  1. 97/66 at CHO since 2pm. Forecast high was 97 so we might bust a degree or two over
  2. 93/72 at CHO heat index of 101 steamy out there
  3. I thought that looked a little odd but wasn't sure why, appreciate the details
  4. The big heat the GFS is throwing out for the Midwest next week is downright scary. I can't ever remember such a wide swathe being forecast that far over 100 degrees, for 12+ hours in a single day. Lows in KC Tuesday night would be in the upper 90s...
  5. Milky-gray skies with a noticeable burnt wood smell in Cville. Slightly irritating to the eyes/sinuses. Worse than I thought we were going to get it today
  6. @Roger Smith can we get a mid-season update? yes I'm aware I didn't put an entry in this year..
  7. Seems like we're going to have a hard time hitting 100 anywhere in the mid-atlantic this summer. High temp so far in Charlottesville is 94 for July, 91 for June and 88 for May. Fine by me!!
  8. The December 2009 blizzard is seared into my memory. That winter as a whole is really. It was my senior year of HS, living in Falls Church at that point. I had faint memories of the '96 blizzard and clear ones of 02/03 and the Feb 2006 save, but that was just something I had never really witnessed. I think that storm is the one responsible for setting me on the path to weather weenie. I started checking out weather forums around then. And that was all before the onslaught that was to come in Feb lol
  9. Slightly larger than pea-sized hail with the cell that just cross Charlottesville. Best storm of the year so far!
  10. Makes sense that they would put some extra time into the schedule in case something doesn't go as smoothly as planned. Under promise, over deliver
  11. Today's haze is a lot like what I remember growing up with all summer in the 90s/early 00s in NoVA. Bittersweet in a way
  12. Smoke seems to be getting a little lighter at ground level in Albemarle, but it looks as thick as it has all day overhead. Maybe a product of the sun angle at noon? 219 reading to our East at Zion Crossroads (Louisa). The Hollymead sensor on PurpleAir north of town has been reading low the past few days, seems like it's somewhat protected, maybe indoors.
  13. Round Hill or Mordor?
  14. A large part of that is the phone is adjusting it's exposure/white balance settings as it takes each successive photo that then gets stitched into a single image. Your brain does the same but it's subconscious and not frozen in time for easy comparison.
  15. Picked up 0.65" with that line that came across Albemarle between 1-2pm. It really blew up just to our SE. 45k ft echo tops on that cell near Powhatan.
  16. 1hr later: up to 1.99" with the heavy stuff now tapering off
  17. comma head forming over Albemarle? up to 1.62" on the UVA Weatherbug station
  18. Where's the guy with the big green hornworms? Need to see those things hatched to truly get some closure on the disaster winter we had
  19. CHO hit 88 twice this afternoon. At or above 85 from basically 3-5pm. Almost felt like summer today
  20. Nice little band coming over the mountain now that should produce, it dropped snow in Staunton 20 mins ago
  21. yeah but I moved from DCA to CHO 3 years ago. My allegiances have changed!!
  22. Cherry trees are blooming in Cville We hit 70 around 1pm today and stayed there through ~4:30. Beautiful afternoon.
