Probably Hrrr overdoing it butt... Warm sector pain. I googled Tornado and Washington DC and see it is a rare occurrence but did see this interesting piece of info. The most significant tornado to ever hit Washington, D.C., came on August 25, 1814, as British troops were burning the city during the War of 1812. While the city was burning, a massive storm – which may have included both a hurricane and a tornado – hit the city. During the storm, a tornado traveled down Constitution Avenue and reportedly threw multiple canons through the air. At least 30 people were killed in the storm, which caused serious damage to structures in D.C. – including some the British had not burned. The storm did, however, have the effect of helping to douse the fires set by British troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 @paweatherwe wouldn’t have even had to go all the way to North Dakota to see snow, it sounds like parts of Michigan saw flakes and parts of central/western Wisconsin had minor accumulations on grassy surfaces.

Leaving for OBX next Saturday...let's see if I can top the 10" of rain that I received last year on vacation down there. If anyone can get more than 10" of rain from one week at the beach...it'll be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbler86 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Without a shred of evidence and only stating assumption, I am guessing this is the most this forum has talked about snow on any Memorial day in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had initially showed the rain up here but kept contracting and most only affected you down there. You know this but I would not worry too much about day 8-9 GFS forecasts.

Correct - though the overall pattern suggests that unsettled weather probably returns by the end of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, what model last Friday wasn’t showing 80s-90s for PA on D8-9? On second thought, you could cherry pick a day from just about any GFS run at any time of the year and find temps 20-30 degrees below normal.

The stats I keep tells me the GFS is 75% accurate on Day 8-9. Let me recalibrate my stat machine first though. * Sorry it is now at 3%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong the GFS (new or old) supplies us fodder for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in all honesty, it does seem to do better than most with pattern changes. That’s why I’m worried about all these 90s in later portions of most runs.

The Euro must have some type of built in procedure to limit run to run changes as when it is wrong it just keeps going to the well with its wrongness. The GFS flips the script every 6-12 hours if needed. As far as summer returning June 6/7th, I am afraid we would be asking too much for this extended late winter/spring weather to continue too far into June.

Indeed, it wouldn’t be summer without 90 degree temperatures being around on a regular basis. Except for 2004, where the temperature never even got to 88 at Pittsburgh, which is incredible every time it pops into my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the damage to our farmers, a summer of 1816 would be interesting to live though. Cape May had frost 5 days in a row in June. Frost in South VA in August.
