After a lovely weekend, our weather is taking a turn back to early April.  We will see below normal temperatures all week and next weekend is really going to take a dip.  Highs may only make it into the 40s.  I’ […]

What a wet weekend it has been! Many places across the I-5 corridor have picked up 0.25-0.75 inches of rain over the past 48 hours, but the Olympics and Coast Range have seen much more, with 1-2 inches common. […]

The final day of April catapulted both Dulles Airport and the longer-term Washington, DC into Top-10 total rainfalls for the month in their historical records. On April 30, 2020, the current official Washington, […]

Looking at the temperature map for May, it is looking pretty cool in our extended forecast.  I guess I can take my time putting the rest of the screens on my windows.  We received over an inch of rain the past t […]

March 2020 was significantly drier and warmer than normal. My maximum temperature average (60.6°) was 7.1° above normal but my minimum temperature average (41.9°) was even more significantly above normal (+ […]

Today will be a bit cooler than normal, and a few showers will hang around.  We aren’t expecting much rain and most of it missed us yesterday.  There was only 0.06″ in my gauge this morning.  It shouldn’t be to […]

After an absolutely wonderful day Tuesday, today is starting out very wet.  Highs rose into the mid 70s yesterday even though local weather gurus are showing our high to only be around 70°F.  I was sitting ou […]

We couldn’t ask for a nicer start to the day than what we have.  The sun is shining, the birds are singing in full chorus, and it is quite warm.  We do have rain in our forecast for later today, but we’ll just e […]

As the DC/Baltimore area is just about past its normal period of freezing weather in the Spring, it has been one of the milder seasons regarding freezing temperatures. Historically, most locations outside of the […]

Yesterday was lovely and today should be just as nice.  We took a drive out to Sleepy Hollow state park in Laingsburg, and couldn’t believe how many people were out there.  The parking lots had more cars that we u […]

Today looks to be quite nice with no rain in the forecast and highs near normal.  The wind will be a bit brisk but that’s okay.  We should see quite a bit of sun and that is always nice.  I think we’ll take a ri […]

Today is supposed to be cloudy but our morning is very sunny so far.  Highs should reach near the normal mark and it should be a decent day, even if we don’t see much sun.  There is no rain in the forecast until e […]

It seems good to have a mild morning for a change.  We received 0.27″ of rain yesterday and that seems to be over for a few days.  The weekend isn’t looking too bad and our highs should reach closer to normal in t […]

Yesterday was dry for the most part, but then snow showers began in the late afternoon and the snow accumulation was about 0.2″.   Late last night, it warmed a bit and the snow changed to rain.  Now there is no si […]

When I was trying to think of non forecast-related topics to blog about the other day, all the topics that came to my mind were depressing. I didn’t want to write about our worsening drought situation or the the […]

We should be seeing highs in the 60s this time of year and Mother Nature is giving us only 40s.  What’s worse is that this is expected to continue through the weekend.  We were having nicer weather in March.  Ye […]

More dynamic forces were at work during this latest period, as the strong, significant cold frontal passage on the 13th with accompanying severe weather and a pattern change to cooler temperatures carried […]
