The HRRR wants to bring the wind in on the backside as the rain is clearing out. 2-4pm as it moves across the area. I think there would have been a lot more discussion of Zeta here if we knew that we'd be tracking a 990mb hurricane remnant a few days ago!

The HRRR has broken away from the rest of the models and now gives DC some windy conditions (gusts in the 40s) this afternoon. The 10z run was the first one to really show it.

And Gulfport in excess of 100mph.

Looks like a legit reading

Gust to 71 on the left side at MSY. Not shabby.

Yeah, straight-up chilly. Only low-mid 40s with a breeze in the DC metro Monday afternoon.

I'm pretty happy with the color here. The main problem is that the timing is never right to get everything going at once.

One certainty is the we know how to treat this a lot better now. The virus is also infecting people that are healthier and able to fight it off. There is also the potential that virus as it is mutating and growing less deadly. These are all good things, and they were made possible by slowing the spread early on.

Just about 0.5" now. A dreary Sunday. Midnight high of 57 with a current temp of 45.

Maybe the last 75+ day? 77 at home.

Vikings are embracing the tank. Ngakoue gone, Hunter is officially out for the year, and DT Pierce had already opted-out. The remaining DL is full of backups or mid-or-late round rookies. I think Spielman has to go as GM. While he's done some good things, he's long been faulted for not being able to put together an OL or find a QB. But I think pretending like 2020 was a contending year and trying to rebuild on the fly will be his downfall. He extended Kirk's contract to buy some cap space and traded a 2nd (which sadly will be a high 2nd) for 6 games of Ngakoue. Now the Vikings are in cap hell and aren't even a good team. Thankfully Jefferson is fun to watch, otherwise this would be even more painful.

VA doesn’t actually have Teacher Unions like most people think of them. This is one of several “associations”, which looks like it accounts for 1/4 to 1/3 of the staff for Fairfax County. They definitely appear to be way out there on the cautious side, to an absurd extent.

6-9" across the Minneapolis metro region. Earliest 4"+ storm on record at MSP.

We're talking kids, not helicopter parents!

Had a great sunset/rainbow combo in Tyson’s.

Kids are resilient.

Disagree. Analytics says go for it. You need less than a yard and the game is over. The ball never touches Russ’s hands again.

Not that it would have mattered. Needed a better play call on 4th and 1 to win it.

0.67”

The thing is, the longer that we can delay “everyone” from getting it, the better chance that we’ll have: 1) better testing, 2) better treatment, 3) a useful vaccine. The President is already receiving treatment that wasn’t available months ago. It is also possible that the virus strain could weaken over time throughout its mutations. What we’ve been doing (distancing/masks/etc) hasn’t been a futile exercise. It is giving people a better shot going forward.

Bummed about that one. We were on the beach at OC and would have had a decent view.

Models basically had it right. Heavier rain out by 81, a minimum along 95, and then the deluge east of the Bay. .49"

Wasn’t paying attention to the temperature forecast. Impressive drop from 80 midday to 57 now. Steady rain is on the doorstep.

Titans players test positive after beating the Vikings. 0-3 sounds like it would be a good draft position. Call off the season!
