And then next week has that lingering upper level low chilly drizzle look. At least on the GFS. Might be the time to put down more seed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlizzardNole Posted April 21, 2020 After two very warm Mays (IAD with +5.0 in 2019 and +6.4 in 2018), I hope we are not due for a cold dreary one. We just knew back in Jan and Feb that we'd get a perfect winter pattern....in mid to late spring. Glad to see the sun coming out here now. Need to enjoy it with all the rain coming up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mrs.J Posted April 21, 2020 Just had some decent gusts blow into my backyard. Looked at radar and see why. Just to my North by about 3 miles there are some decent cells. And got the inflow off of a cell that went up lightning fast 1 mile to my East. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhino16 Posted April 21, 2020 It’s gotten gustier in richmond, but that’s about it. The clouds have arrived, but I don’t expect anything but a brief shower if that. It looks as if they will go to my north and south. Then, more waiting for the next interesting event... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wxdude64 Posted April 21, 2020 In and out of gusty showers since 9 am here, just like a winter pattern with flurries in Jan or Feb. Already had a 44 mph gust at 2:03 pm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I probably shouldn't, given the bust low a few nights ago, but the wind *should* prevent temps from going subfreezing. Understood... LWX in their afternoon AFD seems to think that the winds will die down some tonight... but forecast lows are at freezing anyway... so its probably why our freeze warning is from 2am to 8am Behind the front, a gusty NW wind will continue tonight, with clear skies. The wind should prevent frost from forming, but guidance is showing overnight lows at or below freezing for much of the CWA anyway which warrants an expansion of the Freeze Warning tonight for the entire CWA. Officially, the growing season begins tonight in the highest terrain in our westernmost zones, so this is why you are seeing the Freeze Warning that far west, as temps are forecast to get as low as the upper teens tonight in the higher terrain above 2000 feet.

losetoa6 Posted April 21, 2020 Grass hasn't grown very little if any at all in the past week. That 25+30 degree lows this past week definitely helped. Tonight has a good shot to hit freezing . I've only mowed twice . Let's keep it up. I don't care about @C.A.P.E. plants Why did he plant sensitive plants in March anyway.....lol 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JakkelWx Posted April 22, 2020 I think we'll see a sharp transition from cool to very warm or even hot around the mid-May timeframe. But as of the next 2 weeks, I think it'll be cooler and wetter than normal. Polar vortex is finally breaking down and the main source of cold air now is the arctic with all the snowcover still. Once that melts the temps are off to the races 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
