  1. Holy inversion. My low was 60.8. I can feel the temperature dramatically changing on the morning dog walk.
  2. That’s a heck of a day. I got 20 last year and spread it out over a week. Went golfing today and the fairways were very dry. Great roll, though. Drove a 295 yard (downhill) hole. 3 putted of course.
  3. 38. Not surprised that temps are all over the place with calm conditions. I am surprised that Dulles is relatively warm (37) compared to many other places. DCA at 43 tracks the other urban core temps.
  4. Rahm was so steady. Didn’t have to scramble. It seemed like everyone else that had a chance coming into the final round was in trouble all day.
  5. DCA’s Jan-Mar precip totals are the lowest since 2009(!), and 6th lowest in 150 years. In the last century, the lowest Jan-Apr total is 6.99” in 1977. We are sitting at 5.61” with a dry forecast going forward.
  6. McLean to Bethesda looks pretty good. On the south side of the cell here and I’ll just take some rain.
  7. The Twins did the same thing this year, primarily because it was cold today and they had that built-in day off in the schedule. The Thursday-Saturday-Sunday schedule the first two weeks has some advantages.
  8. I got a Fairfax Alert email, so they are on top of it! Gusts to 70 Hail to 1.5”
  9. Fess up, who broke the official 5-minute obs? 85.6
  10. Low of 60.8. Very late May/early June outside.
  11. Record high at DCA is 86 tomorrow. In danger if the HRRR and GFS are right. The caveat being river wind in April.
  12. Here we go based on the F6s. These are more what I recall.
  13. Yes, I couldn’t find the peak gust numbers in the daily obs. I was going off the hourly Metars. Maybe I need to look at the F6s?
  14. Of interest only to me, but I thought I would share anyway. This is a catalog of every 40mph+ gust that my weather station in Falls Church has recorded, with comparisons to IAD/DCA. I have a pretty good mounting location above my roofline, but we are surrounded by 100' oaks so it does read low, especially after leaf-out. Still bummed that I lost power in two of the bigger region-wide events (derecho and Mar. 2018). The localized downburst in August 2021 caused much more damage in my neighborhood than any other event in the past decade-plus, derecho included. Edit - new list below
  15. It is an amazing winter up there. It hasn't even been that cold, mostly near normal, but they are just getting nailed over and over.
