Elsie the Fall WeatherFox

Yes. Yes you should.

I see what you did there.

🌡️🔥 Record warmth across the DC–Balt region today!

New record highs set at all 3 major reporting sites:

📍 Reagan National (DC): 84
📍 Dulles: 85
📍 BWI: 85
That’s the warmest weather since late Sept — and temps more typical of early June than early March! 😲

Did it feel like summer to you today?

CAMERA DOWN, MAN. CAMERA DOWN.

I am now full of enchiladas and margarita and would like one nap please

It’s damn near perfect hammock weather

Well not with THAT attitude, Mel.

We need make more episodes of Extreme Engineering.

Yeah it’s been a fun morning, but I have tequila now so everything is better.

We are! Just annoyed.

Chidos in Laurel- highly recommend!!!

Gonna enjoy the absolutely stunning weather in DC today by going to an old favorite restaurant with outdoor seating and having a marg while waiting for Costco to swap the tires.

When life hands you limes, make margaritas.

That’s the new plan today for Cindy and I instead of work, one tow truck and four new tires later.

At least that’s not another concussion

I mean, it is the Jets, that might have been an improvement

Going from looking like my dad to looking like my mom (or mom and aunt) has been a trip, to be sure

Hey, mom said it’s MY turn with the brain cell!

The Falcons got Tua?

Omg I’m so sorry, Atlanta

Metra has announced a new intermodal freight service in partnership with BNSF and CPKC that will allow shippers to take advantage of faster transport times in the Chicago area.

Finally, my mission to become the most powerful Jay on this platform takes another step forward.

I dunno, getting into baseball this year seems like it could be a fun idea

@usili.bsky.social

there are people who complain about taking a second to admire the flight of the ball you just blasted out of the stadium and every one of those people is wrong

A wildlife refuge in Washington hired a bullfrog catcher because the invasive bullfrogs are threatening an Oregon spotted frog or whatever but THE POINT IS I can't stop laughing at the picture of him they chose to put on Facebook. That man has two armfuls of Kermits. He is a Muppet villain.

That and/or one of the Super Geniuses(TM) of this administration deciding that they had to have super sick branding and not thinking any further beyond that.

Oh good, I’ll be home inside anyway since that’s Humidity and Mosquito season.

horrible thought of the day: our tech overlords asking the chatbot for advice is probably an improvement on asking the reactionary group chat for advice

Oh lord. When is this stupidity supposed to happen? Is this for the Fourth?

I saw a theory that he keeps complaining about “not enough makeup on women” around him due to failing eyesight.

Maybe his hearing is going, too.

How confident are we in this week's warmth?

We’re in the low to mid-70s this afternoon (YAY!). Tue-Wed should be even warmer—mid-70s to maybe near 80.

And it's a higher confidence forecast than late last week when a nearby front separated 40s and 70s by less than 150mi.

That front is gone. Enjoy!

Micah, have you ever seen what the LEGO train community has done?

They’re over there making to-scale models of all kinds of trains out of LEGO and it’s mind blowing
