Memorial Day weekend 1996 was like this.

Big jump in humidity. Dewpoint up to 64.

The little ice age has come back.

A couple of dustings and a little freezing drizzle in December, after that absolutely nothing, not even any false alarms, due to continuous warmth (dewpoints above 60 on January 8!!) Edited to add: Dulles' *low* on 1/8/98 was an incredible 62!

Sky growing darker. Looks like it's raining more heavily.

I consider Alaska's southeast coast the worst climate in the country. Today's weather in the DC area is quite possible on the Fourth of July there, except with 40 mph southwest winds. Juneau once had 51 consecutive days with measurable rainfall.

Nonstop light rain since last night Vienna/Fairfax. Feels similar to Memorial Day weekend 1996, which was in the fifties and raining the whole time.

Still warm and muggy. Where's the front??

Now looks like the heavy stuff will pass north of my location. Maybe I can walk home without getting rained on much.

Looks like that stuff due W or NW of Warrenton will hit Merrifield in maybe an hour.

A few cumulus starting to appear in Fairfax City.

Not the day we were promised.

It's starting to sprinkle. Given that yesterday's predicted rain hit a wall in western Fauquier County and vanished, I didn't expect unforecasted showers to get this far east. I wonder if this wil bust the high temps forecast for today.

Starting to feel the humidity. DP 61. Cloudy too, hope that doesn't last.

Rain actually hitting the ground. Radar more active to the SW.
