Right now (1:30AM) it's 51F :) with mostly cloudy skies and expected to get up to 59F today but the cloudy skies will continue. Still, not too bad.

gekkogecko 02-28-2018 10:06 AM

Been warming up of late, although the temperature on any given day has been all over the place. Right now, it's 42F/5.6C, with a relative humidity of 61%, mostly sunny, with no rain expected, and a forecast high of 62F/16.7C.

dicksbro 03-01-2018 04:57 AM

43F with mostly cloudy skies getting up to 47F with ... you guessed it ... cloudy skies. :shrug:

dicksbro 03-02-2018 12:30 AM

36F with clear skies right now ... Thursday 3/1; 11:26PM. Getting up to 47F on Friday with mostly cloudy skies. Maybe not quite as windy today which should help that 47F feel much better.

gekkogecko 03-02-2018 11:54 AM

41F/5C right now: going up to a high of 43F/6.1C. Partly cloudy, and we have a high wind warning in effect.
...A HIGH-IMPACT WINDSTORM IS ONGOING FOR THE GREATER
BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON REGION OF THE MID-ATLANTIC OVERNIGHT THROUGH
EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...

At 7:00 AM EST, high winds have spread across the region, with
recently observed wind gusts at Washington Dulles International
Airport of 67 MPH, Washington Reagan National Airport of 62 MPH,
Naval Air Station Patuxent River of 66 MPH, Joint Force Andrews of
62 MPH, and Baltimore/Washington International Marshall Airport
of 52 MPH. Other high wind gust reports include of 69 MPH in
Gaithersburg in Montgomery County MD, and Ballenger Creek in
Frederick County MD.

Strong-to-damaging northwest winds will continue across the
region, sustained at 30-40 MPH, with gusts 60-70 MPH. Isolated
wind gusts could reach 80 mph, particularly at higher elevations
west of the Interstate 95 corridor. The strongest winds will occur
through Noon EST today; however, winds will continue to gust from
55-65 MPH this afternoon and continue through tonight.

This will be a prolonged, high-impact windstorm for the region,
with many downed trees and power lines expected. In addition to
the magnitude of the high wind gusts, the duration of the winds
will add to the hazardous nature of this event, as winds will
continue through the weekend before diminishing below 30 mph
Sunday afternoon. This will hamper the repair of power lines and
tree removal.

Widespread power outages are occurring. Travel is dangerous,
especially for high profile vehicles, and motorists need to be
aware of rapidly changing road conditions due to the potential of
downed trees and power lines. Pedestrians will face very
hazardous conditions, and need to be aware of wind-borne
projectiles. People should avoid being outside in forested areas
and around trees and branches. If possible, remain in the lower
levels of your homes during the windstorm, and avoid windows. If
you use a portable generator, follow manufacturer's instructions
and do not use inside homes, garages, or apartments.

^^^^ :yikes: Sounds like you folks really got a taste of Mother Natures sometimes fierce behavior. When I heard on the Weather Channel yesterday that the E. Coast could expect very strong winds I thought of all you and said some prayers for your safety. Hopefully none of you were hurt. :wish:

Here ... now ... we're at 33F and 10 min. to 1AM with clear skies getting up to 51F today with sunny skies. Winds should be in the 5-10mph range.

gekkogecko 03-03-2018 12:11 PM

Winds have died down to "only" 20-30mph (32-48kph). Temperature currently 44F/6.7C, mostly sunny, with a forecast high of 48F/8.9C.

dicksbro 03-04-2018 01:08 AM

35F with clear skies getting up to 51F with sunny skies today. Winds right now <5 mph.

Cool, but not bad right now and getting pretty nice later.

gekkogecko 03-04-2018 04:01 PM

Sunny and around the predicted high of 48F/8.9C right now; Some minor winds left over, but the big weather-related news is, the storm partially took down a highway sign in Northern Virginia; the authorities had to close the interstate in the middle of rush hour Friday, and the crane to finish removing the sign could operate in the winds even yesterday. Removing the sign is an 11-hour operation, so the interstate, along with a couple of more local roads, is *still* closed. Should be re-opened soon, though.

dicksbro 03-05-2018 04:48 AM

35F and partly cloudy at 3:47AM but only getting up to 44F today and rain is expected. Not going to be a pretty day although I suppose the farmers will be happy getting the moisture in the ground before they get their crops planted this spring. :)

gekkogecko 03-05-2018 10:52 AM

41F/5C right now, with a forecast high of 46F/7.8C. Sunny, with only 41% relative humidity. Little to no wind today. All in all, a fairly pleasant day for early March, compared to the first part fo the weekend, especially.

dicksbro 03-06-2018 03:06 AM

31F with clear skies at 2AM and only getting up to 40F with ... you guessed it ... cloudy skies. Seems like after a warm February we're facing a bit of a cold streak with several upcoming days not expected to get out of the 30's. :(

Come on Mother Nature ... quite teasing us with glimpses of spring. :wish:

gekkogecko 03-06-2018 05:29 AM

27F/-2.8C right now, with a forecast high of 47F/8.3C. Relative humidity 81%, with up to an 80-90% chance of rain this afternoon/evening, perhaps mixed with snow overnight.

dicksbro 03-07-2018 02:19 AM

Continuing with our return to more wintry like weather ... it's 32F at 1:15AM and only getting up to 33F today. Cloudy now and cloudy later. I think that darn groundhog came out again and saw his shadow one more time. :(

gekkogecko 03-07-2018 05:08 AM

33F/1C right now, with a forecast high of 43F/6.1C. Cloudy, with a 50% chance of mixed crud falling from the sky.

