pazzo83 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 DCA hit 32F. Still looking at one of the lowest number of <=32F days in a calendar year on record. We'll have had more 90+ days than <=32F days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In retrospect that's obvious, but when I asked it I was not thinking it would be so recent. Good to have that perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, as others have said. The last time we had the situation we see this year was 2020, which had 46 days of 90+ and 42 days of 32 or below. 2019 had 47 days of 32 or below and 62 90+ days (one of the highest on record). This year is remarkable though, with only 24 days with freezing temps (I don't think that includes today - so make it 25). From what I can see that is the lowest on record for DCA, with the next closest being 28 days in 1969. We'll see if we break that record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool little microclimates around there on these calm, cold mornings. Low of 34 on the hill in Reisterstown, but our Clarksville mesonet site dipped to 26. The 12z RAOB from IAD indicates a bit of an inversion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Departures for the month to date: BWI: +2.9F IAD: +3.2F DCA: +1.9F These will go up from here obviously through next Thursday or so. I’d guess another 1-2.5F in total? Then last few days of the year look BN. I’d guess we end around +4.5F? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suppose it's the oceans taking so long to cool off? It seems like the seasons have shifted by a month. April is the new March, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warmest departures from normal are coming in the next 6-7 days. Would you feel differently if there were normal temperatures outside of a single 7-10 day stretch where we hit 70 and struggled to get below freezing at night, and finished +2 / +3? Because it appears we are finishing a lot warmer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have profiles like New York. When you say "We don't have profiles like New York" does this mean that New York Meso station obs have vertical sampling? And how do they achieve that? Balloons? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
