Leaves and Temps Starting to Change...

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 12:01:03 -0500

We have had our first cold blasts of Fall and the warm days will be fewer and farther apart. Today's temps are warmer than it has been, but they won't last. Another cool push of air will move in tonight.

Still Breezy and Cool...

...but hold on, things will settle down this week.

With All That's Going On...

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 06:21:00 -0500

...of course it has to rain.

Wet and Chilly... Quite a Change!

After record heat and a dry stretch of weather, things really changed this afternoon and into the evening. The cooler weather settled in quickly behind the cold front. Now that the moisture has arrived, it really feels like late fall.

Think it will be an unusually cold winter? You can put money on it in the financial markets...

Yes, weather is a tradeable commodity...

Clear skies and a full moon have made for pretty nights..

Notice anything else about our celestial satellite?

Fall's busting out all over

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:57:29 -0500

Fall foliage is nearing peak in the Virginia mountains, and a return to fall-like temperatures in the forecast.

It's That Time of Year...

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 06:36:11 -0500

...by that I mean hop on board the temperature roller coaster.

Record warmth on the way??

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:58:26 -0500

While we are not expected to break a record next week, it could be close!

Bracing for a Hurricane...

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 06:06:49 -0500

...in the southwest?

Winter Storm!

No, not here, but what's happening out west does have something to do with why our weather will be so nice...

Why the water is so warm in the fall

Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:11:23 -0500

If you ask most people whether the water around here in the Bay and the Ocean is warmer in early June or early October you would probably find very few would give the correct answer. That's because early June is the beginning of summer break and meteorologically speaking is the start of summer, while mid October is well into Autumn.

It can change just that quickly

When you woke up Wednesday morning you were probably shivering. This morning, not so much. Why?

It won't be long before the first frost

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 23:24:55 -0500

Tonight we still have many hours to go before we see the overnight lows and readings are already dropping well down into the 40s in outlying and rural locations. Even spots in the city or by the beaches will get down near 50. What's the significance?

Another Spectacular Day...

It is tough to beat lots of sunshine and pleasantly cool temperatures. That's what we'll find across the region today as highs top out in the upper 60s (slightly warmer inland.)
