Just a wee bit of a drop in the dewpoint and relative humidity over a four minutes period at IAD this evening.

IAD now at 77/58 temp/dewpt at 4:12pm edt on Friday, March 15, 2019

Well south and east appears to be the site for any action this PM. 

I'm wondering whether anything will try to pop up along the front northwest of I-95 looking at recent satellite trends. Not necessarily talking anything too big but perhaps at least some t-showers.

12-24 inches of hail. 

I mean Denver can do that in the summer.....

Everyday we see this kind of weather more winter weenies go into hibernation.

All this talk is nice, but once the 97 inches of snow fall over the sites over the next 20 days show me and myself will be left battling it out.......

Hopefully in the form of back to back snowicanes with snowrechos in between.

Some wet pixie dust with veiled sunshine here (Herndon, VA for those on smartphones). You know what they say about when it rains while the sun is shining... a baboon is giving birth. I wonder what is happening if it's snowing with sunshine?

38F/22F temp/dewpt here.

Even in low activity years - it only takes a single day/event to really make a or break our severe season around these parts. A region-wide significant squall line can make a season pretty memorable. Though I'd like multiple storm days ideally. 

Thunderstorms are one of the few redeeming qualities about triple H weather around here. 

(August 26, 2003) (June 4, 2008) (June 29, 2012) all featured a good MCS for at least a good portion of the region... June 29, 2012 obviously being the best area-wide event (except for the Maryland/Pennsylvania line).  

Starting to hear a few pingers in Herndon.

I apologize for this seemingly basic question but:

On the correlation coefficient radar are values closer to 1.000 either all rain or all snow correct (1.000 meaning precip is near 100% the same type)?

Honestly I'm just in watching the radar nowcasting this.

Happy First Day of Meteorological Spring everybody!

This snow just came in like a wall. Maybe 5 minutes of flurries than dump.

That band on final approach towards you looks like a thumpanzee.

March is starting. Have some honeydew and banter.

Happy Meteorological spr- oh......okay.

Actually it looks like IAD only gusted to 57mph today.

Actually IAD DID gust up to 58 mph after all.  Oops.

Did Jebman hack your account?

It's worse than that... he somehow hacked into my brain. I think he installed a virus!  I'm okay though, it's been resolved, for now.

Washington Dulles Int'l Airport gusted to 58mph at 10:17am est.

IAD: 0.0”

If it were offered to me I would take 287" of snow next month. I would like it to come in the form of a weekly BECS with hurricane force winds along with very strong ns shortwaves that bring snowrecho after snowrecho between the BECSs with life-giving snowfall rates. The arctic fronts need to feature tornadic supercells that drop EF-5 tornadoes everywhere ahead of them. Pecos Hank and Reed Timmer will come over chasing and stop by my backyard and frontyard for a barbecue. We'll meet up with Jim Cantore to go storm chasing the superthundersnowcells and drive way too close to the tornadoes and have the ultimate adrenline-pumping death match in the bear-cage. Then, well get caught up in the updraft for the ultimate FREE roller coaster ride. When we land (alive because of all of the snow on the ground cushioning the fall) we will go out and have a beer or twenty (though I don't drink) then go dancing outside on top of the glacierized snowdrifts in Category 5 Hurricane Andrea's 20"+/hr snowfall rates with 180+ mph winds. Then after all that I'll finally wake up and realize that I still have to finish my cruel, grueling, life-draining coding projects for school.

Otherwise I'll just take a single HECS (or any snow really (not uber picky)) and call it a winter.

Going to be one of those days where we spike to 60 for like 10 mins before the front and then plummet right behind isn’t it?

Might actually spike a bit just behind the front with downsloping before the plummet. #notanexpertopinion

I know this is not our region but... the things that I would do to be able to be under a band like this.

Verbatim there would be life-giving snowfall rates with Thor running and dancing around in absolute glee.

Ice is building on trees and shrubs down this way (NW of FXBG) not so much on roads/sidewalks. Temp has actually fallen back to 30.8 on weather station. Was up at 32.0

I think Ian just retweeted your twitter post.
