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 !

Yes. Very interesting and look at the @ILMairport threaded record and the wettest June-May was in 1877-1878.. @NWSWilmingtonNC @BenNollWeather @NWSEastern

Even though some areas have seen a bit of an uptick with the number of days with rain lately, it has really been a while for many areas since we last saw a month finish with above normal precipitation. At some locations you would have to go back to last May to achieve that.

As we enter into the last 20 days of Spring across the southeast there are a few stations on pace for the driest March-April-May on record. sercc.oasis.unc.edu/Map.php?date=2… For @RDUAirport they need 2.05 to tie 2021 or 2026 will be #1. @NWSEastern @NCSCO @NWSRaleigh @katcampbellwx

It's been a dry start to 2026 across the Southeast. This past month did not help as it one of the drier Aprils on record. For several locations, the total precipitation for January through April of this year ranks as the driest 4 month such period ever recorded.

With this mornings rain for @iflyCHS their 23 days of no measurable rain is over.. The T-17th longest streak all time and for a date in springtime(MMA) T-5th longest.. @NWSCharlestonSC @NWSEastern @mlgriffinWX1 @postandcourier @SCDNR weather.gov/wrh/timeseries…

@tommeinerstv check out our #CLIMPER tool and here are the rankings of rain across the #CONUS since 10/1 or what we call Water Year to Date(10/1-4/23). sercc.oasis.unc.edu/Map.php?date=2…

@JimCantore Here are the latest #Georgia @drought_center numbers and I filtered only Apr dates and highlighted the past highest values(D1-D4) for individual year. @gaclimateoffice @weatherchannel Check out the D3-D4(2012 best analog for Apr) number you said on air. @NOAADrought

A dry weather pattern has also resulted in a very quiet spring severe weather season. Looking back each year through today's date, we have issued the fewest number of Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings since 2015. #ncwx

#NorthCarolina with the driest October thru March on record, dating back to 1895. Yet, only 22% of the state is in extreme drought, compared to 70% for FL and GA, which each saw their 3rd driest such period. Is the drought in NC actually worse than depicted in the latest #USDM?

‼️ATLANTA RECORDS EARLIEST 90 TODAY‼️ ➡️Today's high temperature of 90°F in Atlanta is the earliest 90°F since records here began in 1878. ➡️The previous record for earliest 90°F was on April 23, 1980 when the high was 91°F. #gawx

@BigJoeBastardi Been working on a project to catalog all surveys completed in real time and eventually make a public dashboard of those completed surveys.. As of the last survey I received via the #IEM survey google group we have had 320 verified tornadoes so far this year..

Tornadoes right at the average for the date. Should get pumped up this afternoon and tonight, and even more later next week

DYK that @NOAANCEI estimates how much rainfall you would probably need in order to end drought? ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitor… Lot's of places in the south need at least a foot of rain over the next month in order to end drought conditions. @spann @ryanhallyall @MaxVelocityWX

Hey @wxbrad if you used our #CLIMPER tool to look at past Streaks of 90°+ in April for @CLTAirport Area data record. Forecast calls for 88°-92° the next 4 days.. sercc.oasis.unc.edu/StreakPerspect… @NWSGSP @NCSCO @NOAANCEI @NWSEastern #cltwx #ncwx

Some early 90°+ max temps. are headed to the region. For the @RDUAirport Area data the longest April Streak of 90°+ is 7 days back in 1941. The most recent streak was in 2002 at 3-days. sercc.oasis.unc.edu/StreakPerspect… Change the Station ID in URL to check the AP near you.. @NWSRaleigh

Thanks @wxjerdman for the #CLIMPER Love.. Here is the URL to the map that Jonathan showed.. Between 11am-12pm edt. the station in the west will start to display so refresh this link.. sercc.oasis.unc.edu/Map.php?date=2…
