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.
-
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.
