low of 60, high of only 65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 This area has today gotten much more rain than expected yesterday with ~2" already fallen so far vs <1/2" progged then for the entire day! We even had thunder recently, which hadn't been expected. Temps have been in the chilly mid 50s with N wind gusts into the 30s. The 24 hour high is likely going to be the 12:01 AM's 63, which would be 5 below the 1972 record low high of 68! Normal high is 87. The walks the last few evenings have been fabulous for this time of year with dewpoints in the upper 40s (last evening) to upper 50s! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
