Remember that flash drought? Def flipped both to drought and from drought on a dime

Temperatures were in the low/mid 80s for my pre-dawn run this morning. Way too warm. Was probably lot too far away from heat exhaustion at one point. Hydrate! IAD currently at 92/72.

Surprisingly no...98.2⁰ was my peak, definitely the highest since I moved here. It doesnt matter though, ridiculously hot out there, to top it off I came home after the softball game on Wednesday to find out the compressor on my central air died...wonderful timing, so had to scramble for window units on Thursday. Heat is an issue with my kid right now which made it even worse and parts wont be here until at least Monday. What was you peak?

Looked pretty lame lol

89 at 10:30 am but in feels so much better ahh yesterday at this time. My low was 79.

ha...yeah, I guess as Mets we sometimes lock the doors and look at what we look at and don't pay as much attention to what other's are touting. This is probably becoming true about civility regardless of walks and purposes ... Between AI super-charged social media dopamine dripping, to media selling news ( which doomed humanity from ever knowing the truth once that breached the journalistic integrity threshold at some point 20 to 30 years ago and has only gotten completely fabricating since - run-on sentence ), people that seek guidance and truth tend to shut out the din of it all lieu of what they know ( or at least "think" ) really works. But I digress... LOL ...little more than you wanted I'm sure. no but yeah I was referring to the model synoptics being pretty consistent with the heights receding/crossing back below 582 dm, while tje MET machine coverage being consistent with mid 80s 'after' today. That's latter fits the former.. done deal. I haven't been paying attention to much else over the last several days. Sew me.

Looks like a decent chance they hit 100° for a third day in a row. Legit heat.

A low of 65 here felt like fall at this point. 83 low at home. Already up to 96 there.

Anyone have thoughts after 12z runs?

Most of the heavier rain has missed me over the last couple days, but I still accumulated a decent 1.15".

Down to 72 and already 89. Last day of this crap

Happy Birthday America, the greatest country on earth!

BOS had back-to-back 100+ highs and 80+ lows - that's pretty insane, AND they stayed above 80 again overnight.

The timing is pretty late though. Both HRRR and NAM3km don't have storms hitting our area until 9 or 10pm. Looks ok for late afternoon cookouts but it will be a close call for fireworks here. Hoping to get them in before storms hit.

I think some earlier forecasts had it being pretty hot Sunday, but that's out the window now. Even the Extreme heat warnings for today have been pared back in some areas

a couple DE mesonets already up to 96. certainly feels that way outside. but the dew has dropped all the way to 65. surely that bodes well for storms later. 0.7" since june 1st

94 at 10am at DCA - but dews are back into the 60s, so it actually doesn't feel as horrible.

baseball and fireworks is a 100/100 America score

They won't have a thread for one of the worst heatwaves on record for their area, but will have a thread for an hr 240 Noreaster on Nov 15th...

Synoptic thoughts... Tomorrow should be cooler on the coast where there's likely to be the nascent yet still feeble onshore wind developing... In the interior, probably still makes the low 80s. The hydrostatic heights are not really falling very much below 570 dm, which is technically a very warm atmosphere relative to our climate. What could offset this, however ...is if we get more organized convection sparked off and rumbling through late today and night. SPC is currently loading everything well SW so ... not sure what their whys are in the matter - haven't read. Anyway...if it stays dry, 80s in the interior tomorrow looking at the soundings. But if gets wet, that would process out the "non-Markovian" memory of the system and we'd end up more shallow cool below synoptic inversion ... There really isn't a BD front being analyzed by WPC ( tho they seldom do)...but looking around at area obs/sat, there isn't one. The main b-c axis is up along the ST S-way, pretty far NW. But, with heights receding it's like the NAM is sort of instantiating a boundary - which isn't physically impossible to see a frontogenesis of sorts, if the flow aloft has height falls while speeding up.. The Euro and GFS seem to be doing the same thing.... It's why we get all that rain ( maybe...) the day after tomorrow. That nascent boundary provides an isotropic lifting interface, and because the flow to push it south is ultimately too weak to actually do so... we may start training a bit. It's an interesting set up. Very weak synoptic forcing, with high volatility/PWAT access... The latter is pseudo-adiabatically very unstable. It can over perform with less motivation to do so. But ... it doesn't set well with me that the NAM, which is a sneaky great tool for 'convective initiation' that few know about or use ... (sorry to see this aspect be lost by the majority that don't), has paltry totals through Monday night. Maybe 12z comes around a bit...

Heh ... appears on schedule to me. It's a tedious examination perhaps but just sayn' It's 88/72 with ample sun and light W to WNW wind... We'll likely make the MAV 92 to 94s which has been in forecast for some time.

One of mine is loaded with catkins and has female flowers. The other two have male catkins for the first time…just hoping it’s enough to pollinate the big one! The pawpaws are still holding 6 fruit. It was a great June for the plants.

Yea Upton did mention the storms will be quick moving like yesterday

I doubt they will even do that because of TV schedules - but chances are there will not be anything severe over that particular area of the Hudson at the exact time the fireworks are scheduled
