episode_narrativeAfter a winter of cloudy, wet conditions, spring struck back with a vengeance in the form of strong atmospheric high pressure. Underneath the high, very warm and dry conditions developed - more like early June than late March. Three record high temperatures were set at IAD (VAZ042); on the 27th, 29th, and 31st, with readings of 84, 86, and 85 degrees, respectively. Temperatures in the central and northern Shenandoah Valley were the highest in 50 years for a similar time period. In Winchester (VAZ028), the maximum temperature of 86 degrees on the 29th was the highest on the date since 1948 (when the mercury reached 88 degrees). The dry and breezy conditions aided several small brush fires throughout the piedmont, but no major unplanned burns were noted.
