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.
-
Radar shows rain, but doesn't look like any is reaching the ground at GMU.

Just light sprinkles in Fairfax City. I can't see locations on mobile; I assume it's only the high mountains that are getting actual snow.
-
It was sunny here in Vienna until a few minutes ago. High cloud overcast and white sky.
-
This year has been a refreshing change from the chilly, wet Aprils we often get. The sunshine and low humidity is reminding me of 1985, the most pleasant April in my memory.
-
Light fog lifted fully by 8:20.
-
Clear sunrise, but sudden fog in Fairfax City.
-
IAD barely touched 32, and not till *after* sunrise.
-
Persistent NW wind keeping the temps from dropping. IAD went from 39 to 46 in the last hour!
-
Starting to rain, real summertime humidity.
-
Little patches of blue sky finally, in Fairfax City.
-
It was in the sixties when I left the house, and I assumed the temperature would hold steady all day. Didn't expect it to get this nippy.

Rainy, dark and dreary.
