    21z?! We’re gonna snow till 5 pm??


    .

    CAMs are hinting at some convective snow showers in that timeframe. So steeper LLLRs and a moist low-level environment would help in that regard.

    Where to post this one? Maybe a quick snow squall Sunday with the Arctic front?

    Long range HRRR remains insistent on a snow squall w/ the front tomorrow morning across most of the region w/ other CAMs hinting at snow shwrs/squalls as well. It currently appears the farther north you are the better.

  6. A little late but I'll just get right into it.

     

    1.) I'd have to pick to April 1st wind event. Got a couple of NW gusts that night to near 60mph which took out a 15-20ft section of the fence IMBY.

    2.) Severe thunderstorm w/ quarter to ping pong ball sized hail, torrential rains and gusty winds on July 14th. The largest hail that I've personally seen in my lifetime so far.

    3.) Peak severe season or rather Canadian smoke season as it turned out to be. Just a strangely quiet May/June severe season locally with smoke (whether elevated or at the surface) seemingly every other day. If we got hit the way NYC got hit on June 7th this would probably rank 2nd or possibly 1st place for me.

     

    Curious in reading your thoughts about 2023 below... if y'all aren't too busy tracking our next winter threat. ^_^

    Just for fun, the wind accumulation product from Windy provides the peak modeled wind gust.  Let's see how they do at DCA:

    NAM 3k (06z):  57mph

    HRRR (13z):  60mph (!)

    GFS (06z):  63mph

    Euro (06z):  49mph

    ICON (06z):  54mph

    Hmmm... HRRR w/ 60mph gusts... interesting. Doubt we gust THAT high locally (stable-layer limiting mixing near the surface, as I know you know) but interesting nonetheless.

  9. "As this great new year of 2023 begins let it be a year of rewarding yourselves, even if it's a small reward, whenever you make a breakthrough with a goal or a dream that you have. Take great care of yourselves this year and don't be afraid to try that one thing or those things that you've wanted to try out for a long while." 

    Happy New Years! Hopefully you had a great 2023 and treated yourselves a bit. Here's to a great and blessed 2024.

  10. Tonights sunset was the earliest of the year. The sun set at 4:47pm est at IAD (time at which 100% of the sun disappears beyond the horizon). Starting tomorrow the sun will start slowly setting later giving us more evening light.
