Let’s be clear, this was botched twice. 1st when MLB rejected Nats attempt to postpone earlier in day based on stormy forecast. And 2nd when Nats/MLB postponed after many fans had arrived and radar showed chance of playing at least a few innings. @dougherty_jesse @capitalweather

And around 9 p.m., it began to rain.

Could you imagine with a hurricane approaching if we stopped collecting weather data or running forecast models because it was a holiday weekend? Our health system should be as automated as our weather forecasting system for 24/7/365 coverage. @DrShepherd2013 @DrLeanaWen

Incredible: Our US health system is so feeble there is no Covid reporting this weekend. Sometime around Tuesday morning they’ll turn the machines back on and look at the numbers? I predict further increases in hospitalization and HCW depletion, hope the system doesn’t collapse

Thoughtful perspective from @stillmand: How extreme weather & the pandemic have exposed fatal flaws in science communication The rub: We have great science but lives are being lost due to gaps in "last mile" of communication between messenger & end user: wapo.st/3AT2d5C

Bad news is, still much room for improvement in model forecasts of clouds, per horrible NAM hi-res and GFS forecasts for today (top two images on left). Good news is, recent upgrades to HRRR model might be paying dividends, per solid HRRR forecast (bottom left). @capitalweather

Side roads and sidewalks getting snow-covered in Rockville, but not too slippery, at least not enough to keep puppy from his first walk in the snow. @capitalweather

It’s so nice outside in the DMV right now. The brilliant blue skies and warm sunshine almost (*almost*) make you forget about all things #2020.

Looking to the west, these intense storms approaching DC, I-95 and Baltimore have storm tops over 30,000 feet, indicative of heavy rain, damaging winds and possibly hail. @capitalweather

Maybe it’s just me, but feels like it often snows or does something wintry in DC on the nights of award shows?
