Another BN (but warmer) day at 72.2/37.7. Currently at -5.9 degrees for the month thru 13 days. S, M and T will put a dent in the 'coolness' with 87, 89 and 89 forecasted. 

EDIT- forgot, currently 62.5/55.9 at 2:45 pm with cloudy skies, had about 1/2 hour of light rain fall between noon and 1 pm.

I like the new 7-day hazardous weather outlook briefs put out by LWX now. I’ve noticed other offices do similar products for winter storms.

Obs at IAD have light rain, but here at Merrifield it's just cloudy with maybe three raindrops so far.

Stephens City is about to punch a hole in it. I hope it skips over and reforms just east of Stephens City and crushes everyone else.

I don’t know if it can. Our Cape values are 250ish compared to WV 500-1000.

incoming storm is warned for winds and quarter-size hail.

I haven’t moved the rain magnet from my old house yet, so congrats SOMD 

It is now fully operational.

Gusty shower with distant thunder. Nothing earth shattering, but it’s rain.

It’s producing a nice little downpour here. Not much electricity, though.

…and of course, there was just lightning with fairly deep thunder.

[Mrs.J]

Getting some nice rolling thunder. Rain is decent also.

Looks like an old fashioned squall line. How much rain will it provide?

If my weather station is accurate, we picked up about a quarter of an inch in the line.  Not too bad I guess.

.43” here and still a decent amount coming down. Proper nice line with all the rolling thunder. Have missed this. 

[Weather Will]

About .25 with a little rain still falling.  Will take every drop...

[wxdude64]

Had a warned storm roll through about an hour ago, mehish, only about .20" and a 31 mph gust. 

[Wxtrix]

the storm fell apart as it got here but at least it rained and left us with this:

Heaviest rain in awhile

Radar looked ominous over me just now but the winds did not hit me
