April Discobs 2026

[George BM]

Happy June-like start to April, Weather family.

[Mrs.J]

71 out at 12:30am. Struggling to fall asleep as we are not wanting to turn the air on. 

[SnowenOutThere]

Went on an adventure to see the cherry blossoms last weekend in DC.

Started by waking up at 3am to get there early enough to get shots of the moon sinking over the horizon, of which, I couldn't be happier with.

By 5am first light started to appear and with it the crowds. Pulses of people streamed onto the walkways. 

I went around the loop for sunrise. Got some shots along the way, and arguably my best ones of the day.

Finally, the sun began to breach the DC skyline. 

At the end I was out of DC by 8am. Great experience, and huge thanks to my Dad for driving me in and finding parking.

Nice, been there a couple times. It’s worth it for the experience. Kenwood is another spot, though I gotta think the homeowners get annoyed sometimes lol. One of my weird hobbies is trying to predict the time based on the moon phase and location in the sky. The moonset of what looks like a 10-11pm moon phase lines up with those predawn pics.

77 out. Nice breeze out there helping to keep my AC off with West to East cross ventilation. Getting the smells of the Frederick Co. farmland wafting in. 

[dailylurker]

Another beautiful mid summer day. It's going to be a long hot summer at this rate.

[Stormchaserchuck1]

Hitting 79 an hour earlier than yesterday. 

[SolidIcewx]

84 here where im working in PG county. Might over perform. Point n click has me at 85 today.

[87storms]

Obviously, for the sake of climate change, I prefer normal seasons…but man this weather feels incredible. I needed this in my life. Now can we get some thunder in this pattern?

I know right. Where i grew up in Detroit has had tons of storms already this year. I could go for a good light show.

Bring the 50s with lows in 30s next week and fair weather. Early Spring should feel more like Fall. Too soon for 80s. 

[SnowenOutThere]

Hmmm, some boundaries appear to be draped W-E across Reston. Other boundaries are from the Potomac moving west. Could see something interesting things happen.

50s and sun is acceptable. Playing hoops in a hoodie is a vibe.

[Stormchaserchuck1]

My 7th 80 of the year? something like that? Maybe it's number of 76+. Either way, we had a glacier of snow for a month 6 weeks ago. Nice contrast!

80s and humidity is a recipe for popcorn cells in our area.

[arlwx12]

Reported highs so far:

DCA 88

IAD 86

BWI 86

Earlier, LWX's discussion said the highs (all set in 1978) had been 88/85/88.

[Stormchaserchuck1]

88 in DCA just like that. Warmth is the story this March/April 1. When the SW, US is warm first, we usually bust high a few degrees. 

[Wxtrix]

a little rain and thunder outside. 83 for today's high.

[stormy]

More freezes next week for my blooming fruit trees

[BlizzardNole]

Man it's hot!  86 at my house.  That 71 in Annapolis sure looks refreshing right now.

Breezy and no hail in Baker Park, but man that was a torrential midsummer downpour.

[mappy]

Nice little sub-severe thunderstorm right now  

[WVclimo]

Dime-sized hail pouring down here.  Beginning to accumulate.
