It is trying just west of DC. Not sure if we'll get the upscale growth that Frederick Co did.- 1,446 replies

Two SVR warnings now SE of DC. Throwing off a little gust front to the north, so we'll see if anything can happen with that.- 1,446 replies

If we are at the coping stage, at least the atmosphere isn't "worked over" by the time the later round gets here.- 1,446 replies

Based on the CAMs, we were all hoping that this would be a two-round day, with discrete cells out front before the organized stuff gets here later. We just didn't get initiation and now have to wait for the stuff in Ohio to come together. 18z HRRR brings it in around 10pm, but there is a risk of it being south.- 1,446 replies

The HRRR wanted initiation to happen already, but so far there is only one new cell up west of Gettysburg. Things can change quickly in this environment, though.- 1,446 replies

2009-2010 was the warmest Canadian winter on record (to that point).
-
0.47”. I’ll take it, but we desperately need a region-wide soaker.
-
Yes, via my metrics of if it is loud enough to bother the dogs. I’ve heard thunder in the distance this year, but no close strikes until today.

Thunderstorm #1 of 2026 confirmed!

92/79 for a 109 HI

The rain that fell last week around DC wasn’t enough to keep up with climo. DCA now -7.44” ytd.
-
I don't know about vanished. I just drove into Tysons and it still pretty gross. AQIs are hovering around 200 in the western Beltway area.
-
Yeah, it is bad, but it is not as awful as 7-8am. I'm down to 191. Hopefully any additional pulses won't equal this morning's mess.

The specific smell is what I remember from a few years ago. Not a campfire smell, but an acrid, completely unpleasant smell. My AQI is hovering around 300. IAD and DCA are near 1 mile visibility.

Scrolling around trying to find the worst ob. Philly's 95 with 6 mile viz is a candidate. Grand Rapids, MI with an 88 and 3/4 mile viz is another. HGR is entering the game with 91 and 4 miles.
-
Airports still had a good run today and the HIs got in the 105-110 range in a good chunk of the region. DCA: 98 IAD: 96 BWI: 95
-
I’ve been using surface viz as a proxy for how it will seem at the ground level, but yeah, it is going to be smoky in the column.
-
Good news is that the HRRR is being less aggressive on the smoke over the past several runs. Bad news is that it is undershooting the visibility reduction in the Great Lakes right now. Much of WI and MI have 1 mile or less visibility.
