mattie g Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 This weather is perfect. Lets keep it this way for the next 2 weeks, k? thx Can't disagree with you at all. I might prefer a few extra degrees of warmth, but that's really nitpicking. The garden will enjoy the sun, for sure! Should be a beautiful day for my sister-in-law's wedding on Saturday...

Mrs.J Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I searched for a May Banter thread and did not fine one, so hope this is ok to post here... Total geek out moment but look what I just got! Found out my neighbor is just as into weather as I am so we split the cost and also got him an extra receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Coolish this morning. Temp reading on the home wx station was 48.1 at about 6:30a. Despite having above normal average temps, it feels like we've really lucked out this spring with regards to heat. I know we had some record highs in March, but during the month of April BWI, IAD and DCA only had three days with max highs at or above 80F. For DCA and IAD, that was the fewest number of 80F high temps in April since 2006. For BWI, it was the fewest since 2008. During the month of May, DCA and BWI have both had 6 days with a high of at least 80F and IAD has had 7 such days. That said, there have been 0 days with highs reaching 90F and the max highs for the three stations are 84 (DCA), 84 (IAD) and 85 (BWI). Still probably at or above normal, but doesn't seem so bad.

That being said, this is the first GFS run with such extreme temps. A five-day stretch of mid-90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 The easterly breeze was a nice touch this afternoon. Visible satellite is kind of cool with that low making a beeline toward "landfall" north of Norfolk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
