clskinsfan Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I guess we will use this thread for tomorrows possible flizzard. Really no point in starting a thread for a few possible snow showers after it is 60 degrees today. The 12Z NAM has a couple of hours of snow for tomorrow morning west of town though. 3K has the snow for tomorrow morning as well. It will probably end up the biggest event of the year so far out here. 59 degrees. NWS certainly isnt loving the chances of an inch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 At least the mild weather/rain is getting out in time for the 3-day weekend for the ski resorts in the mountains. Not ideal conditions given the rain/sleet/ice that'll fall prior to the snow/cold but better than 50 and rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I and our friends were at Snowshoe for President's Day Weekend () back in like 2007 or so, and we were at probably 48 with drizzle for about 24-36 hours. It was bad, but it made the tubing runs pretty slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the kind of weather that calls for day drinking playing pool/darts or a good tube run like you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George BM Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Impressive dewpoint of 66F at IAD right now with a temperature of 68F at 12:30pm. Interestingly today's record max temp and warm min temp of 70F and 49F respectively at IAD were both set just last year. The warm min record will easily be broken. As for the record high... it may at least try to be tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year on this date we set the record for the warmest high temp on 1/12 at 70, and the record for the highest low temp for the date at 45. Today looks to shatter both of those records. We have a shot at a daily mean departure greater than +30. The last time a +30 day happened was December 24, 2015. On December 22, 2013 we were +32. We might have a shot to surpass that.

frostbite_falls Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Hi--can anyone give some insight on fog conditions from Baltimore south past DC? I have a daughter planning to head back to college this evening and wondering if a trip delay is advised. Of course tomorrow AM may be problematic too. Thanks!
