  1. Ravens vs Vikings next week. Two teams trying to resurrect their seasons.
  2. I consider the dotted lines of clouds from NNE to SSW today to be gravity wave clouds from terrain induced rising and falling air. I realize this doesn't help if you aren't currently in the western areas, but look for something similar in the future. Lenticular is going to be really tough around here, especially outside of isolated thunderstorm season (for pileus).
  3. Airports have all gusted in the 40-45mph range. Peak MD Mesonet gust right now is 39mph. Will be funny to see the inflatable Halloween decorations in the wind this evening, though it won't be as gusty.
  4. 1.09” for the morning report. Highest single day report since July 15th.
  5. Going to be chilly and breezy for trick-or-treating on Friday.
  6. The 12z HRRR is a trouncing for me. Around 3".
  7. Yeah, a chilly day today with mid-50s, a breeze, and overcast.
  8. 9 at bats, 9 times on base. That is unreal.
  9. Jamaica's coastline is relatively steep in most places, so the surge is less likely to be a concern. Rainfall and wind are the big-ticket items here. This is probably more akin to Maria in PR as anything else.
  10. Depends on the location. Jamaica has mostly block structures, which is helpful, but how are the roofs going to fare if this does land as a Cat 4+? The wind will be very damaging to housing and infrastructure. The HAFS make me worry about Montego Bay on the NW side.
  11. Have we ever seen a cat 5 hurricane make a massive change in direction while maintaining strength?
  12. No, it was slightly below normal but nothing special. It was not colder than 2014-2015 or 2013-2014. They haven't updated the Winter column for 24-25, but you can do your own math: https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/bwitemps.pdf
  13. IAD is perfectly situated in a little shallow bowl which promotes cold air drainage on calm nights. https://www.heywhatsthat.com/profiler.html - very old website that I still find useful sometimes. The change in color is at IAD, with a west to east profile.
  14. I want them to 3-peat going into the 2026 lockout/strike so we get a salary cap/floor in MLB.
  15. Wind. That's what defeats the warm river and the heat island. 39.0 for a low here on the west side of the DC Beltway.
  16. First morning in the 30s at 39.6. Light frost in the favored lower elevation neighborhood spots.
  17. 39 degrees spread between high and low at IAD yesterday. They are now almost 9" below normal for the calendar year.
  18. 0.05”. Better than nothing as we transition back to dry.
  19. Models are more than hinting about a deep trough crossing the country next week. No doubt that it would provide a good opportunity for rain.
  20. That was a useful storm. 0.39" here. It was solid for the drier parts of the region while the wetter eastern parts got less.
  21. The skinny line was worth about 0.10”. Hopefully can double that with the trailing region.
  22. A rough 90-day stretch for many of us in VA and WV. An oddity - in my CoCoRahs record since 2014, the past three years have been the lowest year-to-date. 2023 recovered with a wet December, but 2024 didn't and finished as my driest year.
