When the Euro starts making noise, we listen. Watching the Gulf mid month for potential tropical development. Regardless of a named storm or not, a lot of rain and flooding issues could arise.
☔️Well we needed the rain in many areas on the East Coast and the last couple of days did deliver in these locations. On the other hand, areas in the Ohio Valley have had too much and just added to the wetness. Here is a look at some selected amounts that fell since Friday.
FINALLY!
Greensboro got almost 2 inches of rain in just 2 hours at PTI this afternoon.
That's more rain than we've seen all month.
First 1" rain day since February.
Wettest day overall since September.
(I realize other areas got very little, this is just PTI)
Raleigh, NC has now had 3 days this month with a high of 95 or greater. This ties 2019 for the second most in May. Only 1941 with 6 such days has had more. Records here date to 1887.
Stations in NC like @RDUAirport (POR mean date is 6/18) and others in the Mid-Atlantic recorded their 1st 95° of the year yesterday. Here is our #CLIMPER tool with a map:

The forecast 7 day QPF shows a swath of 2-6 inches from the Southern Plains to the Upper Mississippi Valley. A minimum in precipitation is evident across the Southeast. This weather pattern is remarkably similar to the April precipitation anomalies !
