  1. there are these white things in the sky
  2. SSWs would be more exciting if we knew displaced polar air was headed our way, but we don't, at least not yet. The cold and snow might just as easily wind up elsewhere.
  3. This is the most potential we've seen for a snowy winter in many years. That's enough to keep me interested. How much snow would it take at the airports this winter to bring the 2011-2026 annual average back up to "normnal"? Lots.
  4. radar suggests the eye remnants are now over Maryland
  5. What are "swooping hodographs," other than a great name for a rock band according to Dave Barry?
  6. there's merely a one letter difference between rainfall and rainfail
  7. 0.33" for the event so far hey, who gifted that big L a Sit 'n Spin?
  8. We might get the mega Nino with a negative PDO. What's the most recent winter that combo happened?
  9. thunder has reached the BWI area, so much for the mid 90s that Accuweather had us for today
  10. warm evening for September, 80s at 10pm
  11. there have been mass releases of Wolbachia-infected mosquitos in the DC region this year https://wtop.com/montgomery-county/2026/06/silver-spring-business-releases-600000-infected-mosquitoes-in-dc-area/
  12. 30 mph peak gust and 0.6" though it would look better as 6+ inches of drifting snow
  13. Watches and warnings of many types are issued far more often than 50+ years ago. Everyone in my family has turned off weather alerts on their phones due to the excessive number issued. Sadly, the alerts have become more noise than signal due to their quantity.
  14. 3.12" yesterday, largest one-day amount in many years
  15. recent days have demonstrated how smoke vs clean air can lower ground-level air temperatures
  16. When the dew point is below freezing, does a sling psychrometer still function properly? I would think the wet bulb would ice up. That would both release latent heat and reduce evaporation, thus distorting the wet bulb measurement, no?
  17. one of the better Cumulonimbus sightings of my life as an anvil topped cloud moves in from the west
  18. 38C just doesn't have the drama of 100F
  19. There was a reason the higher-elevation NW burbs became popular for housing after the railroad but before AC. The adiabatic lapse rate is your friend.
  20. Would be nice to do pollution control without letting in more sun and heat.
  21. given recent tendencies, sounds like that means sprinkles Saturday and actual rain Sunday
