This disco epitomizes the November thru May dreary period we are still in. Soon we'll finally get to our scorching summer which we should try to savor as November and the 7 dreary months will be here before we know it Slow moving low pressure will gradually push across the Mid-Atlantic region today through Wednesday, bringing increased chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms as well as below normal temperatures. Drier conditions return briefly Thursday before another storm system brings the threat for showers and storms Friday into the weekend. Weak high pressure tries to build back over the area Monday with additional shower and thunderstorm chances heading into the middle of next week.

Started out so nice but back to our familiar cloudy, breezy and cool Tomorrow does look good but I guess we'll pay for it with two rain days. Might repeat with a good Thursday, then two rain days That's an impressive thunderstorm east of Baltimore

10 days into May tomorrow and we're looking at highs in the 50s. YUCK

We got a pop-up shower a while ago that must've dropped more rain in 5 minutes than we got all weekend. It went from zero to POURING in seconds. Now the sun's back out. I need to get my darn gauge up

That's one of the things I hate most about this area. May looks great on paper but half the time it sux A while ago I was driving around west of Rockville during a heavy downpour at 51 degrees and saw a guy jogging with shorts and no shirt. Whatever works

This blurb from LWX sure sounds like next week could be stormy From Tuesday through the remainder of the long term period, the forecast area will be in the warm sector allowing for an increasing threat for strong to severe thunderstorms.

Have a back-door cold front on us! I hope we all get some good rainfall out of this at least. Today is gonna be great

Looks like we're getting a wedgie this weekend. 90 plus tomorrow and watch Saturday not get out of the 50s

Gonna be a hot one! If the wind is right we might see 90 in Crofton while it's 71 in Annapolis

Oh it's coming! Starting to see a hint of blue through the fog. Once the sun pops put the temps are gonna soar! Get those grills ready

Just picked a forecast (HCM City) and it's highs in the low 100s and lows mid 80s for the next several days - holy moly! Chilly, rainy and dreary as we we wait for the warm front. What a boundary! There's a couple upper 40s in SW PA and not too far west near Pittsburgh there are low 80s. All of WV is cooking

I want to add both to my garden this year. My mom had some last year and her garden looked like one of those butterfly exhibits!

I hope! I want to get some annuals in the ground That heat next week is a little much though! I am going to savor today's sunny and 60s

Whew Monday is looking hot - I bet we see a couple spots hit 92-94, and we probably don't reach 60 today LOL. Wish we could average it and get a week of 75

34 here but Gaithersburg Airport has 28. Wonder if that's right? It is in kind of a low-lying area

Yep, and we would be wailing about the snow in VA Beach while we smoked cirrus

Man I thought we were bad - VA Beach and NC coast in the 40s with rain. Yucko Looking sunny for a couple days coming up

Yeah classic wedge with marine airmass ; even VA Beach stuck in low 50s. YUCK! We were on the good side yesterday with 70s and sun while not far away in Philly it was overcast with upper 40s and low 50s. The boundary got us today

I saw clouds and upper 40s/low 50s around Philly yesterday while we were basking and thought glad that's not us. Welp! Cloudy and 53. Blah!

I just got a demonstration of how dangerous lightning can be. Just overcast here and not raining but had a lightning bolt out of nowhere followed by the thunderclap one second later. Here it is on RadarScope and the thunderstorm cell is a few miles to the northeast! That is how people get struck

That's one storm I am GLAD missed me to the south. Look at the colors in that thing! I am not in a position to replace a bunch of windows in our house right now

And now we got some small thunderstorms rolling through. The one coming into western MontCo and aimed for Rockville looks strong

Wow wasn't expecting this hot today -- Dulles reporting 84 already

Now that you bring that up -- I've been reading that Canada had a very warm and dry winter and some think that 2024 could be even a worse wildfire season than last year As much as we love those cool, low humidity days after summer cold fronts, I'd rather take the big heat that comes with a SW flow if there are big fires burning up there

Yeah that months-long period of 40s/50s with dreariness and bare, forlorn-looking trees and barely any snow most years is too much. I call it "The Dark" lasting from Nov. 1 to March 31 and am glad it's over. Although sometimes April can stink but next week's looking great
