As warm/hot as it has been past couple of days, no records here. High yesterday before storms rolled in was 90.1 degrees, record is 92 from 1984. Got 0.14" from the storm, every drop counts!

Yes. I just posted the NWS report over in the severe weather discussion @Ephesians2, sad.

Only a 38 mph gust here at 5:20 pm in the thunderstorm, but when we left to go out to eat at 5:45 at the bottom of the hill a large maple had split and pulled power lines across the road, maybe 1/3 mile away from our house. They just were getting the road reopened when we came back at 9:30 pm.

Yuck. I was just going to say 89.0/71.1 here with a HI of 95 at 2:30 pm. East of here looks nasty, Richmond is 97, Raleigh is 100! I picked a good day to power wash the house and decks. Headed back out after a short break for late lunch.

A soupy 72.8/69.9 here with rain falling. Decent thunderstorm moving thru, only a 28 mph gust, but will take ALL the rain that wants to fall! About .30" in 25-30 minutes.

Not to be 'that' conspiracist person, but the more the sports betting has increased, the more those types of calls are seeming to happen.

Low was 46.1 here. Currently 72.3/50.0 with partly cloudy skies at 1:30 pm.

66.8/49.3 at 2:30 pm with cloudy skies on ENE breezes. Had some sprinkles about two hours ago and looks like some heavier/moderate is on the way glancing at radar from the north. EDIT- number flipper strikes again, 66.8 was the temp. Currently raining (fairly hard) and 59.5/53.5 at 4 pm with a north 11 gusting 26 mph breeze..

My numbers for May 2026 Averaged high was 72.3 degrees vs a normal of 73.6 degrees, -1.3 degrees below average. The warmest temp recorded was 90.2 degrees on the 20th. Averaged low temp was 46.6 degrees vs a normal of 48.6 degrees, -2.0 degrees below average. The coldest temp recorded was 33.8 degrees on the 3rd. Overall averaged temp was 59.5 degrees vs a normal of 61.1 degrees, -1.6 degrees below average. Total rainfall was 3.90 inches vs a normal of 4.30 inches, -0.40 below normal. The greatest rainfall was on the 12th with 0.57 inches. There were 14 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 14 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 37 mph. There were 12 days with winds above 25 mph and 4 more days in the low 20's. Several new records. A new record 'warm minimum' was set on the 27th, and new record 'cold maxes' were set on the 15th, 23rd and 24th. A slightly cooler month, quite dry until the end when 3/4's of the monthly rain fell over 8 days.

Looks like the high will be 74.8 degrees here, currently 74.1/55.6 with just a few high cirrus and altostratus clouds. Today ends the 'freezing season' as the last/latest 32 or lower is today from 1984.

DCA: +0.3 100 NYC: +1.1 100 BOS: +1.7 101 ORD: +2.2 101 ATL: +0.4 99 IAH: +0.8 105 DEN: +1.9 104 PHX: +2.3 118 SEA: +2.4 97

Mason/Dixon line has been a pretty sharp cut-off for the have's vs have-nots on precip prior to the past week.

49.0 for the low, looks (and feels) like a glorious late spring day here!

2.46" for the 'event' and sitting at 3.90" for the month here. Partly cloudy skies with some sun this morning! AC just kicked on at 8:15 am, but I'll attribute that to the warm kitchen as wife and sister are making biscuits and gravy for breakfast for the 8 folks here visiting.

Just realized I (and most of VA along and south of I-64) under a severe thunderstorm watch until 9 pm.

Perfect conditions for the 'brown heavy haze' to return if that locks in for a while.

Set a 'warm minimum' at 64.3 degrees, old mark was 63 from 1981. About 2.5" since the rain returned. Someone close by has gotten a good bit more, the river was up about 3 feet above normal and brown. 1st time I'll seen that in a while.

68.0/66.7 at 12:30 pm. Right at 2 inches total for the event.

Set a second 'cool max' in a row, high was 55.5 degrees, which breaks last year's mark of 59.8 degrees. Only 0.11" in gauge, and around 1.25" has fell since event started, but I will take over the dryness we've had last few months.

52.9/52.1 at 1 pm. I have to get above 59.8 degrees to not break LAST YEAR'S record 'cool max'.

LOL, yep. Wife was complaining that it was 67 in the house, on went the heat in May! smh. Currently light rain and 51.5/50.8. At 7 am CoCoRaHS report set a new 'cool max' for the date at 55.0 degrees, old mark was 57 degrees from 1990. Another 0.45" in gauge then, new 0.11 since. Close to 1.25" for event."

May showers bring June flowers? All kidding aside, hope this happens over the entire 2 week period, would be very beneficial in helping relieve some of the drought conditions.

0.54 for today. 0.06 yesterday. MUCH more (2"+) fell just to my north up in Bath and Highland counties. I'll call that a win, headwaters for both the James and Potomac watersheds. Let's hope for another 1-2 area wide over next couple of days. Currently 52.9/52.0 with light rain here.

First +90 temp of the year at 90.2 degrees for a high, not a record (95 in 1996), low and current 58.7 degrees.
