WEATHER53

Record high highs on Wednesday and record low highs on Saturday and Sunday 

54 for a high here and DCA tied record of 57 at 5pm 

Burgers and mild/sweet Italian sausage on grill tomorrow

Anybody  have a preferred brand of grilling sausage?

1.7” total and currently 53 with an overnight low if 49.5.

Extremely impressive that at the strongest sun time of year and absent any rain the temperature can just barely rise. 

So 55/56 high for DCA so far snd record in jeopardy 

57 at midnight and 54 for an afternoon high

DcA easily broke the 128 year old record off of the Aftrrnoon High but recorded 59 just after midnight so didn’t officially 

Those low maxes for Sat and Sat  57 and 58 are from 1915 and 18 something 

So far about 1/4 of last time Few lightning bugs tonight.  Few

            12 TELEPHONE POLES BLEW DOWN ON MIDDLEWAY PIKE JUST
            WEST OF CHARLES TOWN.

Would not the winds to blowdown a dozen poles have to be around 90?

Severe tstorm watch was a wise decision. There’s something to be said about a stagnant airmass as a prelude to severe here.

Absolutely. No wind, well over 90, humid, and build up towering .  My friend in WV said  over 10 telephone poles just blown down  mostly snapped near the bottom 

My report is tepid from Balt to Beltsville until 8:20 when it went insane deluge with water coming in under the doors of the church we were in. It was so loud.  Sharp lightning but rain was feature in my travels 

It’s ending but 11 consecutive negatives for DCA.  Almost -6 average.

mid 30 highs low 20s mins in winter.

The 2:30 pm hailstorm lasted60 seconds.  It was intense with a lot of hail dime  sized and about 15% nickle  sized.  During it temp dropped from 60 to 53, that’s probably as great a 1 minute temp drop as I have ever observed or close 

Why the f’mk can’t we get a 45+ Day run with repeated -10 to -20 in Jan or Feb??   It did this last year same dates in May.  Let’s cycle backwards 2021-22 winter 

So snow showers at Snowshoe  forecasted and winds gusting to 30 temperature 30.

Didnt this happen last May 9/10?

Quieted back down to gusts 30-35.There were some whole houses creakers with this wind like whole house enveloped  and not just one side getting slapped in a squall line.

Pretty wild. This might be the worst since March 2018?

Was that the 3 day one?  There were some insane numbers in that one. I think DCA gusted 40+ for over30 consecutive hours?

Getting pretty lucky in terms of damage IMBY right now. Just some twigs and small branches. PEPCO numbers look good - they've seemingly gotten a lot better in the last 10 years or so. Used to be 6 hour outages if a person farted. 

Pepco so much better than10 years ago.  I was up at Rt29 and Randolph  Rd and it was windy around 6pm but nothing else. 

After couple hours lull it’s come back with gust to 49

i know they do t keep official wind chill but dark and 51 with sustained 25 gusting to 45 is cold   

Peak gust 52 and I think winds will increase a bit from 7-10pm.

Stay out of the woods warning in my forecast this evening and after feeling like 95 in the direct sun a few days ago by 10pm tonight it will feel like 35-40. 

Periodic clod patches moving thru but during clear time now down to 40 

Gusts roar in and temps drop,,38.5 and  in those  30+ gusts it is biting 

Gonnacover plants.  Is this our new winter In spring like last year. Snow close like May10 or 9 last year?

2 months back to back below average usually happen but just gotta get it to cycle right for Jan and Feb, so once every 5 years which is kinda  how DC has worked around me since 1976.Big snow and/or big cold every 4/5 years 

1977,1979,82,83,87,93,94,96,03,06,09,10,14,16

3/4 are cold more than snow and the real monsters  like 79,83,93,,96,03,09,10 works out to more like 1 in 7 

.

44 high down in the holler. Sun just does not work on this downhill like up at a level soccer field until May. . Low 29. 

Largest negative departure of the year at DCA, -13.5 and by couple degrees.
