one of those fun nights where it's 45-46F here and like 5 blocks away it's 36-38F.

Currently 27.5/24.6 with some high cirrus filling in from SW at 7 am. 27.4 for the low.

All 3 metro airports were BN for the first week of January, even with a double digit AN day yesterday. RIC is above normal for the month because yesterday was so warm.

With the possibility of a decent rain event, it can’t be a bad thing that the days leading up to it are above normal so as to get as much water into the soil.

Yes!  We need the moisture....WB 12Z RDPS.

The models seem to all be coming into agreement that the warm front is going to set up to our south on Saturday.

The good news:  this puts most of our area in a really good location for overrunning, and we should get a fairly decent widespread soaking.

The bad news:  this will keep the warm sector south the DC/Baltimore metro, and you can kiss a warm Saturday goodbye.    Areas well south of DC might still get warm, and *maybe* we all break into the warm air briefly during the evening, but it right now looks like most of us will have a much chillier Saturday daytime than we were expecting.

Clouded over around 10 am, currently 54.2/34.4 at 2:30 pm with some radar returns overhead though nothing reaching the ground.

Excellent

Thought this was a neat morning photo here in Delaware.  I thought there was some kind of saying about a ring around the moon.

39.2/33.5 at 11:30 pm. Forecast low was 41. I think the mostly clear skies that started about two hours ago throwing things off.

Cannot sleep tonight.

At 7 am it was 43.5/39.3 after hitting 37.6 around 2 am. Amazing the number of times that has happened since Christmas.

Definitely a beta level warmup…not to mention there was more clouds than sun all week.

[high risk]

CAMs suggesting a few scattered heavier snow showers Sunday afternoon.

Not gonna lie the past two days have been a nice reprise from our actually cold December and November. In a weird way my body feels like it’s late February because it’s been so long since December snow. 

[wxmeddler]

I'm looking forward to the rain tomorrow.

I feel likes it's spring because i experienced 100" of snow last week and temps in the single digits on the Tug Hill. My brain thinks it's spring now lol
