  1. look closer next time, those are all snapped off at the ground
  2. Low clouds are quickly disappearing across NoVA, less so south of 64
  3. Not a huge difference, but I prefer NEXLAB's map projection and interface. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Virginia-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined
  4. That cluster of storms in SW VA extending from roughly Albemarle to the VA/NC border sure has the derecho look. They started out somewhere west of Cinncinnati this morning, and had no issue jumping the mountains. Roanoke gusted to 58 when it came through down there
  5. 2pm - 97/72, HI 106 @ CHO
  6. That big cluster heading into WV right now was completely missed by guidance last night/this morning. The HRRR finally picked it up the past couple runs. Will be interesting to see what that does.
  7. CHO was 91/70 @ 10am 7 degrees ahead of this time yesterday
  8. 99/70 for a HI of 106 on the 3:10pm obs at CHO, back to 97 now. I think that's it for down here today. High clouds filtering in from the NW are going to limit any further heating
  9. 97/66 at CHO since 2pm. Forecast high was 97 so we might bust a degree or two over
  10. 93/72 at CHO heat index of 101 steamy out there
  11. I thought that looked a little odd but wasn't sure why, appreciate the details
  12. The big heat the GFS is throwing out for the Midwest next week is downright scary. I can't ever remember such a wide swathe being forecast that far over 100 degrees, for 12+ hours in a single day. Lows in KC Tuesday night would be in the upper 90s...
  13. Milky-gray skies with a noticeable burnt wood smell in Cville. Slightly irritating to the eyes/sinuses. Worse than I thought we were going to get it today
  14. @Roger Smith can we get a mid-season update? yes I'm aware I didn't put an entry in this year..
  15. Seems like we're going to have a hard time hitting 100 anywhere in the mid-atlantic this summer. High temp so far in Charlottesville is 94 for July, 91 for June and 88 for May. Fine by me!!
  16. The December 2009 blizzard is seared into my memory. That winter as a whole is really. It was my senior year of HS, living in Falls Church at that point. I had faint memories of the '96 blizzard and clear ones of 02/03 and the Feb 2006 save, but that was just something I had never really witnessed. I think that storm is the one responsible for setting me on the path to weather weenie. I started checking out weather forums around then. And that was all before the onslaught that was to come in Feb lol
  17. Slightly larger than pea-sized hail with the cell that just cross Charlottesville. Best storm of the year so far!
  18. Makes sense that they would put some extra time into the schedule in case something doesn't go as smoothly as planned. Under promise, over deliver
  19. Today's haze is a lot like what I remember growing up with all summer in the 90s/early 00s in NoVA. Bittersweet in a way
  20. Smoke seems to be getting a little lighter at ground level in Albemarle, but it looks as thick as it has all day overhead. Maybe a product of the sun angle at noon? 219 reading to our East at Zion Crossroads (Louisa). The Hollymead sensor on PurpleAir north of town has been reading low the past few days, seems like it's somewhat protected, maybe indoors.
  21. Round Hill or Mordor?
  22. A large part of that is the phone is adjusting it's exposure/white balance settings as it takes each successive photo that then gets stitched into a single image. Your brain does the same but it's subconscious and not frozen in time for easy comparison.
  23. Picked up 0.65" with that line that came across Albemarle between 1-2pm. It really blew up just to our SE. 45k ft echo tops on that cell near Powhatan.
