  1. 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/
  2. 30 mph peak gust and 0.6" though it would look better as 6+ inches of drifting snow
  3. 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.
  4. 3.12" yesterday, largest one-day amount in many years
  5. recent days have demonstrated how smoke vs clean air can lower ground-level air temperatures
  6. 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?
  7. one of the better Cumulonimbus sightings of my life as an anvil topped cloud moves in from the west
  8. 38C just doesn't have the drama of 100F
  9. 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.
  10. Would be nice to do pollution control without letting in more sun and heat.
  11. given recent tendencies, sounds like that means sprinkles Saturday and actual rain Sunday
  12. the cluster now in WV is headed our way, but will is survive the mountains?
  13. 52 for the max today, not bad for March
  14. late snow? May 11, 1977 comes to mind
  15. 0.43" yesterday to bring April's total to 1.93"
  16. Down to 28 this morning W of BWI. I have no memory of a spring freeze around here after Apr 21.
  17. I prefer GIFs to javascript-driven sites like Tidbits because javascript comes with so much baggage. Coolwx has GIF of the GFS at http://coolwx.com/ptype/movie.gif
  18. final freeze of the spring for the airports tonight?
