I hear thunder. At least that’s a step in the right direction.

30-yr average at DCA is 10.65" for M-A-M. Lowest recently was 6.49" in 2023. 1986 is the modern times dud at 3.47". Most of the region is in the 4-7" range since March 1st, but DC to Annapolis and south are in worse shape. DCA is sitting at 3.72" and there are even spots in Calvert County and across the Bay that are ~2". There has not been a sub-6" Spring since 2006, so we are in rare territory if we don't get some substantial rain in the next 3 weeks.

Got a few drips. Hope more pops up to the SW.
-
DPs in the mid-30s at the airports and mid-30s to near 40 on the mesonet. Makes for a pleasant day outside, but certainty doesn't help the dryness.
-
0.90” in the past month. Not great.
-
Coverage looks good, but intensity is relatively weak. Garrett Co looked like they were in a good spot and they have all of 0.15” per the mesonet.

My grass is fairly lush right now despite the dry and hard ground. The moderate temps are helping slow the moisture loss, but once it heats up it’ll be toast like normal.
-
Currently running at my low year-to-date precip over my 13-year CoCoRahs record. Not great.

Damn fine evening yesterday for my Wild and Timberwolves.
-
I still love Jaden for getting under Denver's skin.
-
0.13", but at least I (barely) crossed the 1" mark for April. Hope Wednesday delivers.
-
Not a drop.

I didn't have a language problem. The barrier was mostly with clerks at stores and then you can figure things out without verbal language. The translate apps on the phone help a lot with signs.

I'm really only familiar with the part of Switzerland that I've been to, but the Alps obviously cross several borders. If I were particularly focused on soaking in the Alps, I might have gone to Zermatt and done the Glacier Express train and the gondola. For a shorter trip without a car, I would have probably based in Interlaken, Switzerland and take the train into Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald/etc.
-
Can confirm graupel here too. Fun.
-
Yeah, on the HRRR and NAM 3k everyone gets something, but the lower totals are around 0.05".
-
IAD also. DCA river winded and dropped back into the mid-80s, so unless there is a later wind shift, they may just tie.
-
Each of the stations tied the record at the 1pm ob. 89.2 at home.
-
We are on record high watch today. DCA: 89 BWI: 88 IAD: 87 I'm running ahead of the airports right now, already 78.3.
-
Dead on 70.0 for the high at my house.
-
30.4. Lots of 20s on the MD mesonet.
-
We had originally intended to do Zermatt and do the Italy trip that you note, but we were hitting multiple countries and had limited time in Switzerland. We ended up choosing Lauterbrunnen as a base and went up to Jungfraujoch for my high-altitude fix. The Eiger Express aerial tram is a smooth piece of engineering. Still hope to do northern Italy and the Matterhorn at some point in my life.
-
Special for you, the mountains of Switzerland. Amazing up here.

I just filled up a small SUV in Germany for $120. Cost of travel and all, but ouch.

Checking in from abroad to see that I got 0.01” at home yesterday, which tracks.
