Phil Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Looks like BWI 54mph, DCA 55mph, IAD 46mph. In other words, it’s March. Calming down a bit here. Though I suspect there’ll be another uptick as CAA increases later this evening.

Phil Posted March 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Raining pretty good today. Just passed 0.6” here, DCA is at 1.5”. Over-performer for sure. Stretch of warm weather begins tomorrow. Could be 4 straight of 70s with 80s possible Friday, along with some gusty W/SW winds in the 40-50mph range, possibly stronger further N.

Phil Posted March 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Warm, windy morning. Tulip poplars, willows, and a few other species are leafing out. Temp is ~ 77°F, dewpoint 63°F. Very comfortable. Wind advisory in effect for 50mph gusts this afternoon. Already had one ~ 40mph gust ~ 15mins ago. Front is crossing the Blue Ridge now, where a high wind warning is in effect for 60-65mph gusts.

Phil Posted March 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Raining with some distant booming thunder as of 615AM. Looks like elevated convection is developing ahead of the warm front. First thunderstorm of 2021! Should be a dynamic day. We’ll probably get (briefly) warm sectored this afternoon ahead of the cold front, w/ a strong wind field to tap into and modest sfc CAPE. Squall line/T-storms should blow through this afternoon along/just ahead of the cold front, followed by strong gradient winds gusting to 50mph or so.

Phil Posted March 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Heard multiple trees go down in the woods. One fell on a house, another on power lines on Heatherhill Rd. Gusts were easily 55+mph. My tree-obstructed anemometer registered a 51mph gust, which usually means winds are much stronger at the treetops. Strongest of the year so far.

Phil Posted April 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Feels like January out there. Snow showers yesterday with winds gusting between 30-40mph. Like a typical January NW flow day with April sun angles. Lol. This morning, wind chills dipped into the upper teens. Barely hit 40°F by noontime despite full sunshine. Afternoon high was 45°F. Could drop into the middle 20s tonight.

Phil Posted April 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Had our first two thunderstorm days early in the week. Nothing even remotely severe but it was nice to hear thunder again. Now we have a dynamic pattern coming up over the next 10 days. Multiple opportunities for sharp cool fronts, forced squalls, and comfortable temperatures. Currently 57 degrees with fair weather cumulus and NW winds 25-35mph. Beautiful.

Phil Posted April 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Interesting week of weather. Rough winds last Wednesday afternoon, much stronger than projected and stronger than anything we saw over the winter. Followed by two consecutive subfreezing nights. Then a much needed 0.7” of rainfall last night. Trees looking happier again, after the young foliage got battered last week. Now partly to mostly sunny and in the mid-60s with a fresh NW breeze. Tomorrow looks like a sunnier version of today. Then Tuesday - Thursday look much warmer with highs in the mid-80s, and lows in the upper 50s to middle 60s. Followed by another spring cold front. Love this time of year.

Phil Posted April 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 High Wind Watch from 11AM Friday to 5AM Saturday. This one looks legit..strong cold/dry advection under a tropopause fold plus a downsloping component. Given duration + leaves on trees, I think it’d be prudent to go with a high wind warning N/W of the fall line, assuming guidance holds. If it were February or March, maybe I’d play it safe w/ a wind advisory for 55+mph, but it’ll probably be close either way. Currently 81 degrees and a bit humid with mostly cloudy skies.

Phil Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Already roaring out there this AM. Have had several gusts near/over 45mph already. I think this evening is gonna be rough with that vortmax/tropopause fold slicing through the region. Latest in the season I can recall being under a high wind warning. At the moment it runs from 12 noon to 2AM. Strongest winds likely in the 5pm-midnight window, in my opinion.

Phil Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Big time winds with that rain shower. Shook the house, our ears popped. Mixed down pretty much all of the available wind aloft thanks to evaporative cooling. At least 60mph, possibly stronger.

It was a legit day. First line gapped us but the second one was a beast. Pulsing gusts at/above 60+mph and a torrent of rain and lightning. Some of the heaviest rain I’ve ever seen, in fact. Overwhelmed the gutters and cascaded off the roof like a waterfall. Wind core passed directly overhead.

And the next 2 weeks don’t look to have any extended periods of heat. But I fear what’s brewing in July. E-Hem MJO could be a furnace esp if it’s slow to propagate out of the Indo-Pacific. We’ll see.
