Posted on By admin No Comments on 8/4/2022 – Heat returning, but the long-range is showing a cool down!!
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!

Much nicer today with any showers and clouds clearing out. Highs in the Mid and upper 70s! Highs tomorrow may reach 80 with a chance of showers and storms. Thursday also has a good chance of showers and storms and some could be strong to severe. Nice weekend coming, though we cool some for Easter Sunday. Rain chances return Monday and a cool week looks to be ahead. We may see another chance of freezing temps next week!

Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Wednesday, February 23, 2022

Posted on By admin No Comments on Loudoun County Weather Outlook for Wednesday, February 23, 2022
Very Mild today! Some COULD see 70, but I think we will just see the mid and upper 60s. We turn colder tonight and tomorrow. We will see snow, sleet, freezing rain showers tomorrow, and then more widespread freezing rain tomorrow night. I will note that the trends have been colder and a longer period of time of freezing temps. but the precipitation amounts are not super high. That being said, sometimes lighter precipitation makes things freeze better. I think with colder temps now forecast tomorrow night, MAYBE Friday morning could be impacted (schools?) – This could have a little more impact in that respect, but, overall, I think this is a minor event and mainly an issue for trees, overpasses, and cartops.. not the roads. The issues will be minor! We warm Friday before a pretty cold stretch from Saturday until the second half of next week.. We will see warming start to really take hold next weekend from what I can see!
