snowfan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Fog didn't appear to be as bad this morning when driving into work. Only hit a few low areas where it was thick. That said, it sure feels juicy outside. Looks like we may get 2 nights early next week with lows dipping into the upper 30s....refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be into full sun almost immediately. 80s here we come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catoctin wx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Anybody want to venture a guess as to what might cause this kind of signal in temperature and humidity overnight? Interesting part is that there was no wind and lots of fog this morning. I live on the lee side of the Catoctin ridge. I'm a little stumped. http://www.wundergro...p?ID=KMDFREDE27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catoctin wx Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Did other stations nearby report similar temperatures/dew points? The temperature and humidity range was basically the same, but none of them showed the wave pattern that mine did (or at least not as strongly).

MN Transplant Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 77.9. Flipped on the A/C in the car for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 77 here in Clarendon. I am so close to turning on the A/C. Also, where is the heavy yellow pollen coating? It has been warm for so long it seems like everything would be covered in visible pollen by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Second 80 of the year. 77 here in Clarendon. I am so close to turning on the A/C. Also, where is the heavy yellow pollen coating? It has been warm for so long it seems like everything would be covered in visible pollen by now. My oaks have just started dropping their initial gutter-clogging parts, the maples aren't doing anything, and I guess the pines aren't doing much either (they make the yellow pollen as far as I know).

WxUSAF Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 My oaks have just started dropping their initial gutter-clogging parts, the maples aren't doing anything, Odd...it's the complete opposite in my neighborhood. Maples are sprouting shedding crapola fast and furious and the oaks are still totally dormant. Different varieties of each in our yards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Our maples were active over a month ago, but they haven't resumed anything as far as I can tell. Upon further inspection, they do have little green tips coming out. DCA: 81, IAD and BWI: 80 81.0 here. Impressive that we can hit the low 80s in March w/o any wind at all. Nice in the shade, but if you are doing something active in the sun, it feels like summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Got up to 85 here today around 4. Was out with my girls on the playground in the neighborhood and we all went through our water. In the direct sun it was not comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if the rate at which trees bloom correlates with sun angle/duration. Or is it tied only to temperature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Anyone? My guess would be some clouds following along the ESE low level flow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownut Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 spent the day working out at my cabin in WV, earliest I have ever seen any oaks bud out, I would say 3 to 4 weeks earlier than the previous 6 springs that i have had the property. Also had my first 80.0 temp of the year yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Druff Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Anyone know if the rate at which trees bloom correlates with sun angle/duration. Or is it tied only to temperature? It's actually largely sun and then combined with temperatures. If this warmth were first apparent in mid-April, they'd shoot out. It takes longer for them to emerge this early in the season.

mdhokie Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 So is this crazy spinning mass of rain finally going to make it to our area this weekend? Figures it would come just in time for the weekend. Surprised noone is really talking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes longer for them to emerge this early in the season. Yeah it's mostly the sun that turns them on and off and the temp can jump star them a little early or hold them back. Elevation plays a role too as does the type of tree. I think a Bradford Pear would bloom in January if the temps were warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
