I wouldn't mind a whole summer with the dewpoint never topping 60.

Sprinkles popping up IMBY. Small red cell in Takoma Park/Langley Park MD.

Is it possible that May will be cooler than April?

70, dewpoint 32! Christmas in Phoenix!!

This arctic air mass has punched way to the south: the dewpoint at Miami is down to 61!

Started to rain around 12:30 last night so I checked the radar. Huge red blob in southern Fairfax/PW counties. Northwestern tip of it touching I66 in western Fairfax. I only got light rain and one distant rumble of thunder. It looked like the blob might hit DCA but checking this morning, they just got a few hundredths too.

Isn't there a rule at NWS to be very, very conservative when predicting rain during a drought?

Yellow-with-dots-of-red area in Fairfax County came out of nowhere on radar; an hour ago it looked like light rain with a gap to the SW.

Brown grass is pretty usual in September and October if all the tropical cyclones miss us, but I don't ever remember seeing it in May. It must have happened in May 1969, which had only four days with measurable rain, but I was a toddler at the time.

We got through summer in less than a month, now welcome autumn!

Moderate rain in Vienna! Hasn't rained that hard here since April 5.

The rain bands had been moving SW to NE, but it looks like they've shifted to W to E. Some yellows on the path to hit Fairfax.

Doesn't look like it will get to 68 today as forecast. IAD topping out at 59 so far.

Feels like a wedge this morning.

Sun came back out. Neither the NWS nor the WeatherBug radars seem to be all that accurate as to where the rain is actually hitting the ground.
