Has one line go through early tomorrow morning before dawn. Temps well into the 70s SPC's 5% risk for tomorrow confused me a bit... I mean yeah it's warm and a cold front's coming through but the LCLs are fairly high with the WSW/W downsloping surface winds. ML lapse rates are mediocre at best so you could manage some non-severe wind and hail IF you get the storms to form. Wind shear's not too great, either. I could see the 5% risk for hail, but I'd like to see a better wind profile first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marked8 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I was out by the Brawner farm yesterday in Manassas and the frogs were singing in the creek. I don't know if I have ever heard them earlier than this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I was out by the Brawner farm yesterday in Manassas and the frogs were singing in the creek. I don't know if I have ever heard them earlier than this year. Is that "regular" frogs or the peepers? I've been hearing peepers for the last week or so, and the evening din is really getting loud!

MN Transplant Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 55-56 downtown now. I wonder if we can crack 70 and what the record is for consecutive 70 degree days in March Like every March record it seems, 1945 takes the cake. 9 in a row to close the month and 16/17 from the 15th forward. # of 70+ days in March 1945 - 16 1921 - 12 1946 - 11 1907 - 10 As soon ago as March 2001 we had no 70° days.

2010 extreme Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Its nice to see at least a 5% severe prob per spc from EZF northward tomorrow. Warm temps will help but of course this time of year low level moisture will be lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 58-59 downtown. I guess it depends on sunshine level. Presumably we have 4 hours of heating left. I have 61.0. Wind, per usual, has to get away from S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CranberryWX Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Warm start to this morning. It's been hovering in the low 60s most of the early morning hours...0.20" rain yesterday. Parts of my lawn need cut...probably will break out the lawn mower for the first time this season today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Can we do 9 days in a row? Probably pretty hard. I say we do 6-7 The next 10+ days could very well be 70+ in addition to yesterday's... maybe even toss in a couple of 80+ highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Sadly, the warm weather won't last. It is still March, after all. Wouldn't be all that surprising to see temperatures actually go below average towards the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be all that surprising to see temperatures actually go below average towards the end of the month. I disagree. Any "cool down" we get (which I seriously doubt will happen anyway) will just be to near-normal temperatures. This will be a top ten warmest March at BWI for sure.

The Dude Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 80 in March is a 40 % chance so not that big of a deal unless mid to upper 80s though warm for sure. 10-11 70 + in a row is nuts though Bring it on. I've accepted this winter as a lost cause, so the next best thing is to skip the worthless 40s and rain and go straight to the 60-70s and sunny. I want to get as much of those in as possible before the miserable 90s and humidity show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Bring it on.

I want to get as much of those in as possible before the miserable 90s and humidity show up. Agree all the way with this. It was easy to write off winter as soon as early march was a winter no-show on the models during the last week of Feb. I'm probably wrong but I have a hunch that this summer isn't going to be brutal at all. I think we may have a favorable pattern in July-Aug to keep the deathly bermuda high from being dominant.

FrederickWX Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Agreed and thank God. Way too warm already. You probably have a decent chance (20-30%) at accumulating snow as well. I like photographing different types of flowers and early spring flora, so I don't want it to get too warm too fast. Tulips and other flowers disappear quickly when we get early season heat. So I would mind a period of 60s for awhile. In the 8 years we've lived up here, we've had three occasions where we've seen accumulating snow in April. One of those events was quite memorable, as we recorded 2-3 inches of accumulating snow, during daytime hours, in the second week of April. Latest snow event to accumulate that much that I've ever seen in this area, so it can and does happen. April snow would be fitting, given that our biggest snow event here was actually in October. The average person is going to be shocked when these May temperatures drop back to March or late-February levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say we do 6-7 The next 10+ days could very well be 70+ in addition to yesterday's... maybe even toss in a couple of 80+ highs. The GFS has 11 in a row, but any ill-timed rain/clouds/S wind at DCA could lead to a 68° "bust". Or a Euro situation where we get stuck in some sort of easterly flow. 64.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I disagree. Any "cool down" we get (which I seriously doubt will happen anyway) will just be to near-normal temperatures. This will be a top ten warmest March at BWI for sure. I agree that we are likely to see a top-10 warmest March, as this stretch of 70+ (with a couple of 80 degree days) won't be moderated much by a drop back to normal or below towards the end of the month. However, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we go below normal for at least a time as we get towards the end of March and into early April. Back in 1988, 1989 or 1990 (forget which year), while still in college, I remember a stretch of 3 or 4 days in March where we were in the upper-80s (Baltimore Harbor had temps recorded in the 90s). About a week later, we saw accumulating snow. Don't forget there is still a lot of very cold air in the northern hemisphere right now. Ocean temperatures are also still cold, so any type of easterly air flow will chill things significantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
