Using The A/C??

Today's high was 82, which was three degrees shy of the record. I actually had to turn on the A/C in my apartment! Granted, it has a very strong southern exposure...

I think it is safe to say that the majority of last week's snow is all melted. Here is a plot of snowpack as of this evening:



The majority of snowpack now resides in New England and in the northern Midwest. I found this map at an amazing website...check it out!

Can You Spot The Front?

Here is a plot of today's high temperatures - you can easily notice a stark change in temperatures from 70s in the south to 40s and 30s in the north. This clash of air masses is creating rain showers and even severe thunderstorms in the Midwest. This front will remain to our north for most of tomorrow...ensuring yet another beautiful day in Central Virginia!

Perfect End To A Perfect Day

Here are a couple snapshots of the sunset - taken from our Skytracker cameras. The first is in Richmond, the second Petersburg:





Highs today reached the upper 70s and tomorrow should be even warmer. So if you didn't have the time today, go ahead and dust off that grill and roll it out of your garage and enjoy tomorrow!
