Highest DP since last Sept on my station.

T’Wolves!  What a comeback.

Still going

Just a miserable day.  Stopped for about an hour after the primary shield went through, but it filled back in and has been raining since 10am.  0.48”

And not much rain to show for it either.

I'm running 3rd of 11 years in precip-to-date via CoCoRahs.

You are correct. I guess the cooler periods stand out more because of the effect on outdoor activities. I think it was wxusaf who said we are either torch or cold, not getting the actual "average" of the month. 

It's the weekend problem.  The longwave pattern has sent troughs through us on so many weekends this Spring.

Never? I feel like ever since that epic Feb forecast bust we've been living in this bad pattern. Other than that week or so of toasty weather we've been mostly wet and chilly. 

Bring on the drought and heat! I'm ready for wildfire smoke and 80+ dews.

It has been above normal every month.  There have been a number of murky, chilly days, but it has been warm overall.

Ok, I’m just west of Strasburg and there is absolutely a reddish tint to the sky, but my phone is exaggerating it.

I ended up circling around between I-81 and the WV border, but the clouds came back and I packed it in by 11:30pm.  This was like going on a tornado chase and seeing a nice rotating wall cloud.  Cool to see, but not really the show you wanted.

I might just hit 66 and go west just in case.  Can listen the Wolves game.

The TV mets and NWS were screaming about how hot it would be today. Near 90.

At 11:30 it is 72.  

Maybe we will have a sharp temp. rise from 1600 to 1800Z ???

87/88 at DCA.  

The 6am supercell over my house on the 12z 3k would be fun.

Not a surprise that they are warning this

0.60" here.  Welcome for the top layer of the ground.

Fantastic out right now.  71 with filtered sun and a modest breeze.

No one is paying attention or cares since it is rain, but EURO caved to GFS and is now wet Saturday.WB 12Z EURO compared to yesterday.

Yeah, the Euro was late to the dreary Saturday party.  As of the 00z run it had clouds but still nearing 70.

Just got notice that our neighborhood pool is opening on May 11th!  I’m not in pool shape yet.

Highs so far:

BWI: 88

IAD: 87

DCA: 83 

It has been over 48 hours since DCA had a wind vector that wasn’t SSW to SE.

Twins breaking their winless playoff streak last year now the Timberwolves sweep...perhaps the Minnesota turd is turning 

The Wolves are the state's best chance at a big 4 sports title since the '09 Vikes. They looked great against Phoenix.

I don't expect much from the Vikes this upcoming year with Sam Darnold starting, but at least we finally have a young QB to get excited about.

had about a 15-20 min stretch of 32C (89.6F) on the 5 min obs (plus a bunch more times hitting it for 2 or 3 obs in a row), it usually sneaks in there when that happens.

Missed it.  89

Record highs at IAD and BWI

DCA is just rock solid on that S wind.  Will be interesting to see if a 90 squeaked through at some point.

BWI already has 90.  IAD is right up against it.  DCA needs a off-river kick.

88.7 is my high so far

6-hourlies:

DCA: 87

IAD:  90

BWI:  91

I am currently at 89.1

BWI already has 90.  IAD is right up against it.  DCA needs a off-river kick.

88.7 is my high so far

DCA 78 with a river wind

IAD 84

BWI’s hourly isn’t in yet but probably 86/87

82.9 at home

Warm.  A tad bit humid too.  Of course, we’ll be begging for 60 degree dews in a month or two.
