ThePhotoGuy Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Thick fog over the Chesapeake Bay this afternoon. Car temp (I know not most reliable) was reading low-mid 40s and when I got to Ritchie Highway, the temp jumped to low-mid 50s. 10 degree warmup away from the water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Had a decent fog a bit ago but it has cleared it out. That being said it has gotten breezy out and saw others talking about the temp rise. Checked my app graph for my station. You all were not kidding on the temp rise in a short time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 57 minutes ago, EstorilM said: I just had the most bizarre thing happen. Glanced at my weather station and it said 55 degrees - I SWORE it showed 40 the last time I looked (when I got home around 730pm.) So I checked and sure enough, rose 15 degrees in less than an hour, after dark! I have another station at the farm a few miles away and it also showed a 15 degree jump. Was it accompanied with any winds? My first guess from seeing the dew point crash would be some Chinook wind from downsloping. Are you near a mountain too? I was hiking Old rag today and the wind at the top was strong enough to nearly lift me and as I descended down around 6pm I could feel pulses of warm air come down from up top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Having a similar temp spike here. Was at 43 an hour or so ago, and has spiked to 51.5 and still rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Frederick spiked from 34 at 9:35 to 50 at 10:15 with a wind shift from the west. Leesburg went from 43 to 54 in 20 minutes from 9:15 to 9:35. I'm guessing it's downsloping? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup I’m near the Blue Ridge mtns in Middleburg, not sure that’s close enough to have that impact though. The winds definitely jumped with the temp and dew point change, but the direction didn’t much (possible SW to WNW.) 14 deg temp change, 25 deg dew point change! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 51 and partly sunny. Since I haven't updated on river ice in a while, there is still full ice coverage on the Bush River near my location as far as I can see. Melt is most definitely on ofc. According to the Nat'l Ice Center mid-Atlantic chart, the western shore tributaries north of Balt were 70-99% ice covered, with few small more melted spots - as of yesterday (chart still the latest). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Some fairly rare NE to SW upslope action in Pen-Mar this AM. Putting down a fresh coating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabatic Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Added another 3.5" to the tally last night for a total in the last 48 hours of 14.5". A local observation had 3.8" with only 0.09" QPF, giving a 42:1 SLR so it's obviously massless fluff. Still pretty tho and Wisp is back into good shape. Looking for another 3-5" tonight with the WWA hoisted so a nice snowy stretch as we approach meteorological spring. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, seeing plenty of 30-50 to 1 ratios in the mountains from the upslope/LE last two days in MD/WV/VA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgottwald Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Fun fact: DCA's monthly high so far is 57. If we don't hit 60 before Saturday, this would be the coldest February high since 2010 (which topped out at 50). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think by looking at the radar but all stations just reporting overcast... plus most temperatures are above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