Let's see how the morning commuters react.

dicksbro 03-08-2018 01:12 PM

30F at 12:10 expected to get up to 36F. Bit cool for a spring run-up. Oh well. Have a good day!

dicksbro 03-09-2018 06:04 AM

21F with mostly clear skies right now (5AM) getting up to 40F but with cloudy skies.

dicksbro 03-11-2018 02:45 AM

Still cloudy skies by at 1:45AM it's at 32F and going up to 44F. Sounds like the winds won't be as strong as yesterday making it feel even better I hope. I still hope it warms up soon ... I've got a nasty ol' cold and want to shake it. I suspect a lot of warm fresh air would help a great deal. :wish:

gekkogecko 03-11-2018 11:34 AM

Currently 45F/7.2C. Mostly sunny, with a relative humidity of 42%, and no precipitation expected. Been a little colder than usual the past few days; forecast high is 47F/8.3C.

dicksbro 03-13-2018 05:00 AM

27F with clear skies now but tradition will take over and we'll have mostly cloudy kis with a high of 39F. Come on, spring is near, ease up a bit.

dicksbro 03-14-2018 02:09 AM

23F and clear skies at 2AM but getting up to 50F with sunny skies (SUNNY SKIES? :faint: ) later.

gekkogecko 03-14-2018 09:10 AM

32F/0C right now: projected high is 42F/5.6C. Partly cloudy, little windy (20-30mph/32-48kph maximum) today, relative humidity at 49%, no precip expected, though.

dicksbro 03-15-2018 01:18 AM

Clear skies and 39F right now (1:15AM) getting up to 51F with sunny skies today. Should be a nice day. Keep our fingers crossed anyway. :)

dicksbro 03-16-2018 03:05 AM

29F at 3AM with clear skies going up to 45F but returning to good ol' cloudy skies. Oh well, we had one beautiful day yesterday.

dicksbro 03-17-2018 02:57 AM

33F with mostly cloudy skies getting up to 42F but with rain showers beginning around 7AM and continuing until this afternoon sometime around 2PM. Doesn't sound like a real pretty day. One of the ladies in our Church is celebrating her 100th birthday today and it going to have her party at our Parish Hall. Should be fun, but it'd be nice if it was warm and sunny for her. This lady if a really nice lady and you wouldn't believe she was 100. Very active and sharp. God bless her.

dicksbro 03-18-2018 01:38 AM

31F and mostly clear skies at 1:30AM but, never fear, our mostly cloudy skies will return again today with the compensation of a high near 55F. Gotta admit, nicer temps sound good to me.

gekkogecko 03-18-2018 11:25 AM

50F/10C right now, with a forecast high of 54F/12.2C. Finally warming up, although it's not near the seasonal average for this area and time of year. Mostly sunny today, no precipitation expected, in high contrast to yesterday's snow.

dicksbro 03-19-2018 12:15 AM

Mostly clear and 37F at midnight going up to 54F today but with those dang ol' cloudy skies again.

gekkogecko 03-19-2018 09:57 AM

Mostly sunny today, with a predicted high of 56/13.3C. Finally, a seasonal average temperature. Right now, 48F/8.9C, with a relative humidity of 41%, and no precipitation expected.

dicksbro 03-20-2018 05:05 PM

It was suppose to get up to 44F today but with windy conditions it sure didn't feel even that warm. Wind was down right cold. Going to drop into the upper 20's tonight. Tomorrow's about the same ... getting up to 46F but with maybe a few peeks at the sun. Hope so. I'm tired of cloudy weather. :(

gekkogecko 03-21-2018 10:43 AM

As predicted, snow. Heavy snow right now. Fair bit of ice deposited last night before the snow hit; this is my least-favorite crap to deal with,, the most difficult. I'm not going to try and predict which of the various forecasts as to total snowfall is going to be accurate: I've heard anywhere from 3"-8". Current temperature is 30F/-1C, supposedly with a high of 33F/1C.

dicksbro 03-22-2018 01:29 AM

31F at 1:30AM with clear skies. Partly sunny today with a high near 51F. Just a wee taste of spring maybe.

gekkogecko 03-22-2018 04:32 AM

Currently 30F/-1C. Some ilngering patchy ice from yesterday's fall. Predicted high today of 45F/7.2C, so there should be significant melting. Total fall was around 3"-4" locally.

dicksbro 03-23-2018 03:40 AM

36f and mostly clear at 3:40AM getting up to 50F today but with cloudy skies returning. Can you believe it ... tomorrow they're predicting snow! :yikes: Boo, hiss! We need some new weathermen/women.

gekkogecko 03-23-2018 09:20 AM

40F/4.4C right now where I am. Mostly sunny, relative humidity 40% with no rain expected. Today's high temperature expected to be 47F/8.3C.

dicksbro 03-24-2018 01:51 AM

31F with light snow going up to 39F today with snow. I guess Mother Nature didn't look at the calendar ... it's suppose to be Spring! :(

dicksbro 03-25-2018 03:13 AM

After several inches of heavy wet snow yesterday ... it's 31F with mostly cloudy skies right now but it'll turn partly sunny with a high of 43F today. That'll help get rid of the snowy junk from yesterday.

dicksbro 03-26-2018 01:44 AM

31F with clear skies at 1:45AM going up to 52F with mostly cloudy skies (gosh, what a surprise). :(

Oldfart 03-26-2018 03:08 AM

It's back to normal, mid 90s with storms. It's a welcome change from last week's wet and windy with a lot of falling trees. Big trees.

gekkogecko 03-26-2018 10:38 AM

Still below normal for here this time of year: currently 38F/3.3C, mostly sunny, no precipitation expected, 71% relative humidity. Expected high 47F/8.3C.
