Monthly record at IAD is 93F, set on April 6, 2010, April 17, 2002 and April 25, 1960. Will likely come up short today, but it's within reach. Even if it falls short of the monthly record, still fairly rarefied air here. Last 90F+ in the month of April occurred in 2010.

IAD has done exceptionally well with monthly records over the last 16 months. The 79F on January 26, 2024 shattered the previous monthly record of 75F from 1/29/1975. The 80F reading on February 23, 2023, tied the previous monthly record set on February 21, 2018. The 100F reading on September 6, 2023 set a monthly record, with the three preceding days each tying the prior monthly record of 99F.

Surprisingly, the low on April 25, 1960 was a relatively chilly 48F. DCA was 95/58 on the same date.

Grass in the median of the highway is turning brown. I'm flip flopping on my drought stance! 

Guidance seems mostly consistent that our drier period ends starting this weekend. Euro and gfs both widespread 1”+

DCA is just rock solid on that S wind.  Will be interesting to see if a 90 squeaked through at some point.

had about a 15-20 min stretch of 32C (89.6F) on the 5 min obs (plus a bunch more times hitting it for 2 or 3 obs in a row), it usually sneaks in there when that happens.

yep - sure it's nice they get more snow and stuff, but the springs up there are god-awful.

I have no interest in that. Do I need it to be 90? No…I’m pro-“I don’t like climate change”. But I would take this over the 50s pretty much any day…primarily because that is a stratus cloud producing temp range around here. I’ve noticed we do much better with sun when the temps are 70+.
