MN Transplant Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 stuck at 54-55 here in downtown DC Brutal. Jumped to 56.9 at home a half hour ago with pretty good sunshine, then it clouded back over and is now sitting at 55.8. And from satellite, it looks like we are now in the wash from the convection out west and have no chance at any insolation for a while now. Mid-70s bust.

Ian Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Playing with the warm front can be good. You want to be east of RDU for real torn risk IMO. I think this will end up a bit overhyped..
