SilentTalkie Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 About .45 inches today in Western Albemarle to start the week. Rain/mist/fog most of the day on lee side of mountains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it’s East wind an then it s hard to imagine sun. Totally agree. If we get a prolonged period of sun in the back half of May it’s hard to imagine not hitting the 70s.

Unless it’s East wind an then it s hard to imagine sun. That was my point/click forecast. Its been adjusted to mostly cloudy for today now. Either way with that strong high to the NE and a stiff ENE wind, it can absolutely keep temps in the 60s here even with some sun. In the urbanized areas further inland, probably not.

CAPE Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Mostly clear skies and 51 as the sun comes up. Pretty morning. Looks like the first part of the day will feature some sun at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just flip the switch right to 90 instead of enjoying a few weeks of 75 degree temps. Ahhhhh, our climate. May looks great on paper with avg highs rising through the 70s, then there's reality. Through the 18th, Dulles has had only FIVE (!) days in the 70s; all the rest 50s, 60s and 80s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 As that high builds southward today and with Arthur offshore, the winds are going to really pick up here. Gusts to 30 in the forecast. Also looks like any clouds that build throughout the day should be mostly cirrus, so probably will see a decent amount of sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well, off to a roaring start on the rain front for the week. Broke a daily rainfall record with 1.22 inches in the 'ol CoCoRaHS gauge, old record was 1.15 inches from 2003. Got to love that orographic lift. It is raining with an E wind at 9 mph and currently 50.1/48.8. That may be the high for the day as forecast is for it to be steady or drop a degree or two thru the day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Lol, the time we finally do get a ridge in the east, it's all the way up in canada and we have easterly flow until the 27th. Memorial day looks to be in the low 70s here. I need it to actually be warm like its supposed to be for late May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Yaaay wind. Over performed again. Must be gusts to 40. Tree debris everywhere again. Living in the woods is fun. Can also see how dry its become- lots of blowing dust and dirt from the fields driving home. At least there was some sun much of the day. High was 66. Down to 63 now with clouds moving in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Another cool, cloudy, and windy (YAY!) day. Welcome to the perpetual March. Had an hour of the faintest hint of sun around noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 More twigs and stuff down than normal because we don’t see a lot of these moderate sustained winds from the East. Nice gradient between the high and the departing storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Certainly a bit breezier than desired for today but I thought it was pleasantly nice otherwise. Was a great day to just sit out and hang out at the park and make sure no buttheads broke park protocols. A somewhat surprising amount of sun and almost made it to 70.

No big branches down here, but lots of small ones, and a bunch of twigs and general tree debris everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Starting out cloudy and 50, but hoping for some sun and less wind today. Gonna be chilly though. How would you like this forecast? Concord, NH LOL. Today Sunny, with a high near 73. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Thursday Sunny, with a high near 78. Calm wind becoming southwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Friday Sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming west around 5 mph in the afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Another typical November day. Cloudy, cool and shitty once again. It's been the same temperature for 7 solid months. Never seen anything like it. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another 0.47 in the bucket this am, so 1.69 so far. That is NOTHING to what is happening just to my south from Rocky Mount thru Roanoke and Blacksburg to below Beckley WV. 3-5 inches there....yikes. Anyway, the skies lightened a bit around 10 am here and the temp pushed up to 52 degrees. Then a thundershower and back into upper 40's and fell rest of day/night on E to ENE breezy winds. That 52.0 was good enough for a new record 'cool max', beating 1981's 54 degree reading. 52.0/42.1 high low. Currently 42.6/39.9 and that heavy rain is right on my doorstep and moving in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal how stuck we are in perpetual drab weather...oh look, more low 60s and muck! Next week is looking better for now — but I’m sure some kind of ULL will show up on models and screw things up.

Eskimo Joe Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 06z GEFS mean precip for Thurs - Fri is 1" - 2" for I-95 west. 12z GFS op with 1" - 1.5" rain Thurs - Fri for I-95 west. Given our track record of late, we can probably expect 15 min of drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Sunday and Monday look like the ideal late Spring days so many have been longing for- partly to mostly sunny with high temps of 70 or so, with lows in the 50s. Sounds about perfect to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
