We look at the latest drought maps and the statistical probability of ending the drought this year.Is a Super El Niño Coming?: Greg Fishel breaks down his fascinating research into the Relative El Niño Index (RONI). We explore the unprecedented data swing from a cold La Niña to a potentially historic "Super El Niño" and what it actually means for the Atlantic hurricane season.Podcast Housekeeping: Get a sneak peek at our upcoming interview with the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) about their new intensity categories, plus an update on our 24/7 Carolina Weather Net streaming platform featuring next-gen AI voice alerts.🤝 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & GET PERKS📹 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmhGiYbMDccQcdSjpf87nGg/join🧢 MERCH: https://carolinaweathergroup.qbstores.com/💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com 🌤️ ABOUT THE CAROLINA WEATHER GROUPThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.

| 5/28/26 | ![]() Tracking Wildfires with WatchDuty, Charlotte's Radar Void & Weekend Forecast | Ep. 585 | This week on the Carolina Weather Group, we are joined by David Bilstrom, a volunteer reporter for the WatchDuty app. David explains how the free app uses collaboration and various data signals to monitor wildfires, relay evacuation notices, and track firefighting aircraft in real time. He also shares his insights on building "Firewise" homes and reacts to the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety's wind-driven fire experiment. Also in this episode:The Drought & The Deluge: We review recent heavy rainfall across the Carolinas, including some staggering totals of up to 12.7 inches near Lake Murray. While the rain was beneficial to the region, it did not entirely end the ongoing drought. Charlotte's Radar Gap: We dive into the frustration race fans experienced during the Coca-Cola 600 at the Charlotte Motor Speedway when rain disrupted the event despite barely showing up on radar. This phenomenon was caused by precipitation falling below the radar beam from the 88D, which sits over 5,000 feet high. Weekend Forecast: Panelist Frank Strait shares the upcoming forecast, highlighting a cold front that will bring cooler, less humid air to North Carolina by Friday. Hurricane Season & Tropics: The panel discusses NOAA's outlook for an average or slightly below-average hurricane season, while cautioning that "it only takes one" major storm to make it a bad year. Frank also addresses the GFS model's hints at early June tropical development. Too Many Tabs: We explore new moving traffic cameras available on DriveNC.gov, review ongoing I-40 repairs from Helene, and discuss ways the public can provide feedback on NOAA Weather Radio and the COOP observer network. Join us next week when we talk to the Storm Prediction Center about their new severe weather intensity categories!🤝 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & GET PERKS📹 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmhGiYbMDccQcdSjpf87nGg/join🧢 MERCH: https://carolinaweathergroup.qbstores.com/💸 LEAVE A TIP: https://streamelements.com/carolinawxgroup/tip🎙️ SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather🔔 SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/carolinaweathergroup💻 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://carolinaweathergroup.com 🌤️ ABOUT THE CAROLINA WEATHER GROUPThe Carolina Weather Group operates a weekly talk show of the same name.
