Pretty cool to see the moon out and distant lightning

Wait, people follow them?

Yay thunderstorms. I was at Tenebrae for Holy Week in Old Town and saw a few flashes of lightning through the stained glass windows of St. Marys. Spring!

My sinuses are starting to act up with the trees blooming. The one downside to a warm spring pattern.

Looks like a very nice soaker on the way for tonight through tomorrow night. Best rains in a loooong time. The degree of the severe threat is a bit questionable. Models show lots of ongoing rounds of precip through much of the day in the warm sector, so instability may be knocked back some. Still a nice setup though overall.

Fingers crossed for a Jan 25th repeat without the warm tongue.

Every storm this year has delivered for me, should bode well for summer.

More heavy rain right now.

If we got normal temps….could be a snowy winter

This is not west based?

Ended up needing an uber

March total 1.58". ...1.8" snow. 17 days of Trace or more. Highest temp 85, lowest 25.

April fools. I was just kidding the whole time fellows .

Booty cheeks showing of moisture and thunder here in silver spring. Got some sprinkles and thunder

I don't know , apparently, this was a pretty decent event so far If you're a tree frog.

No kidding. What a huge bust. .01” rain - fail around 8 am.

Fun day. Had our 3rd tstorm of the day roll thru a few mins ago and another on its heels. Nothing close to severe but they've all been noisy. Popcorn boomers

https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/ocean/index/heat_content_index.txt 100-180W warmth, 0-300m down for Jan/Feb/Mar. 2026: +0.49 / +1.15 / +1.28 Closest Matches since 1979 - all too cold v. CFS/Canadian for US temps in April. 1997/2015 are close - but 1997 is more impressive since it followed multiple cold ENSO years while 2015 followed...a weak El Nino. We've warmed up way faster than 1982 or 2023 as well. 2019: +0.59 / +0.94 / +1.19 2015: +0.15 / +0.83 / +1.52 1997: +0.56 / +1.00 / +1.17 1990: +0.78 / +1.08 / +1.14 Blend: +0.52 / +0.96 / +1.26 You can verify if "El Nino" ish stuff is happening without the US data. Japan maps anomalies monthly with a bit of a lag. https://www.data.jma.go.jp/tcc/tcc/products/climate/climatview/frame.php?&s=7&r=4&d=0&y=2026&m=2&e=4&t=1000&l=5115&k=0&s=7

More chilly weather next week is fine with me but we can't spin up some kind of nighttime system with precipitation for an inch or two of wet snow? Should be plenty cold aloft. What a boring end to a really cool winter. I hope we get three weeks like tomorrow before the summer blow torch develops by Memorial Day.

What a beautiful day it turned out to be! Softball was able to be practiced & played today after all! The rain forecast was, in the words of board legend Ji, a disaster, lol!

Getting clipped here with another shower which has involved a relatively close lightning strike. Fun weather day.

the Wizards just allowed 120 points in 3 quarters (they did score 100+)

First legit thunderstorm of the season, 1.03".
