Jan 31st - 33rd Storm Obs and Disco like it's 1979
astarck replied to Bob Chill's topic in Mid Atlantic
Moderate to heavy sleet south of DC. -
I live a few miles from DCA and never dropped below 23.5°. It’s crazy how cold an airmass we need to get real cold these days.
-
Light freezing rain in Arlington at 31.8°. There’s an icy look to the trees now.
-
Is it the radar? Neighboring radars aren’t as intense.
-
Unexpected car topper in south Arlington.
-
The rain was a bust. Only 0.03” here. Should dry out nicely later today for anyone participating in outdoor Thanksgiving plans.
-
I was expecting a warmer, sunnier day than what we’ve seen so far.
-
They had a number of 5 minute obs right at 70. It will be interesting to see if they broke through.
-
Echo tops are topped at 54k ft.
-
This storm is an order of magnitude better than yesterday’s storm.
-
A lot of lightning in south Arlington.
-
Likewise. Mine is waffling between 79-81.
-
Today is the day we over perform but not by enough to get 100. Third straight 99 coming up.
-
I think we can say goodbye to that 83 degree minimum.
-
I like to track the new daily averages to include 2020. For what it’s worth, from July 1-19 the 1981-2020 average high is 89.2. A lot more goes into it than simple averaging but there are eight individual days with rounded average high temps over 90. There’s even one day with an average high of 92 but frustratingly, another with an average of 87. It will be close to see if we crack 90 on any days in the official climo.
-
Roasting even with the clouds.
-
DCA 99
-
89 at the 10am ob is solid.
-
Missed it by a degree.
-
We may have nabbed an 80 degree low if it holds today.
-
Satellite shows additional clearing. This is our final shot.
-
Starting out from a low that is 4 degrees warmer than yesterday. We’ve got this. Go go go!
-
We need the entire month of 90/70 or more.
-
This is the ultimate jinx but with the low this morning of 71 we have decent shot to quickly climb into the Top 10 for consecutive number of nights with a low >= 70 at DCA. Tonight and tomorrow night will be close but then we take off from there.
-
I thought today would have been easily safe. Obs and sky cover show today was a squeaker.
