Pretty interesting night for temps. Just after 2am I hit a low of 75. We then had some westerly winds kick in an this raised temperatures to 84 degrees at about 4:30 am. The winds have calmed and Temps are falling again as I am sitting at 80. Pretty wild. 

61 degree low was so refreshing. When the dews came down I just realized how much I hate the high dew points even more. Have a great Sunday everyone 

Out here, just southwest of Purcellville, I am sitting at 1.58 inches of rain for the last 31 days! The storm two nights ago dumped almost an inch of rain less than 1 mile from my home! Yesterday, the storms literally split around me and I ended up with .04" . I submitted the information to the Climate office. Meanwhile, friends of mine in the eastern part of Loudoun saw 8+ inches of rain in June and over 3 inches the last week! I have brown grass and a dusty dry yard! 

Seeing 92 on my weather station! Heat indexes bouncing between 95 and 96.. HOT one! 

33.1 for a low in Purcellville, and the coldest windchill was 22 at about 6:15 am. Impressive for this time of year. Potential sprinkles ane flurries in the forecast. Brrr

Down to 39..cold Winds a blowing. Wind chills in the upper 20s.

38 here last night. Crazy to have so many 30s in the forecast over the next several days! 

Wow. 37 here 

Colder Than expected. 

Not too exciting. Bit of wind and some quick heavy rain. Heard one thunderclap here in Purcellville. This is quickly moving on, but was not just a rain shower.. had winds in the upper 30s briefly.

Soupy out there for sure. Occasional sun in Purcellville with a temp hovering around 74 for a while. DP of 68

As soon as I type that, we get a SVR with tornado possible tag just east of Elkins, WV and there's better clearing in the WV panhandle and western MD.  Maybe there's a window for one or two good segments still.

I just happened to read that warning and it was estimating winds to 80mph possible! WOW!

Message from friends who have been trying to get back home to Maryland. They ducked into a Marina in Southport, NC  yesterday. 

 

"Tornado just ripped thru the area about 10 miles from us - we had to stand in front of the door to the sun deck to keep it from being blown open shearing the lock. 2 vessels near us lost all 

canvas ( Bimini tops that they did not take down and secure ) and a sail boat at end of pier that did not secure the main sail - broke lines holding the sail and it is now flopping/shredding in the wind."

Wow! Glad they are ok!

Just a note! Eastern NC is lit! Wow!

LWX thoughts

Potential still exists for a second round of showers and
possible thunderstorms to develop in the 15Z-18Z time frame, but
this isn`t completely certain it will happen. Hi-res models are
in disagreement with convective coverage with the HRRR showing
mainly shallow convection and the Hi-Res ARW and the NSSL WRF
ARW showing scattered deep convection in the form of short lines
or bowing segments. The 12Z IAD sounding showed two inversions
with one from sfc to 850 mb and second one from 750 to 700 mb
and corresponding high LFC or Level of Free Convection abv 700
mb. With best 3-hr pressure falls and height falls occurring
over western and north central MD in the 15Z-18Z time frame,
this is where I would expect the best chance of deep convective
development rest of today. Regardless of convective coverage and
intensity, strong gradient winds of 45 to 55 mph will occur
outside of showers except greater than 57 mph in southern MD
where 50kt have already been reported. The risk of convection
will be winding down after 18Z and should be over by 21Z if not
sooner.

"Only" 0.99" so far out here in Purcellville. That extra heavy rain went east of me this morning. Lull for now as we await round two in a few hours.

Stay safe all!

Flurries all over Loudoun currently... I have a few out here in Purcellville.

Potential is definitely starting to show some focus.  SPC highlighting Marginal next two days. HRRR going a bit crazy (notoriously).. We will see. Could be an interesting few days nonetheless. 

I would care more if we were tracking snow.

At today’s press conference, both doctors asked anyone who has travelled from NYC metropolitan area in the past week to self-quarantine for 14 days.  More than half the new cases in the US are in New York and they are concerned about people spreading it from New York.  

Well, maybe people aren't traveling as much.... Ya! Right!

70s Monday?

I have seen/read this story again and again this season...... it will disappear by early next week..

Thunder and lightning. Heavy rain off and on with showers. Winds kind of picked up too

you can get snow with bad AO as you said but something has to be good. Usually a postive AO yields a positve NAO but you can still get a good -EPO. If not...maybe a PNA but none of the cold is going to last and you probably have a cold/dry. But you cant have them all bad and thats what we had this year. If we have one indicie..were at least in the game

Only in NC!

Is this workable?
