weatherfan2012 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 True those normally April and even may tend to be problematic for severe weather here mostly due when you do get systems we tend to get on the cool ocean flow it not until June really when storm events increase.

Phil Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Winds just gusted to 77.1mph @ Fort Belvoir, VA. Snowshoe hit 64mph earlier. I'm estimating gusts between 40-50mph here right now..downsloping ftw. Sucks that my anemometer is blocked by big trees, which now have fully leafed out.

Phil Posted May 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We're in a hot spot for wind today, apparently. My anemometer is surrounded by mature trees and still picked up a 38mph gust this morning. In reality that gust was probably close to 50mph, but even the 38mph gust is stronger than the peak gusts measured at both Dulles and Reagan, both of which are better-sited than my station in terms of wind exposure.

weatherfan2012 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Heavy rain this morning is a surety but severe looks like it likey stays south but elevated thunder can't be ruled out look like we likey have to wrait late may or june for a more favorable pattern hopefully June proves to be active.some of the signs do point to June being active in our region last time we saw a good severe season was 2012 so we are due for an event or two this summer mines well enjoy this upcoming cool pattern as many things are lining up for another blow torch this summer.

Phil Posted May 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Looking at the modeling, I think it's safe to say our seasonal transition is just about complete, and we enter the summer pattern during the upcoming workweek. June looks like a warm month as well. At least the cool/wet cycle only lasted 2 weeks this year, which is closer to climo. Last year it lasted the entire month of May.

Phil Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Torchy.
