With DCA gusting 40+ for 28 consecutive hours and IAD for 36 hours consecutive A huge debris pile in Laurel caught fire and with wind was out of control and I think 95 south was closed for couple hours we don’t do Winter so good but we do Wind. Indeed. And you remember well the wind event of March 2018...the one thing I recall is that's the event that felled for good the "original" Potomac Mills mall sign on I-95. Also, I snapped these pics of two unfortunate homes in my neighborhood that did NOT well weather that particular event. Hard to believe that this happened five years ago!https://photos.app.goo.gl/tbpHvnNHWKQsAuBS9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, as I recall, you're slightly younger than a lot of us checking in here, but....you'll soon be building out the "infrastructure" of your own apartment/condo/home soon enough, and all of the good info and details that @Stormflyshared in his post will make sense soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m tracking the return of the SER. F this NAO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F this NAO.I’ve got one eye out for the warm weather and one eye out for a Hail Mary, but I know one thing…2-3 consecutive days of chilly wind as part of the deal in getting periodic non-accumulating snow showers is challenging lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Getting some vibes that the wind is finally starting to relax a bit. We do moderate wind pretty well at times, but that was an extended gradient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was impressive to wake up yesterday to the same type of winds that we went to bed with on Tue evening...and they ramped up nearly to Tue's level of torque yesterday. Quite a stretch! Currently 27 here, with zero wind...thank God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On route 1 bypass north of Belair we witnessed a 10-50 (crash) where a large tree fell across the highway and a vehicle ran into it. All airbags deployed.

We lived on the top floor of a downtown apt building, and man you could hear it once the wind really picked up. The next day they closed the pedestrian bridge connecting the Tysons Corner silver line station and the plaza by the mall and office buildings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 From Mount Holly morning AFD- FIRE WEATHER... A dry cold front has passed through overnight. Humidity only recovered to around 40 to 50 percent overnight, and is already decreasing early this morning from the Delaware River northwestward. Colder and drier air will spread into the region today, with high temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s, and surface dew points dropping well into the single digits. West- northwest winds will be sustained 15 to 20 mph with 25 to 30 mph gusts much of today. Min RH values this afternoon will range from 20 to 25 percent. Additionally, 10-hour fuel moisture at most area RAWS were in the 7 to 9 percent range Saturday evening, with little recovery overnight, and may tend slightly drier this afternoon. After coordination with fire weather partners on Saturday, a Red Flag Warning has been issued for our New Jersey zones, while a Special Weather Statement is in effect for our Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware zones for Sunday.

nw baltimore wx Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 BWI up to 39 last hour. If they could somehow stay there, it would be the first sub-40 day since early February and would only be the 5th time since Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, they should crack 40 this hour. What a craptastic winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a craptastic winter. We only got below 25 degrees a dozen times this winter. We truly were riding the suck train even in the NW suburbs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
