https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=nrnmidat-02-24-1 You can see it in a big arc reaching from MN through the midwest to PA... headed our way

another "top of the grass blades moistener" type rain here near downtown silver spring. we'll take it though
-
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: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-Mid_Atlantic-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

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.

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. The sky over the middle school just east of downtown Silver Spring around 845am:

Seems to still be true this am

Salvaged a day in Cape Charles, cloud cover and a breeze but no rain. Temps only in the mid sixties so not exactly beachy. It's very dry down here. Not for long!
-
Fantastic. This has to be a good omen for winter 23-24 snow totals.
-
Good thing we booked a house in Cape Charles VA for the weekend! Maybe we'll get tropical storm winds.
-
I noticed it yesterday AM.

10 day forecast looking pretty dry on the globals (and the ensembles).

Smoke plume is very visible on GOES: https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=nrnmidat-02-24-1 Agreed. I vividly remember an extremely dark brown smoke haze in either the summer of 2002 or 2003 in Central PA when I was a teenager. Fires in Canada, I think. It was so bad it made the news.

First "hot" feeling morning here this year. Here's to 100 more!

Rather large ice pellets in a brief shower in Silver Spring after 1pm.

Anyone want to recommend a decent weather station in the $100-$300 range? Looking for rain gauge, wind, UV, the basics.

Got a few sprinkles over the weekend but no substantial rain. Shady areas still have a good deal of soil moisture, but things are drying out as the sun gets stronger. I had planted a few small trees hoping for a rainy spring and I find myself dumping hose water on them---blech.
-
At least it's breezy?
-
Had to wait until April 3rd and travel about 700 miles to finally walk on snow this winter; visiting the in-laws near Hancock, ME. Some snowpack left in north-facing and shaded areas from the big storm they got in mid-March. Pic of small frozen lake with glacier covered sandy beach attached!
