1/19 - The Roulette Wheel 29 Black Storm - OBS
astarck replied to DDweatherman's topic in Mid Atlantic
Well modeled too. Every model showing darkness until about 7am. Except the RGEM which is off on its own showing sunrise around midnight. -
We measure on top of existing snow pack, right? If so, I’m pretty much there!
-
Another 2” this evening puts my total at 8.2” a few miles west of DCA.
-
Snow has picked up again in south Arlington.
-
I’m a few miles from DCA and have 5” on the dot. Their measurement is good.
-
And finished the month of December +0.2 degrees above normal. I thought for sure we would have a below normal month.
-
And now below 0°.

First flakes in Shirlington
-
A trace would not end the streak.

I think what they meant to say was 2000 was incredibly dry overall. The month of October 2000 logged only 0.02 inches of rain and was the middle of a very long dry streak. In total, 0.02 fell across 43 days spanning September 26 to November 9. But officially, the longest streak without rain that year was 21 days. Their reporting in this article would agree. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/10/22/dc-dry-streak-drought-lanina/

32 for Baltimore.
-
Shorts weather at DCA.
-
Going back in time on satellite images it looks like the last day that had notable clouds during the day was Wednesday October 16. Basically wall to wall sunshine for the last 8 days.
-
Incredible rain around Fredericksburg with radar estimates around 7”.
-
Narrator: They did
-
DCA got its 80 degree low yesterday.
-
This aged poorly.
-
No sooner did I type this that DCA hit 100. That should round us up to 97.3 and breaks the tie with 2012.
-
Assuming the 99 at DCA is the high today, we will have a 14-day stretch with an average high of 97.2. That puts us behind only 1930 and 2011 as the hottest two-week stretch ever.
-
Officially 104, 104, and 101 at the three airports.
-
Make that 101. Roasting.
-
DCA is at 100. Almost two hours ahead of yesterday.
-
If we can avoid the rain today we’ve got it. 80 again last night.
