Eskimo Joe Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Time sensitive, and I can't post a loop because of my el crapo network bandwidth, but you can see the low level flow from the NE at the surface trying to bleed across the Potomac. Pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Another nice spring day on tap. Just saw DCA has been 60 or above 20 out of the last 22 days with 10 days above 70. GREAT spring so far, and looking at a long string of highs in the 60s coming up. I even saw a hummingbird at the feeder this morning, which is about 10-15 days early compared to past years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, the GFS is showing that we don't get above 60 throughout the DC metro area on 5 of the next 6 days, but it could very well be overdoing clouds, and it will be way too cold with its temps if we end up with more sunshine.

Keeping my fingers crossed....we've been busting high on temps as a rule, at least in my local area, for the past two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Just got some hail at the house though of course the one time it hails I was out with my family on a drive. On the car ride though it went from nothing to hail but only 10 seconds of hail at most then at the house which was 2 minutes away there was piles of it, the most I've seen and I missed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not awful, but it's overall not going to be a particularly nice stretch of weather ahead, with lots of clouds and below average temps. Not to bash LWX too much, but their forecasts haven't really conveyed this very well in their products..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...I took off this weekend a couple weeks ago in the hopes that it would be a nice, warm stretch of weather to hit the beach but nope I could tell about a week ago the chances of a nice weekend this coming weekend was gonna be slim. Like you said not awful but likely will be in the 50s down the ocean with a breeze, clouds and light shower chances. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgottwald Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yesterday's forecast of partly sunny and 70 was a particularly bad bust, since temps actually *fell* throughout the day, into the mid-50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXW176 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 @mappy @WxUSAF @BlizzardNole @toolsheds Can any of y’all (and others I may have missed) kindly recommend a good hummingbird feeder? And your nectar ratio? Wanna try to add more pretty flying things around mi casa. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 62 and partly sunny. Perfect outside other than the gross smelling fresh cow flop based fertilizer on the fields out in front of my property. #ruralliving 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Cloudy and 52 here currently at 11:30. Might have a 'below' day, but doubt it. Except for the first 3 days of the month, we've been running above to much above area wide. Surprised at some of the 'cool' comments as we are running 2.5 - 4.0 degrees above normal for the month area wide! Easy people, it'll be 207ish soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just a little disappointed in the forecast this weekend...Im not sure NWS has it right with 60s and sun....It doesnt look awful in terms of rain but it seems like guidance wants to keep things a bit cooler...more like mid 50s...I was hoping for a run at 70 since Im going down to OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a number of college friends who still live up in the Lancaster County, PA area...I've been up there at, or near, to the time of fertilizer spreading, and the stench damn near makes your eyes water sometimes! Currently 63 with light rain. Started out the day in shorts but swapping for jeans right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
