All Activity

Reported highs so far: DCA 88 IAD 86 BWI 86 Earlier, LWX's discussion said the highs (all set in 1978) had been 88/85/88.

And yes, that may very well be, but sometimes around here, an isolated severe threat, is the best severe threat if your interested in watching and experiencing an intense storm.

73 to 47 in the last hour. Isn't spring grand.

We're so back!

80s and humidity is a recipe for popcorn cells in our area.

My 7th 80 of the year? something like that? Maybe it's number of 76+. Either way, we had a glacier of snow for a month 6 weeks ago. Nice contrast!

50s and sun is acceptable. Playing hoops in a hoodie is a vibe.

Lol

The more juicy parameters, are hugging, the mason dixon line, and have been struggling to advect north and west throughout the day. That said, I think storm motions could help bring some of that better instability into our area and it feels to me like we should be building some of our own homegrown instability as I write this. That said we we're slightly capped at last glance. With a forcing mechanism so close, I don't think that cap means much. In fact, it may be more a facilitator then a hindrance for severe activity, but I'm still too new at this to speak with much confidence. Edit I meant to say advect north and east, not north and west.

Brief shower knocked it down to 68 here. Models don't have much rain later now.

oh, interesting. Yeah that is cool when that happens. I'm not in the BD aspect - yet.. but it's in the mail. We're synoptically cooling the last 3 hours or so here, but it's reasonable at the moment. Ha, you know the spring has no interest in actually happening when we're getting flogged by a double-sided marital aid -

@cyclone77this is your moment?

78 here. Lots of clouds though which is keeping it under 80.

Hmmm, some boundaries appear to be draped W-E across Reston. Other boundaries are from the Potomac moving west. Could see something interesting things happen.

Bring the 50s with lows in 30s next week and fair weather. Early Spring should feel more like Fall. Too soon for 80s.

not liking this weather i actually had to wear my hoodie opened today it was 70 when i went out this morning that is the normal low for the end of july.i saw many people wearing just shirts..

There’s a synoptic CF and a BD all on radar easily seen on velocity. Pretty cool.

Perfect Jeep weather

Was upper 50’s to near 60 overnight here…so we had a big launching pad. Was 79 at noon here. Huge shower torrential downpour came through…down to 69 now and dropping.

100%!

not that anyone cares if this is clarified but this isn't a bd front. it's a side/N front, and the wind happens to go NNE to NE to E within 12 hours of that particular kind. the whole synoptics over this next 48 hours is moving incredibly fast, too. Big polar high passes by to the N and moves off in time to heat Friday back up... we literally are moving the dial 40+ from air mass type, not diurnal, as a result impressive

Looks chilly mid-late next week. Temps near/below freezing Thursday AM?

You may get a glimpse of it down there if you get a clear view to the S and SE.

If you went to Italy and asked for Gabagoo, they’d slap you.
