Storm of the year in DC near Union Station. Surprising amounts of wind. No visibility

Hi I’m @JiWhere the hell are these afternoon soakers in January and February!?

I finally got a tenth of an inch of rain today. It's starting to get mighty dry around the Valley. Hopefully we'll see more chances the next several days.

Maybe not? Point remains, though.

You get screwed almost every time the low/mid level winds are westerly. I don't recall the exact setup back in June when your area was getting clobbered, but I bet the winds were from the E/SE.

I do believe Newark is representative of its area but not for our area as a whole. You just have to look at the summer of 1993 to see that. Although Newark's hottest summers match my own area's they are always a few degrees hotter. In 1993, Newark had 9 100+ days while NYC had 3 (in a row) and JFK had 2 (in a row.) This was before the siting issues. You can even go back to 1949 when Newark had 8 100+ days while NYC had 5 99+ days. Newark has almost always been a few degrees hotter than Central Park, even before the siting issues. As a matter of fact, going by number of 90 degree days, Newark closely matches Philadelphia, so I'd say their summer climate is more like Philadelphia than it is New York City-- which makes sense, since it is inland.

DC is hit everyday

Letting up a bit after a solid 25 minute deluge.

Yup, I'm trying to slow roll my cigar so it lasts til the storms arrive. I could see 2-3" out of this. Phew. I hope the tulip trees are ok. Oooo, lightning and intense thunder just over my house right now. Wow it's loud.

Never even got out of the car haha poured as soon as arrived. Big time rains up here

ugh I was going to do some landscaping work in my yard tomorrow lol. when you said sea breeze minimal I thought you meant it was going to be hot lol From what I looked at, it's going to rain both Thursday and Friday and cloudy Saturday, so no sunshine after today until Sunday?

I'm hearing thunder to my west and it's getting pretty dark. It looks like it might be a rough evening in the lowlands. Nice lol

Weather app has clouds and showers 9 of the next 10 days

yep hit 89 here after 4 PM that was unexpected lol Usually on a seabreeze day we peak before 2 PM

Areas south and east of me getting poured on right now. The VIL near Rocky Hill is legit.

Damn. Hell of a storm right now. Not a lot of wind but a shitload You f rain and T&L

Got to 89 here, just missed 90.

Can your wife help ?

Omg I passed out that summer from the humidity. There were two very hot days in May and then one on the last day of August the only times it reached 90. But the day I passed out was not hot, but very humid. My nightmare kind of a day. Overcast all day with a temperature of 81 degrees and a relative humidity of 100% (81 DP). Do you remember this day Chris, I think it was in July? I was commuting back from college and as soon as I got home I got very lightheaded couldn't hear a sound saw all white in front of my eyes and everything around me was in slow motion. Luckily I was almost home and was able to stumble inside and pass out on my floor.

Over 2” in under a hour with more to come. Definitely some flooding going to be occurring across parts of the state. We grabbed 1.41” earlier from the lone cell in AA Co. Should crack 2” in total once this batch from the southwest blows through

For as strong as the SPV was last year there was very little connection at times to the TPV throughout the winter otherwise we would have progressed volume wise fairly similarly to the early 2020's.

This would have been a solid sea ice retention year the way things have progressed so far but we are starting at such a low point unfortunately you will continue to be well below normal even in the best of times. I think if the pattern holds we should escape some of the lowest values recorded but not a good situation continues to get worse. Look at where we are volume wise compared to the last few years, which have shown some of the lowest values outside of 2007/12

VERY dark in silver spring with bolts and loud thunder cracks. Edit: My backyard fireflies are blinking like it is 9:00 p.m. lol

Radar looks pretty.ominous for the storms coming in to st Mary's county. Sitting on the front porch in Calvert waiting for them to roll across the river. Can already hear thunder. It's gonna be heavy.

Rain gauge is at 2.30 and counting. Wildly heavy downpours, but slacking up a little now. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVASTERL168
