  1. I'm thinking 96/97 for all three days at DCA. Just a touch under what NWS is going (98/98/98).
  2. The custom map does this well. 4" around Burke indeed. The range across our region is amazing.
  3. There has been a discussion elsewhere about the GFS long range having trouble with surface temps because it is drying out the surface too quickly and the boundary layer schemes are having a hard time as it goes further into the forecast period. I'm skeptical that KC mixes to 600mbs and goes superadiabatic near the surface.
  4. That was a good one. Coldest month at IAD since Feb 1979.
  5. My contest entry depends on DCA underperforming. Feeling pretty good with the IAD drought and the BWI pavement.
  6. Radar estimates look like a nice hit in the dry spots in central MD
  7. 2010-2012 really skewed what the perception of hot is. For example, 100s are really uncommon, and are often clustered. So every year has less than a 20% chance of hitting that mark.
  8. This is where I again complain that we got 8” of snow near the Pentagon and it immediately started melting when the sun came up. That one actually ends up on my dud list. Now Feb 2014 had some rates in the overnight hours.
  9. Quite the event up in PA and NY. Some radar estimates of 10”+ in PA and West Point in NY got 7” in 3 hours.
  10. You should easily be able to prove that with precipitation totals.
  11. Also could be called confirmation bias where you only remember the cases that fit your ideas. The better dynamics were always north today. Fredericksburg is missing out too, but isn’t in the DC beltway. 0.14” of pedestrian rainfall today pushing my total to 3.64” for July.
  12. The inside the DC beltway areas have been hit pretty well this week. It just isn’t happening today.
  13. The writing on the wall for anything interesting was a couple of days ago. The line near Dulles is now kicking out an outflow boundary, so we'll see where that takes us.
  14. This was a PA show all along, with some northern MD areas also cashing in.
  15. My Twins are now 45-45 with the 6th best run differential in baseball. Argh.
  16. Pretty cool watching the Arlington cell. The flow that would otherwise be pushing the cells to the east is balanced by the outflow to the west which keeps kicking up feeder cells.
  17. FFW. Radar already has nearly 2” just west of the Cemetery.
  18. Nah, a fresh losing streak for the Os would be fine with me.
  19. Takeoffs from DCA are diverting because that McLean cell is right in the normal path. A wide swing to LaGuardia.
  20. Raining again. Ended up with 1.90” yesterday, but another spot just south of me was over 3”.
  21. 1.83” and still coming down. Mattie - a little tentacle headed towards you.
