pazzo83 Posted Sunday at 04:29 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:29 PM looks light straight up San Diego weather for the next 7 days at least (highs in the 70s, lows in the 50s). Damn. Gonna have to water this week. Why is there a frost advisory right outside the core urban areas (DC, Arlington, Alexandria) when the lows are only gonna be in the mid 40s?

Damn. Gonna have to water this week. Why is there a frost advisory right outside the core urban areas (DC, Arlington, Alexandria) when the lows are only gonna be in the mid 40s? DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...One more night of frost potential will give way to a warming trend early this week. High pressure remains centered along the Mid Atlantic coast this afternoon but will drift southwestward tonight. Low-level flow will turn westerly allowing for less of a marine influence. At the same time, temperatures aloft will begin rising. The surface gradient is weak enough that forecast soundings indicate sharp decoupling. This will send lows into the 30s again, particularly in outlying and low lying areas. A Frost Advisory has been issued for the piedmont where the growing season remains active, as these areas will likely decouple best. The advisory is based on the forecast lows, although there is some potential with dew points starting in the 40s and the moderating airmass, we may ultimately end up with just a heavy dew even if temperatures drop to the mid 30s. Ridgetops meanwhile will stay in the 40s. Expect river valley fog to develop again, although some guidance suggests the fog may affect more areas than in previous nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soils and streams getting dry again. If we can't at least maintain parity with seasonal precipitation this winter, next spring could be a rough drought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the early November forecast, probably most of us that haven’t had a freeze yet will be later than normal. Right here. I'd say probably by Nov 10th. I've had a few light frost already which is pretty cool. This has been one of the nicest Octobers in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arlwx12 Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM According to the NWS observation map, one place in McLean hit 36 this morning and a few places in Arlington registered 38-39. I think that because LWX anticipates similar conditions overnight, they went ahead and issued a frost advisory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET losses are pretty minimal right now with the cooler than average temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although several 70's and near 80 this week may start really parching the grass. Having to water all the plants/veggies every other day right now.

Same boat, any water that does get into / into the grass is not moving very much. This last 2 weeks has been perfect grass growing weather. The highs in the 60/70s allows growth but not parching, and the lows in the 30/40's allow a nice "rain dew" every morning from the atmosphere to keep the growth going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted Tuesday at 05:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:57 PM High of 71 here today...the air quality taking a dive into "yellow" under the pressure dome. Almost looks like wildfire smoke out there. Fire danger something to watch as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:56 PM The haze / air quality was very noticeable in the ridge/valley region. Dampened my leaf spotting vibe. Just about peak in Alleganey / Washington counties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted 40 minutes ago Share Posted 40 minutes ago Beautiful morning today. Woke up early at 7am to study for my test at 9:30 and I'm glad I was able to catch the sunrise over Charlottesville. Had enough low level moisture to get some pretty scattering of the light and the fall colors are probably near their peak. Turned in my climatology literature review of Mid-Atlantic snowstorms relation to the PNA and NAO (which I'll post eventually in here) last night and can't wait to get this test done. I think I'll wake up and try to get some pictures of sunrise tomorrow. I won't miss the 7am darkness once daylight saving time starts in a couple days but I will miss seeing the sun rise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted 13 minutes ago Share Posted 13 minutes ago So many camp fires in the Catoctins it is hard to see with the smoke. But most of the next 5-7 days in the 70's? Time for some chilly weather and a front to clear out the smog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
