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.
-
Obs at IAD have light rain, but here at Merrifield it's just cloudy with maybe three raindrops so far.
-
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.
-
Raindrops on the sidewalk.
-
Thunder to the south
-
Smells like rain but no precip yet. Overcast plus the low dewpoint making it feel downright cool.
-
Ominous clouds to the west of the Fairfax Courthouse. Radar unclear if the rain will hit or miss.
-
Looks like it's going to miss Fairfax City.
