"Because there is always a 100% chance of weather!"
Spring came in with a Bang yesterday for me! About 2:30 Thunder rolled through the Washington Area and produced ¾ inch hail briefly in Fairfax. Today and tomorrow we will enjoy near seasonal weather. A chance of strong to severe storms possible southern Virginia on Wednesday. Another chance of Rain Friday into Saturday and maybe…
I hear her, singing, Winter is over!! Yep, it is Springtime and the pattern is trying to edge in that direction, but having a harder time. It appears that the first week of April may be the first time we really feel like spring! We face a quick hitting rain event tonight. Some mild conditions,…
Today a judge in Florida will order the removal of a feeding tube from Terri Schiavo. She is not in a Coma like the media has stated. She is a woman with brain damage who sustains herself without any problems except she needs a feeding tube to eat! She responds to her mom and dad,…
Snow is looking likely Southwestern Virginia near the North Carolina and Virginia Border, especially the higher elevations. Snow Possible further north and needs to be watched, but strong Negative North Atlantic Oscillation is suppressing storms to the south leaving us colder than normal. Pattern Change will not happen until after the 21st now. Many systems…
3/10 Snow Possible Overnight I am concerned that light snow tonight will be problematic in the DC Metro area causing long commutes Friday morning. The ground is sufficiently cold to support sticking even if a small accumulation occurs the commute can easily become a crawl. Snow Accumulations will be light east of the mountains, but…
High winds and cold temperatures will remain Snow will be ending rapidly west to east this early afternoon. Total accumulations have generally been .5″ to as much as 3″ Please note that slush will freeze as soon as the sun sets, so be careful. The positive of the wind will mean drying should occur as…
Snow has been falling and is very heavy. Side streets and parking lots are getting accumulations. NWS is issuing snow advisories due to the heavy snow and temperatures now down to freezing or below in many areas. Accumulations are occurring west of the DC Metro area and snow line should continue east. Temperatures are…
Pattern will get cold after the second day of warmer weather. Strong signs that the pattern will turn Spring Like in about a week! There are possibilities of snow between now and then but nothing set in stone! Where are we headed? It appears that in about 1 week we will see the Polar Vortex…
The system Tomorrow Night will have rain changing to snow. There is some potential for more snow than forecasted, but just a chance. Hard to determine which wave in the pattern may be a big storm. Right now this Friday/Saturday looks the best for this, but Wednesday Night may still hold some possibilities. As noted…
The best winter pattern I have seen in years is about to set up. Potential for any system to become a more important system than forecast. Today we have convective precipitation that will end up being snow this afternoon! Nothing too much in accumulation, but, yes, there could be some thunder snows out there! The…
