This is crazy, they are talking possible record highs tomorrow 68 at Reagan. They are also eluding now to cold setting in mid to late next weak. Not brutally cold yet, low of 20 high of 34. Appears we may be making the change to winter from the 8-14th or so.

Be patient Jeb-cold is coming for your next weekend Jebwalk.

lowpressure... if you lived in the heartland that wouldn't be crazy at all. We have wild swings in the weather all the time.

Thanks Lowpressure

I wish I could visit the parts of Canada where its -35 degrees. Man that would sure be one heck of a Jebwalk, in a nice refreshing stiff 35 mph wind!!

Lol, ain't gonna happen lol

I have seen many a wild swing in winters past. I recall one day in January of 1982 when it was 66 degrees at 7 AM one morning, and 10 degrees at 7 AM the next morning. And that is still tame compared to some of the swings that happen in the plains/midwest.

Jeb, somehow I picture Rocky running through the Russian Siberian landscape when he is preparing to fight Ivan Drago every time you say Jebwalk. When it gets that cold, I will come up to Woodbridge and walk with you if you wish.

Rocky IV, I watched that movie almost as many times as I watched Twister!!

They had 2 feet of snow there where Stallone was doing his workouts. He is such a lucky dog! I wish I could visit a place like that! All that snow, temps way below zero for 6 months out of the year!!! I'd show 'em how to shovel snow! Now walking THERE would be a REAL winter jebwalk!!!

it is possible that DC gets into the mid 60s (i dont know about nearly 70...though).

The 18z ETA sounding at IAD (Dulles VA) has 850 mb temps progged around +11C with a strong west southwest flow (235 deg at ~34kt). Given the fact that we are in the winter season (and the sun angle is MUCH lower...leading to LESS in the way of surface heating)...that should translate to temps in the mid to perhaps upper 60s...

so in a large part it will depend on how much sun the DC metro area sees tomorrow afternoon as the determining factor in whether or not the area will see temperatures approaching 70.

Pretty interesting

We will have to monitor things over the next 156 hours, just in case we DO get wintry precip......ice can be really bad news here.

Thanks for the heads up Cheesy_Poofs!!

Cheesy, yeah I looked at that a little while ago. Looks like we are in for a change. If NWS is saying that, something is coming, because they are always conservative in D.C

Cheesy_Poofs · #11 Postby **Cheesy_Poofs** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 4:11 pm

No problem Jeb!

Yeah, this does look intresting!

I'm about to watch NBC4 to see what they say for next friday!

Cheesy- NBC 4 is talking about the fattest cities in the country. Detroit is number 1 and Houston is number 2. D.C. ranked 25th. I am waiting on the forecast.

Weather.Com's Woodbridge VA weather page is interesting.

http://www.weather.com/weather/local/22 ... Undeclared

They have forecasted some truly refreshing cool weather for us, beginning on Tuesday:

Tue Jan 6...........44/26

Wed Jan 7...........40/23

Thu Jan 8.............38/12 Was that low of 12 a typo or is it REAL? Hmmm.........we'll see, I hope it verifies!

Fri Jan 9...............34/16 Another refreshing cool overnight low, if it verifies, a bit too refreshing to keep the windows open lol.

Sat Jan 10.............30/23

Sun Jan 11.............37/18

These projected temperatures would be a considerable improvement over the torrid warm temperatures we will have to endure tomorrow and the next day.

NBC 4 did not get to specific other than to say a winterlike cool down next week, graphic just had highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s for that time period.

chadtm80 · #18 Postby **chadtm80** » Fri Jan 02, 2004 4:29 pm

12???? Here is your 7 day here on storm2k.. We show your low of 21 http://storm2k.nhcwx.com/cgi-bin/hw3.cg ... daysonly=2

Well Jeb, according to the NWS your coldest night this week will be Tuesday with a low of 23, so I wonder why the weather channel has 12*?! http://www.crh.noaa.gov/forecasts/VAZ05 ... Woodbridge

NBC4 didn't really say anything about next friday, they just had increaseing clouds on the extended outlook for next friday.
