I become nostalgic whenever I see them. "Currently the temperature is 48 degrees under partly cloudy skies"...... Really it is 48F w/ partly cloudy skies IMBY.

poolz1 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 That emulator is great! Getting all nostalgic.... I always hated the travel forecast...what a waste of time but it was required that you muscle thru to get the real meat and potatoes forecast. It's LOCAL on the 8's for crying out loud!

I tried to google the issue, and it didn't help either. I only got to see the config home page pop up for about half of a second before being killed by my computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 LWX has upped the amount of rain forecast for here for today and tonight. Should be interesting to see what falls.

MillvilleWx Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Bwi blows out another forecast low. 35 forecast with 30 as actual low.Yeah. When I left BWI area last night, my car thermometer already read 35 towards the Long Term parking at 1030pm. Not sure what’s going on over there with the low forecasts. Lots of busting cold early on.

WVclimo Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 0.33" of rain so far. Just went up a degree to 37, the high for the day to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 NWS just trimmed back the rain. Looks like we will see a few sprinkles between 2am and 5am, then basically a bit of a windex event, gusts to 45 mph. Pretty much what I expected - less than one five hundred twelfth of an inch of rain east of the mountains, while the rain up north steals all the moisture from us. Welcome to La Nina in Washington.

MN Transplant Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Winds really picked up after 9. The south winds feel more reminiscent of a spring frontal passage with storms. Gust to 39 at DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
