Deck Pic Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Forcasting persistance looks good for April. Here's the April composite for the top 5 warmest Marches: Just for giggles, here's the following JJA. Cool summer coming? Here is my latest prediction April: +8 May: +6 June: +5 July: +3 August: +5 September: +5 October: +7 November: +6 December: -5 January: +9 February: +3 DCA snow: 7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm kidding of course. Sort of. I knew you were but not really. lol Jokes aside, we've had alot of summer heat the last 5 years or so. I think one summer was not hot? Can't remember which year but I do remember a relatively recent summer where we didn't hit 90 degrees much at all (2009?) and I was able to leave to AC off more often than not. Last 2 combined have been face melters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris87 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 what's happening at ORD is incredible...today's 78 will break up an 8-day streak of 80+...sick it's beyond incredible...10 days at 80F or above in a ~150 year record....5 (so far) this year....we probably don't have a long enough historical record to compute how often an event was likely to occur but it's rare.

MN Transplant Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 what's happening at ORD is incredible...today's 78 will break up an 8-day streak of 80+...sick I'd contend that International Falls is more impressive. They threw up a +44 today. Breaking records by 20 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'd contend that International Falls is more impressive. They threw up a +44 today. Breaking records by 20 degrees. Provided their temp doesn't get below 60F, today's min will TIE the previous record high. That is off the charts absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needbiggerboat Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks like a new high min for the day at DCA, breaking 1945's 60 Assuming no big drop post-tstorm later on, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 3/27 - 3/31 is going to make the record a close call though we probably clear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 We are also locked in to the warmest astronomical winter (approximately December 21st to March 20th each season) and the warmest composite meteorological/astronomical winter (December 1st to March 20th each season). Each of these two measures of winter currently (through March 13th) show average temperatures of 44.4 degrees in DC, versus the previous astronomical winter record of 43.7 in 1989-90 and the previous composite winter record of 44.0 in 2001-02. The final numbers for the 2011/12 astronomical and composite winters are 45.9 and 45.6 degrees, respectively. Thus, the record for the warmest astronomical winter was broken by 2.2 degrees and the record for the warmest composite winter was broken by 1.6 degrees. When the astronomical winter warm record was last broken (in 1989-90), it was only by 0.2 degrees, and when the composite winter warm record was last broken (in 2001-02), it was only by 0.9 degrees.

Deck Pic Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 If the month ended today, ORD would have DC's 3rd warmest March on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyS Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (March projected) 57.5/57.6 The 1981-2010 April normal temperature in DC is 56.9. So, if the March projected temperature holds and we have a normal April, March 2012 would be warmer than April 2012. There is historical precedent for such an anomaly -- March 1907 was warmer than April 1907, the respective numbers being 48.8 and 48.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astarck Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I thought we were farther ahead than this... Climate... so far this is the warmest Mar at dca (56.4 vs. 56.1 in 1921)...#2 at BWI (55.O in 1921 vs. 53.4)..and far and away #1 at iad (53.5 vs. 50.6 in 1990). Likewise so far this month has had the highest average min temperatures at dca and iad...#4 at BWI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I thought we were farther ahead than this... We are at 56.9 after yesterday. Have to also remember that temps at the end of the month are a fair deal warmer than the start, so comparing current vs end of month isn't always the greatest route.

MN Transplant Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 GFS says we have it easy. Euro is a bit touchy. A chilly Tuesday followed by an unsettled final two days of the month. Still on track at DCA, but it may be closer than we thought a few days ago. Via the NWS, we beat it by 0.9, only by about 0.4 per my guess of the Euro temps off wunderground.
