Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Same thing here. And if you watch that play out on satellite you’ll see that develop into a narrow band of clouds that developed and just sat over the area most of the day. If someone can explain the science of that I’d be fascinated to learn. You could see the airflow out of the north but that band never budged. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoda Posted November 4, 2020 Question -- if a freeze warning was issued, doesn't that usually mean that the "growing season" is officially over for that county? Like I know there was a freeze warning for PW few days ago and they have a frost advisory tonight... just think it's a bit strange Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible they had a warning but NWS determined it didn't hit it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losetoa6 Posted November 4, 2020 Another freeze here 31 Don't usually drink coffee but this morning I might have to lol . Staying up to 2:30 and getting up at 5:15 is a killer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WxUSAF Posted November 4, 2020 Weather looks warm and boring for awhile. Not going to have three below normal temperature November’s in a row. That’s for sure. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So what you’re saying is we should expect a different winter this year than last. And to extrapolate that further, you’re calling for a historic one of a kind winter. Yes!

arlwx Posted November 4, 2020 Close at IAD and BWI but still no cigar. ((oops, just spotted IAD snuck in a 32 on 31 Oct)) DCA 42 BWI 35 IAD 33 RIC 38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arlwx Posted November 4, 2020 The GFS currently shows no love for freezinists through 19 Nov. ((so although I didn't spot the contest sooner, I would be on course to be busting bigtime on BWI (31 Oct), RIC (8 Nov) and some for DCA too (15 Nov).))

WxUSAF Posted November 4, 2020 Warm days this time of year always feel weird. The sun angle isn’t right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVclimo Posted November 5, 2020 High of 69.9 after a low of 29.9. Pretty ideal Autumn day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that the combo of warmth, low sun angle and leaves still on the trees is weird in November. However 71, low sun angle and no leaves on trees feels totally normal in December. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdhokie Posted November 6, 2020 Ever since the snow Sunday night its been in the 60s in western MD. Perfect hiking and biking weather. I agree it feels odd to have warm temps and low sun angle. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frd Posted November 6, 2020 Well the tropical connection still remains in place, another high QPF event is set for later next week. Several disturbances combined with a robust WAR will lead to extreme rainfall possibilities later next week in the East. On a side note, I spoke to some master gardeners and the change in climate here recently, and set in motion due to high dew points and extreme rainfall events since August 2019 , has interesting outcomes regarding plants and cool season grasses. Many seeds remain dormant until conditions arise and these conditions are happening now. Pao trivialis is one and is appearing in many lawns in my area, mine included, no way to selectively kill it unless you kill your lawn as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAPE Posted November 7, 2020 Mid 70s is kinda gross for this time of year. I will probably sweat and get bit by a random mosquito while blowing/mulching leaves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Algae and other green junk been having a good time here lately. No rush to get everything done, since we are in for an extended period of Sept-Oct weather. Eventually we may even see some November weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
