WEATHER53

It looks almost like a cone and I was trying to think how far laterally it extends

I don’t know if I can ask this right but that towering wall-how thick is it?

4 cat 5? How often has that happened ?

These love to surprise and trace just off the coastline

Do you know next and 3rd strongest post 10/25? Thanks

Two questions please How many 5s have there been and what were last 5 years we had as many when was last time we had a 5 after 10/25

I think they don’t want to die unless absolutely driven inland

35 for the low

It seems line many of the past skim along the southern coast moving west and rarely barrel into Jamaica with a north or nw move

60 for my high which is also seasons coolest

35 for my low which is coldest of season

43.6 at 12 midnight which is coldest for time of the season

That was a huge boomer at 8:45 that sounded like a big crash .

For the most part we in Dc benefit the most from a mid December start to a cold pattern. They never last more than one solid month or interspersed in a two month period and then back to mild trend . I think Nov is about a 50/50 split whereas in general we do not want October to be solidly below average

37 for my Kemp Mill low, coldest of season and Frederick hit 32 and stayed there for an hour also coldest of season

Lengthy spate of showers and drizzle and 20 mph breezes with gusts to 35. it did not deliver the heavy rain nor stronger winds but it’s certainly not a non event

Rain mass is west of Rocky Mount and still moving wnw and that’s a historical reference to me for rain mass making it thoroughly over DC

Forecasters catching on now. Models mean zip. Look at the radar and other tools. Already a solid east to west movement of rain down the coast . This won’t be missing DC to the east. Sat: Rain developing late . Sat night:Rain , , heavy at times with ne winds increasing 20-30mph Sunday : Rainy and raw with ne winds 20-30 mph, sustained 25-35mph possible, gusts to 40 and gusts to 50 possible, chilly highs 55-60 Monday: Rainy ending in afternoon and windy, DC area rainfall 1-3” Little change in my forecast since Monday

42 for a low and that’s coolest of season

Models won’t get this right. A lot of combined energies exploding right over the mid Atlantic region .

I think winds may go sustained 25-30 gusting to 40. Be fun to get hit but not hurt

I was on my balcony in Beltsville and watched it change to snow. Had to overcome a lot but got 0.5” and that’s earliest ever.

64.5 for the high which was coolest max of season. I’m going to be in 40’s by midnight and that has not happened this season

My latest update on this is it continues to increase in intensity By very late Saturday night or wee hours of Sunday it gets going. Winds pick up to 20-30 from e-ne and temps hold in 50’s Sunday with squally rains and winds 25-35 gusting to 50 before ending around dawn Monday with 1-3” of rain and strong ne winds all day Monday. Should I create a new thread “The 53 storm discussion and obs” ?

Get ready for this one 20-30 sustained with gusts to 40 and 1-3” around DC . Stars mid to late Sat and may not end until Monday morning
