9/21/2022 – Last day of Summer and it is about to feel fall like! We do have a pretty warm day. Late tonight and early tomorrow we may have some gusty showers and maybe even a thunderstorm as the front comes through and brings breezy dry air into the area. Temps will be around 50 tomorrow night and the mid-40s Friday night.
Saturday is the Leesburg Air Show! It is fun and I strongly recommend it!
Friday through Tuesday look dry. Now, I am watching late next week for how a tropical system may impact us! WAYYYYY too many questions, but I do worry about the Gulf Coast and what could be a tropical system next week. IT MAY have some impact here, but this is just way too far out! I am hoping this does not become a big storm!
Otherwise, we look cooler than normal overall and drier unless we get that tropical influence!

Hot and humid conditions will be prominent today through Monday with daily chances of showers and storms, especially tomorrow through Tuesday! The best chances of rain will be Friday and Saturday. We will want to watch for potentially heavy rain and maybe some strong storms as well.

The longer-range is looking interesting as we have a return of the cooler temps from the north due to a more favorable pattern. I do not know about you, but my yard is the healthiest it has ever been this late in summer! Mowing has been super regular! We are above normal for rain and that looks like it will continue.

7/20/2022 – HERE COMES THE HEAT!

Posted on By admin No Comments on 7/20/2022 – HERE COMES THE HEAT!
We have been so lucky this year to have just had short periods with the heat, but the ridge that has been baking the middle of the Country is finally flexing its heat muscles and bringing us a true heat wave. This is, without a doubt, the worst kind of weather in the Mid-Atlantic! As the air stagnates, we can also expect some air issues later this week.. and that could mean we get the triple H's ! HAZY, HOT, and HUMID! May as well be a curse word to me! LOL!

 
When we get this hot, I would always note that afternoon and evening storms are possible. With this much heat, anyone may be strong to severe. Tomorrow, there is a better chance of storms, and some could be severe.
Heat tips
* Do not mess around with heat! If you stop sweating, feel weak, or just feel odd while hot, get in the shade ASAP, let others know, and have someone stay with you while seeking medical attention!
 
So the obvious needs to be shared!
* Close all your blinds to block incoming heat from the sun
* Do outside stuff late in the day or early in the morning
* Take frequent breaks
* Check on neighbors and make sure they have AC. Especially the elderly!
* Buy some cold drinks for your landscapers, delivery drivers, and anyone working outside to help them!
* Do consider raising the thermostat to a higher temperature! It is likely to run A LOT! Which reminds me – change those AC filters if you have not in a while and make sure your water drip lines are clear, so the AC keeps running!
