Terpeast Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM Haven’t been following the forecasts lately. I got 0.76” last night. Was that within forecast range? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That matches what the short range models were showing this time yesterday. About 0.75 - 1.25 forecast thru the dc/balt metro areas. I got an inch, pretty satisfied with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Tuesday at 03:12 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:12 PM Looking at a linear regression of average daily high temperatures in the month of March at the District, we can see they have risen by nearly 8F since the late 19th century. If this rate of warming were to continue through the 21st century, March high temperatures would be predicted to reach near 62F. We see a couple of instances where positive anomalies from the linear regression predicted value were as high as 13F (1921 & 1945), suggesting very warm Marches could see average high temperatures in excess of 70F by the latter part of the 21st century in the District. One thing to note is each of the last six values have exceeded the values predicted by the regression, which suggests the possibility of an acceleration of warming relative to the long-term warming trend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to note is each of the last six values have exceeded the values predicted by the regression, which suggests the possibility of an acceleration of warming relative to the long-term warming trend. The LOESS curve helps us to spot deviations from the linear trend. In general, excursions have been relatively limited from the linear trend. Just some slight wiggles. Of note, the LOESS curve does predict lower temperatures in the 19th century and higher recent temperatures suggesting as much as 10F or more of warming. But the later period could be simply a positive wiggle or suggestive of non-linear behavior. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM While not as impressive as other locations, the mean daily range of 21.1F was good for 13th highest on record. It was the largest mean diurnal range observed in the month of March in the District since 1986. 1968 23.7 1923 23.1 1945 22.7 1907 22.6 1921 22.4 1918 22.0 1964 22.0 1966 22.0 1986 21.7 1920 21.6 1910 21.3 1938 21.2 2025 21.1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted Tuesday at 06:34 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:34 PM Hoping Saturday’s threat of rain isn’t an all day thing and is more spotty in nature. Hershey Park opening day. We can dodge showers and cooler temps is a plus, maybe the crowds won’t be as bad. An all day rain is a no go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An all day rain is a no go Some of my favorite memories as a kid were spotty shower cool April days at King's Island (Cincinnati) - a fraction of the people and could just walk onto the best coasters/rides over and over again.

I’ve never been great with heights (prefer to bike uphill than downhill), but I do like occasional roller coasters. I wasn’t ready for the vortex, though lol. Went to Hershey park last year…they’ve got a few good ones, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
