A partly cloudy day on Tuesday with highs up in the low 70s and a 30 POP for showers and even possibly a thunderstorm. Then on Wednesday and Thursday sun returns with high temps up in the mid 70s. A 30 POP for showers on Friday with continued temps in the low 70s, then cloudy to partly cloudy on the weekend, a bit unsettled, with more 70s for highs.

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.

It was kind of cold, especially in the upper Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on sunshine level. Presumably we have 4 hours of heating left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

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...

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...

You probably have a decent chance (20-30%) at accumulating snow as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
