Well, while the 'testing' was going on (that NWS Blacksburg DID send out a statement on between 8a-3p) I could use the dropdowns and point and click, just came in from working outside and went to check radar since rain drove me in.... back to nada. Amazing. Can you go back to 'testing' Blacksburg??

On main page if you click on a location it goes to a screen that looks like this, also none of the 'main topics' (forecast, rivers and streams, current conditions) open their dropdowns. You can type the zip or a location in the box and hit go and it works though.

ditto here

Still not working from NWS Blacksburg as of 8 pm....

Currently 58.9/58.0, which is the high for the day. Been 56-58 all day with a light drizzle or light rain and a light SE to E wind. Won't be a 'cool max' in the morning as that belongs to 1999's 54 degree high for 5/15.

Yep, no frost here but it was 39.7 at 7 am report time. Low was 38.7 about 5:30 am.

Rain falling here in last 10 minutes or so after some breaks in the clouds earlier. Down to 58 after a 63 high earlier with the bit of sun.

Down to 40.4 here this morning, ALMOST in the 30's... I'm with Stormy above, I'm sure there is a way to track previous forecast's high with actual going back. I'm 95% certain his thoughts are right, especially for the western parts of this forum's area. I've posted several times over the past years of TERRIBLE 'warm busts' by NWS for my area. Sure, they miss low a few times, but that is rare compared to the 'missed high'.

Well, only 0.04 here, but better than nothing lol. Breezy this morning from NW with 57.9/52.7 under PC skies.

Nice line of showers and thunderstorms lined up from Cumberland MD to Snowshoe to Beckley WV heading east.

I've noticed a trend of 'running high' last 6-8 months for my location too. 84 forecasted, 77.8 actual today.

Thundering big time here, just waiting on the rain.

My numbers for the month of April 2024 Averaged high was 68.3 degrees vs a normal of 66.2 degrees, a +2.1 degrees above average. The warmest day was the last, the 30th with a 85.5 degree reading. Averaged low was 43.8 degrees vs a normal of 38.9 degrees, a +4.9 degrees above average and places it as 4th warmest averaged low for the month. The coldest temp recorded was 27.2 degrees on the 7th. Overall averaged temp was 56.1 degrees vs a normal of 52.5 degrees, a +3.6 degrees above average. Total precip for the month was 4.00 inches vs a normal of 3.64 inches, a +0.36 above average. The wettest day was the 12th with 2.34 inches falling. There were 15 days with measurable, 3 days with a 'T' and 12 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was a 'T', which happened on two consecutive days, the 5th and 6th vs a normal of 0.3 inches, a -0.3 inches below average. There were no days with measurable snow on the ground. Highest wind for the month was 44 mph. There were 15 days with winds above 25 mph. Two new records, the 2.34 inches of rain set a new daily record on the 12th, and a new record 'warm max' was set on the 3rd. Overall another warm month, fairly wet and windy. Records go back to Oct 1979.

Thank you, Toronto. Finally a game 7. Pulling for Nash and Vegas to move those series to a game 7. Firm believer in series going 6 minimum, the more hockey, the better.

OOPS! DCA: +1.6 NYC: +1.3 BOS: +1.1 ORD: +0.9 ATL: +0.7 IAH: +1.4 DEN: +0.4 PHX: -0.5 SEA: -0.8

Yep. 53.8/85.5 here. Not a record, that still stands from 2017 at 86.8 degrees.

20 degrees warmer this morning. Had some sprinkles overnight.

Caps played better, but down 2-0 headed home.

Currently 33.5 here after a 31.8 low.

31.4 for a low. No frost/freeze warning here due to official growing season not started. I THINK it's 5/1.

truth

Hey! An almost 'normal' April day! 67.2/44.3 vs 67.5/40.8. Been a while it seems....

**looks around at the 'greenness' after just cutting the grass for 2nd time this week** Currently at 3.97 for the month here, the 5 CO-OPs within 30 miles of the house running 2.75-4.03 as of today.

Yeah, I had two decent looking areas head my way today, only for them to dissipate and turn south at the last minute. I MAY have 0.01 in the gauge lol.
