I am NOT predicting anything based on this...but since some want to know what the "book" says... I found some of my old records...using my data back to 2006 then a local coop here back to 1958...

 

 

Good data! How many years are in your date/no snow dataset?

@Eskimo Joe good coverage of y'alls mesonet work in the UMD news: https://today.umd.edu/umd-state-officials-turn-on-first-tower-of-statewide-weather-warning-system?utm_source=Publicate&utm_medium=email&utm_content=...&utm_campaign=Copy+of+-+231103+-+WEB

Gross today. But at least the fall colors are nice

Interesting little section of spin around the circulation quite visible right now: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-SE_Coast-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

also, some crazy wave action at Avon, NC on the OBX: https://www.surfchex.com/cams/avon/

First regional blues I've seen on GFS map this season. 

Got dumped on at 430am in silver spring 

Impressive thunder here in silver spring, from storms to the S and SE. No rain yet 

Nada in Silver Spring, but we at least got the outflow.

Time sensitive, but check it; https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0Q-1-24-100-usa-rad

It's noticeably cooler after it goes by

Please!

It's going to kind of suck, but we know that these temps will followed pretty closely by more of what we're seeing today.

I love summer and hot temps, but once the kids are back in school and the pool closes, I'm ready for 70/50.

Let's hope this is wrong! I agree, I'm ready for 70s

Headed to Charles Town this weekend. Is there any water there? We are supposed to go flat water tubing on the Shenandoah.

Euro and gfs are showing some pretty bad levels of rain for the socal environment re:flooding

UMD closed campus at 3pm, which means I get out of an in-person meeting at 400pm. Thanks nature, please don't shut off my power now.

What's ETA for this baby on the 95 corridor?

Was kind of pleasant with the breeze while it was still overcast on my morning walk. That burned off around 830 and the streets got hot fast.

Guess what four letter word that starts with an 'H' (or 5 letter word that starts w/ an 'S') is coming back to play with us from late today through the next few days? Were you all starting to miss it?

You can see it in a big arc reaching from MN through the midwest to PA... headed our way

Here's the redirect https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?obs=true&center=39.086646,-77.257755&density=1&zoom=11obs_type=precip&precip_interval=24&basemap=OpenStreetMap&boundaries=true,false&obs_popup=true

Thanks, I figured it out. Just needed to cut the crap out of the URL.

https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/ - fixed link

A whopping 0.01 at my closest station.

Beautiful day, but getting crispy here in metropolitan Silver Spring. Rain yesterday basically got the grass wet.

Does anyone have a replacement link for this mesonet site? I used to go here to check local precip totals. https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/gmap.php?zoom=11&extents=38.873459,-77.525547,39.299833,-76.989963&density=1&precip=1&value=P24I

Gloomy day here in Silver Spring, hoping for some 

Surprisingly cool at solar noon in the Silver Spring area with the breeze rolling through. 

This webcam from Cornell is illustrative: https://www.cornell.edu/live-view/

Usually you can see the lake off in the distance -- about a mile away. 

cool vid from Keuka lake: 

Time sensitive, but we have to hope this huge blob headed toward central NJ doesn't drift too far south:

It’s so true. I was honestly shocked when I looked this up the other day.

 

 

Lots of reasons for this, but one big one is that the aggregate vehicle fleet is MUCH cleaner than it was in the 1980s, and much cleaner than it was in 2000s.  All of the hybrids and EVs, and tougher fuel efficiency standards, have really helped. So has the switch away from coal toward burning natural gas for power.

I’ve seen a lot of people with masks, which makes sense.  Driving into work felt like I was in 1970s LA.

Yep, put on a KN95 for the first time in a while this AM for the walk to school with my kid. He has reactive airway disease and was really feeling it, so he also wore one.

They aren't perfect but they stop some of it. Better than nothing.
