We will see this temp oscillation once again this week and I think that continues thru end of June. July will be hot but August and June not
Have seen a pattern pending with analogs so far of 1957,62,1990, 2003, 2011, 2015,16 and 2021
This summer seems different Not as bad as long . June probably does not get hot and I think wet and below av temps. July gets hot but August around average.
Man what a chiller and I think several low temp records got set with IAD at 27 and BWI 30. I thought I would make it to 31 but hit 29 and Frederick bottomed at 25 and stayed at or below 28 for 4.5 hours
Take snowcrete and persistent cold from late Nov into March and extreme cold after Snowcrete and 2.5-3.5 weeks of snow cover and the March 85 one afternoon snd snowing next afternoon and I rank this 3rd/4th since 2000
The snowcrete lasting 3 weeks 3.5 days at my house, the bitter low 20’s highs 5-10F windy lows, all three months below average temps, and 3/4 minor events . The only thing absent was a 10”+ biggie or 3/4 minors/moderate that gave us 4-6 instead of 1-4
An A- for me
Very cold low of 20.5 at Frederick house and 24 in Kemp Mill. Frederick just broke freezing at 1pm and now 32.7 . I remember the storm of the century 1993 we had a high next day of 28 which is coldest high I can remember for mid March
The rain I got in the afternoon was a 4, the one hour temp drop a 4, the wind a 3.5, the tornados and lightning a 0.
i still maintain it’s not “too short of a notice” to decide about schools at 9/10am because everyone’s on alert and watching already to see if early dismissal is wise Using the night before info is not wise
