WxUSAF Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 That is just hideous coast to coast. Torch confirmed. Yup. Reports of the torch's early demise were greatly exaggerated. Mea culpa on that one. Well, Monday was a torch-bust . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yup. Reports of the torch's early demise were greatly exaggerated. Mea culpa on that one. Well, Monday was a torch-bust . Average highs at BWI this time of year are, what, 42, 43? The next 7 days in our zone forecast have 6 of the 7 days forecast higher than the average, significantly higher (+7 or better) on several of those days. If not a "torch" per se with days of sunshine and near 70 temps, it has still been and continues to be plenty warm as compared to norms as near as I can tell.

Well damn, I just looked at the climo report and even Monday was +5F thanks to the stupid midnight high temp This work-week through yesterday is averaging +9.5F. Today will obviously be way above normal as well. January is +4.3F month-to-date through yesterday. With the way the forecast looks, +4F for the month looks like a lock and +5 is very reachable.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 H2O is out on a field job and sent a text saying he had to pull over cause the rain was so intense and that he has T&L He is in Annadale Driving on my way to work on 495, there was a brief downpour that was one of the heaviest I've ever seen (not being a weenie here, seriously). There weren't many cars on the road but everyone had to almost come to a complete stop, it was raining so hard. Maybe this is a promising sign for the spring/summer severe season. Careful- I said that after the October snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren't many cars on the road but everyone had to almost come to a complete stop, it was raining so hard. Careful- I said that after the October snow. Eh...I'll take my chances. It's not super hard to get a decent strong storm in some part of the area in the warm months. It seems much harder to get a good snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 this winter has been more a steady low boil than a super torch at any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's been a wimpy torch....real torch I agree is several days near 70 with sunshine! Meh. I think several days of 60+ qualifies as a real torch, considering that it's some 20 degrees warmer than our average high. I am literally sweating today.

Mrs.J Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Woke to a downpour this morning (6:50am). No thunder or lightning though. Went grocery shopping wondering if it was actually March. Now the winds have picked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
