« Buckle up, batten down | Main | Snow in the air tonight? »
Strong southerly wind has pushed this afternoon's temperature at BWI to 75 degrees. That's 2 degrees above the previous record for a Dec. 1 at the airport, set just five years ago, in 2001.
The barometer here on the WeatherDeck has fallen to 29.47, where it has remained since 2 p.m., so the front has not yet passed through the area, despite clearing skies. The temperature here is 74, but I expect to see it begin to drop shortly - headed for the 30s tonight.
