First flurries in Great Falls.

One more for good measure.

Stunning!

44.6

I’ll be contrarian and say that I love this weather, especially during the workweek. Sets a perfect fall mood. And easy to get work done without distraction. 64.6 currently with a misty drizzle. Low was 62.6.
-
45.0 for the low.
-
47.3 for the low.

53.2 for the low this morning in Great Falls.
-
51.6 for the low. Beautiful morning!

Amazing the difference that a few miles makes -- just light rain here, but constant thunder off to the west.
-
53 for the low in Great Falls. 75 at noon.

Low of 58 at DCA ties for 13th coldest all-time (1872-present) and coldest since 1956. Outside of 1956 and 2024, all of the sub-60 lows at DCA/Washington for 8/22 occured prior to 1933.

We bottomed out at 51.4

Looks like IAD's low (so far) is 49.

DC appears to have recorded an August 20 high of 76 or lower 16 times in the 125 years between 1900 and 2024. Rainfall was recorded on 10 of those 16 days. So, to answer @mattie g's question, it appears to be an uncommon occurrence on a day with full sun. This morning's DCA low of 59 ties for the 10th coolest August 21 low since 1900. The last time that a cooler low was recorded was in 1969 (58).

I, for one, hope that Congress reauthorizes Weather. This board would be fairly boring without it.

Low of 53.2 in Great Falls. 74/57 yesterday.
-
Glancing blow from the storms here, but we got a good 10-minute downpour. Knocked the temp down to 80. High/low today was 99/72.
-
Just under 0.50" so far in Great Falls. We made out well this morning.
-
Looks like IAD got down to 79 this evening in the rain.
-
Very brief pop-up tropical shower here in Great Falls. It was nice for the 3 minutes that it lasted.

Our fastest 8&U girl at free and back is a 6 year-old. (She also has a good swim birthday). She is not consistently legal at breast/fly and is much slower at those events when she is legal . . . but she is seconds faster than anyone else in free/back. Our 5 year-old who swam last week became a team celebrity . . . all of the kids were cheering for her (and she did not come in last!).
-
A 3 year-old? That's crazy! Was he/she reasonably fast? Or just filled a lane? (If the latter, I guess it's better than not having a team to enter.) Our team swam a 5 year-old in 8&U free at last week's A-meet. That was due to a lot of people being on vacation. We definitely don't have any 3 year-olds who could swim a full length.
