PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Record high watch for Friday at BWI? Forecasted high is 74, record is 77. Forecast is for 79 now so it seems likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Forecast is for 79 now so it seems likely. The same is true for DCA (including historical DC records back to 1872) and IAD, with the NWS forecasts for Friday (November 6th) being 80 and 79, respectively, and the current records in each case being 78. However, the hurdle is not all that great, as the record high temperature from Nov. 6th until the end of the year is 83 for DCA and 81 for IAD. Both of those records were set on November 15, 1993.

Yeah, there's only been six record 80+ highs at BWI in Nov. (none in Dec.), and the last one is 11/8/1975. Monthly record high was 86 on 11/1/1950 so that's not happening either. But it would be neat if we could get another 80+ record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 BWI has tied the record highest min for the day (63) if we can hold it until midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 BWI has tied the record highest min for the day (63) if we can hold it until midnight. IAD also appears to have had a 63 minimum this morning, which would break the high minimum record of 61 set on this date in 2003, if it holds through midnight.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 79 at BWI! Can we get 80? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 79 at BWI! Can we get 80? Yes we can- 80 for the high officially. If the 63 low holds tonight that's an average of 71.5- I think the hottest average day in Nov was 11/2/1971 (83H, 68L, 76 avg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 80 at DCA, IAD and BWI today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 IAD also appears to have had a 63 minimum this morning, which would break the high minimum record of 61 set on this date in 2003, if it holds through midnight. It did hold, and IAD's minimum yesterday exceeded DCA's by three degrees. The last time that IAD's minimum exceeded DCA's was, I believe, April 7th. IAD currently has a departure for November of +10.1 degrees, vs.+ 8.4 at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksburg currently running a +13.3, Roanoke a +11.3. This is crazy. Think at end of month we went backwards one to Sept instead of forward to Nov. Least my wood supply should last at this rate, still haven't built first fire in stove yet this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 If BWI would finish with the current +6 departure, that would be 3rd hottest Nov. I'd say a top 10 hottest Nov. would be a good shot if it weren't for the extended forecast- that's probably going to knock it down a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 BWI missed the record highest min by just one degree... oh well, at least this will still keep us in a good position to hold onto the big positive departure we got going.

Yeah, we lose so many that way with 11:59pm lows, its frustrating. Same way when midnight highs ruin a record lowest max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 DC should crack top 10 warmest Nov without problem. Looks like it should be #7 if things go half to plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Awful... BWI is down to 11th after yesterday, and today is probably going to screw us even more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 DC should still get #6 warmest.. glanced wrong before and thought #7. Yes, 6th warmest of 145 Novembers at 53.7 degrees. IAD was 3rd warmest of 53 Novembers at 50.3 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 44.4 or greater for a top 10 Dec in DC. Might put up some +15-20s this stretch if something doesn't bust it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Last nights gFS MOS had 3 days 68+ for DC in a row. Haven't seen that so late before during modern records if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm tempted to start saying "top 10 coldest year on record watch" again since we're way out in front, but I said that last year and had the rug pulled out from under me in December.

PrinceFrederickWx Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 This December will be the EXACT opposite of 1917.............. 1917 was tied for 2nd coldest at BWI- 1989 was #1 by a pretty large margin. The most frustrating Decembers were 2011 and 2012, which finished 16th and 11th, respectively. I hope we can torch our way to #1 but we'd have to put up a +9.0 departure to get hottest December ever (1931) so that's gonna be very hard.
