These folks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy down south in the Andes are just getting demolished. You can actually see that snow on the ground, getting blown around, in REAL TIME!!!!! Take a really good look at this vid. Because you are seeing a representation of what DCA is gonna look like come mid Dec 2025 on into early April 2026. Believe it. When you got the Jebman talkin SNOW in early August, what you got here is a sign of an imminently very BAD winter here in the Mid Atlantic only about 18 weeks from now.

Looking at these 0Z models, except the GFS... That would be problematic to say the least.. A repeat of last September simply wouldn't be good.. Except for Debby in August ( some creeks were dry again 3 weeks later ) - the major drought kept widespread problems along the main rivers to a minimum although some local spots had significant smaller creek flood damage....

2025-2026 ENSO

I never got the ACE/Winter relationship. It seems a little dreamy. A caveat is there are probably macro factors that correlate the two variables. Last Winter we did have colder weather after a high Atlantic ACE, with some (although short timed) -NAO and -AO bouts. The top Winter analog years after high Atlantic ACE does have an unusually east-based -NAO Winter, but it could be because of not enough examples. I haven't heard of Winter cold coming after a low ACE season though, and I don't know that it will actually be a low ACE season.. the NAO/AO have been positive thus far, but long range models are trying to neutralize that going into mid-August. These positive AO periods the last 2 years have been complete shut down of Atlantic activity - but that's the macro variable, the +AO. It might be easier and a bit more accurate to run that variable forward. -

High of 81 today.dew point hovered around 70 most of the day and combined with a decent ne breeze, it actually felt good out there for a change. Looks like we will be dropping into the 60's tonight as it is currently 70 at 10:30 pm.

Amazing for the first of August!

Nope! Got close though: 69.9 was the high.

The dew points have gotten down to the upper 40's for part of the time here, with an overnight low-temperature condition of temp: 55, dew point:50. It feels so nice, like the dew points I used to feel out West. It's a change from the seemingly endless 70-75 dew points. I probably should have walked down the street to try to take a better picture of the red sun tonight. I didn't get a good picture. It's the reddest sun since 2023.

I do look at ensembles, and maybe you are correct, but I am still annoyed at how good the ensembles looked for a big February snowstorm and everything went poof. Guess that is the way it goes. WB 18Z Euro is wet again west of the bay, and still raining at end of the run on Friday. WB 18Z EURO ensembles are also wetter through Friday afternoon compared to 12Z.

A steady light rain is falling. Temps are cool. It is so surreal. It is like someone flipped a switch. Very thankful for the blessing of cooler weather.
