SnowenOutThere

Has been absolutely beautiful weather for the first week of college in Charlottesville. Praying the eventual October heatwave isn’t that rough.

Same… are you staying northern obx or going more south.

I can do you one better at .23 got brutally skipped by storms twice.

I plan to head on down to the point lookout beach (right on the cheasapeak) today or tomorrow to get sunset and Milky Way pictures. Any Mets have thoughts on which day would offer a good sunset and clear sky at night?

Some fun pictures of clouds from today! Got a cool shelf cloud from the storms that moved into FFX county along with a little cap cloud on some convection and then finished with a nice sunset.

Lots of wind associated with the backside anvil of the storms south of Reston. It’s been light rain but strong wind. Almost seems microbursty or evaporative heat driven but far less intense.

It is still a little humid out but might as well be the desert southwest after the month we’ve had.

Super cool to see the cold front moving south on radar with the north blowing wind behind it.

It just cleared my location and it was a nice break from the heat. Rain is beginning to form which doesn’t bode well for the end of swim season parry were supposed to have…

Flash flood emergency issued northwest of DC

Today is by far the worst it has felt being on the pool deck from 7-11am. Just dreadful. Current dew point is 79.3...

The LWX forecast discussion is a very good read for the flood threat today.

I’ve watched the same storm try to fire just north of me in Reston for the past 4 hours and it keeps failing. It seems like we’re just missing some ingredient for now.
