🏃 Arlington is America's fittest city for the 9th straight year, with DC climbing to No. 2.
One factor? Air quality. Despite last week's smoke, the region has seen dramatic improvements in air quality over the past several decades.
Here's a closer look: https://t.co/EX0rh7V2HL
🥵 Third 102 in a row for DC today. Hottest July 4 on record by 2 degrees--data since 1872.
Dulles reached 99 while BWI/Baltimore hit 102 as well. Both also records.
Should stay below 100 tomorrow. 🤞
Shouldn’t touch what has to be click bait…btw Metro 🚇🚌 & bikes DC is very livable w/o a car and an incredible city to live. I love NYC but DC has so much to offer too and proud that Metro is the backbone of making our city and region easy to get around.
Metro’s turning 50 and we’re kicking the celebration off Friday morning at Metro Center! 🎉
We’ll have a DJ spinning and limited-edition giveaways while supplies last 🎶🤞
8:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.
See you there! ✨
Simply staggering snowfall totals in the Northeast and northern Mid-Atlantic; more than THREE FEET in Rhode Island and Bristol County, Massachusetts. My parents reported 30+ inches in South Plymouth; this is the biggest snowstorm in southeast New England since January 20-23, 2005.
This is what I'd consider a once in 20 or once in 25 year event for the region.
Most of Long Island saw 24 to 30+ inches.
As we approach midnight, @flightaware reports a total of 158 cancellations either to or from DCA Friday along with 365 delays, many of which were hours long.
BWI & Dulles did not have the same staffing problems and only saw 22 cancellations each.
A LOT of folks will see vibrant sunsets tonight due to wildfire smoke at the mid levels of the atmosphere.
Boston, Hartford, NYC, Philadelphia, Baltimore, D.C., Charlotte… anyone noticing an orange tinge to the sunlight? This is why!
Satellite view from @MyRadarWX:
This is rather crazy; Tyson's Corner recorded 0.55 inches of rain in 5 minutes between 5:35 and 5:40 p.m.
That's an equivalent rainfall rate of 6.6 inches per hour – albeit briefly.
Wow. @capitalweather@WashProbs
