You can really see the easterly flowing kicking in now. Low level clouds streaming west on the eastern horizon and my temperature crashed into the upper 50s right at sunset.

yeah mid 50s here now - extremely pleasant out.

Fantastic out right now.  71 with filtered sun and a modest breeze.

just a phenomenal day today.

looks like 91F on the day - which ties the record set all the way back in..... 2018.

90F at DCA thanks to the W wind today, just a bit delayed lol.

finally some rain!

91/65 here - summmerrrrr

DCA is just rock solid on that S wind.  Will be interesting to see if a 90 squeaked through at some point.

had about a 15-20 min stretch of 32C (89.6F) on the 5 min obs (plus a bunch more times hitting it for 2 or 3 obs in a row), it usually sneaks in there when that happens.

I’d rather be here.

yep - sure it's nice they get more snow and stuff, but the springs up there are god-awful.

lol it's 54F in Boston.  Enjoy spring!!

lol looks like we're gonna do it on a pure south wind - sure, why not.

if DCA can get an hour or so of a more W wind, I think they'll it 90.

80/67 here - definitely feeling like summer.

Caps get swept...

Am I missing something with the frost/freeze advisories tonight? Hrrr and NAM have lows in the 40s even for far N/W burbs?

yeah not buying it for the urban areas - DCA still at 53F.  51F here with some elevation.

41F at DCA, 38F in Tenleytown

I was just in my greenhouse checking on my tomato, pepper, and cannabis plants. I was surprised at how strong the wind is ripping. It must be the new leaves on the trees because it sounds almost sketchy windy. 

yeah it's got that feel tonight

My rule for that is Mt. Airy North Carolina to DC metro in 4-5 hours.

sounds about right

Don't look no, but everyone west of I-81 was just put in a 5% tornado risk overnight.

some nasty storms coming out of NC.

It's wild how we go from the same weather for 6 months straight (40's and low 50's) to basically summer, overnight. When I was a kid, 35 years ago we had four seasons. Now we have two. Fall and summer. 

yep - this is what you'd expect in some place like SC or southern GA.

Temps still near 70F here at 11pm.

mid 60s as we approach midnight - awesome.

I’m okay with NC State beating Duke. They can go no further though.

as a UVA grad of my generation, our rivalry is

VT > Duke > UNC > everyone else

and you’d make a compelling argument to stick JMU in the mix if we could play them more… think it would be good to get them in the commonwealth clash mix somehow.

Yeah this checks out - used to be Maryland until those jerks abandoned us.  I honestly can root for almost any other ACC team, but VT and Duke are tough.  I'll only pull for them if it's against and SEC team or they are basically the last ACC team left standing.  I'll be pulling for NC State against Purdue - but I still think everyone is just lining up for the chance to get crushed by UConn.
