About time for the Animal House quoting

I am like 5 miles from the red bullseye in Loudoun! LOL! What an odd model depiction.. I suspect there should be a lot more smoothing than that

38 this morning in Purcellville, and when I went out, shaded spots had some patchy frost. So good call on the advisory, it was all about location, shady spots, and good clear conditions.

Gfs ticks east with heavier rain shield. I think it is under doing the western extent of rain but that is based on nor'easter thoughts from winter. Still a close line between the heavier rain and those that get less. Rain is now certain for most or all the area

Long range snow totals for GFS and Euro showing a lot of Canada getting snow the next 2 weeks. Gfs is way more excited about it

2.55 inches for total event here in Purcellville.

WOW! What luck.. 2.34 inches of rain over the last 24 hours! Very unexpected amounts here in my backyard!

44.1 degree low! That is chilly!

Oh ya! Browning for sure, I am also not cutting 3 inch+ amounts off the lawn every week either. Not good for grass planting season, which is here in about a week! Need some moisture for sure. Hoping tomorrow surprises, but when dryness is the trend, Loudoun has not done well in the past. I also do not like the trajectory of moisture tomorrow as it seems to get a slight rain shadow from the mountains when moving west to east. Still got down to 49 last night which is wild due to such big temperature swings.

48.2 glorious degrees this morning! Was a chilly and delightful walk!

86/78 - Air you can wear out there!

Maybe a watch?

Morning walk felt like if I moved too quickly, I could cause enough of a disturbance to cause rain! LOL! Thick out there! 76/75

That was some insane heavy rain here in Purcellville! Was coming down at 4.25" per hour rate according to the weather station. Picked up almost an inch in a very short period of time. Was so heavy visibility was a couple hundred feet!

I was out mowing and that storm was pretty far away when a bolt hit right next to my neighbor's home. Wild. I stopped mowing. The storms were even further than when I took this screen grab. Blue sunny sky with storm clouds a bit in the distance. Got my attention!! Lol

The outflow boundary from storms earlier to the west of Loudoun pretty much seems to have sucked the life out of anything new forming. Guess more activity could spring up. Maryland looks a bit busy and other parts of the area

HI here hit 114 in the last hour but it has fallen. Temp is up to 93.5 degrees and a HI of 107 - Seems the Convective temps have been hit based on the puffy clouds and the look on radar! We shall see.

I do not care that we allow other curse words, this is some messed up stuff!

98.3 was the high today, and high for me for the year! DP is 74.. this is better than yesterday!

Good grief!! DP is up to 82!! HI is 118. At 7:33 the HI was 121 degrees!

WOW! Air you can wear out there! 12:15pm - 92.5 degrees, 79 degree dp, HI shows a 111! NASTY!
