WxUSAF Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 40F, thick fog and drizzle. Awesome weather. So much better than 20F and sunny or 20F and snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There is already thunder. The forecast sounding for DCA at 1PM certainly support convection around the area. Below is the forecast NAM sounding. Note that there is an elevated unstable layer above the shallow inversion. Above the inversion, the temp and dewpoint lines are almost together as one line and that they both slant to the left more than the curving greenish line to their right. That's a classic case of being convectively unstable with any lifting. Most of us snow freaks would like that kind of unstable layer around with a snowstorm. Anyway, that is why there are so many reports of thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Brightens up considerably once it starts raining. 42.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My temp has jumped to 52.7 and the fog seems to be diminishing so I bet I do make 60. Leesburg, as always, it's about location and you and I live on different planets when it comes to local weather during winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 My fog is dense again but my temp keeps soaring, now at 54.5. Impressive warming from the dead warm up. My temp is jumping 2 degrees in the past twenty minutes even though I have dense fog. Dewpoint must be soaring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's broken here, I'm already 57.7. Up another 3 degrees in 14 minutes. I'll hit 60 unless the thunderstorms knock my temps down. My fog was super dense and how is pretty much gone.

usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 my upper 50s to mid-60s forecast. You're golden in mby. I'm now at 59.4 with 98 percent RH. I still can see some wisps of fog. St Mary's county already is in the 60s. I bet most of my county is too since I'm as far north in the county as you can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gymengineer Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Untitled-16.jpg It's been a surface wedge winter so far--- 3 legitimate ZR events so far where western 'burbs struggle to climb above freezing and even in the warm rain today, the signature holds on.

I bet most of my county is too since I'm as far north in the county as you can get. yeah, it could still end up close though i kinda doubt the whole area pushes near 60 at this pt. i was expecting to bust somewhere. guess this is one scenario where the NAM shines.. well, unless we all spike soon down the middle.

usedtobe Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Untitled-16.jpg You were golden but a heavy shower knocked my temp back down to 58.8. That's a great demonstration of the impact of the damming and how its impact is always larger out west. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
