DCA failed to hit 35˚F yesterday, and is not forecasted to do so through at least Thanksgiving, although there will be close calls. This means there should be the third longest streak above 35, and third latest 35 degree day on record

If DCA manages a trace of snow tomorrow, it would be the earliest trace since November 15, 2018. Since 1990, only three years have seen first snow in November (1995, 1996, 2018)

Let's talk a bit about Thanksgiving and why it will be warm for the eastern US, there is a few reasons. First is we look at Eurasian weather. History tells us when there is high pressure near Kazakhstan, a jet stream retraction will occur. Good graph from @webberweather.bsky.social below

Wouldn't be surprised to see flakes flying NW of 95 Friday morning. String vortmax and subfreezing temperatures a mile up/surface will help produce flakes. Likely no accumulation, but should see snow falling in areas like Hagerstown and Cumberland

NWS is forecasting a low of 34 on Thursday. If that happens, it would break what will be the 4th longest streak above 35˚F. It would also be the 6th latest day at 35˚F on record

DC will set the record for consecutive days without rain today at 35. That may end tomorrow as a little bit of rain is in the forecast

Has it felt dry lately? Today is the fourth longest streak without measurable rain in Washington DC. Rain did fall this morning, but was not measurable. Looking at the forecast there might be rain Thursday. But it is looking Wednesday the record will be broken.

Today hit 82˚F which makes it the third warmest Halloween on record. Warmest in 74 years. 82 degrees today makes it the 5th warmest temperature this late in the year.

The rainless streak is in serious jeopardy as a front will arrive and bring rain Friday morning.

Has it felt like there hasn't been a lot of snow recently in Washington DC of late? You wouldn't be wrong. The last five years have been the least snowiest on record and it isn't close. For 2020-2025 to be snowier than 1997-2002 we'd need 10.8" of snow this season.

If Washington DC does not receive rain by November 6, it will set the all time record for consecutive days with no rain.

What a project. The 10/10/24 Twitter report compilation is complete. Here is what we have learned and how you can find yourself. Over 1500 reports from the website plotted on google maps and could potentially mold into other things because all reports have UTC times.

The last time it rained in DC Was October 2. That is the 11th longest streak on record. With no rain for at least a week, no reason why this cannot get into the top 5.

With #Oscar being named, this is the 8th time since 2016 the season has reached 15 named storms. 2022 was the lone year that did not. With the 15th storm, we are now officially above average for named storms. Ten hurricanes ties for 5th most on record. Most since 2020.
