We got to 103.2 but have been sitting around 102 for last hour.
-
We’re surging temps now, just crossed 103. My goodness this weather sucks
-
Blew by 100, 101.4 right now
-
Yep I read the tweet wrong, thought it said 104 at both sites. But this is incredible heat for New England. It’s hot here but dare I say we’re used to it now?
-
I stand corrected. 104+ anywhere up there is insane
-
My point click is now showing a high of 106 tomorrow. I’m. Little skeptical of that
-
NYC hit 104 yesterday at both LGA and Central Park
-
I guess the recent rains have tamed the RDU sensor, high of “only” 98.1 today
-
Thats wild, today was either the 5th or 6th time we’ve crossed 100 this year here
-
100.9 was the high currently 99.8
-
We are running significantly above RDU right now, 97.4 vs 93. Don’t see that ever
-
The one time the Raleigh dry slot works out in our favor. It’s hot but it’s not steamy at least
-
Y’all have it worse than we do I guess, our DP is 65 right now
-
Pretty significant improvement in the east, D2 Dropped from 90 to 80% mostly because of coastal improvements
-
Falls lake, after the two watering days, has resumed its steep fall that was stabilized for about a week due to rain
-
WOW, “only” 95.2 here
-
One record to watch for RDU (and likely other sites) is the record for longest consecutive streak of 100+ degree highs. Current record from 2012 is 6 days. NWS is forecasting 5 straight 100+ days at the moment (100, 102, 102, 103, 100) but Tuesdays high will be dang close at 98 (and we know 2 degrees above forecast is just a casual Tuesday for the RDU sensor).
-
8 degree diurnal max from the morning low under sunny skies in July is wild!
-
One saving grace during this heat wave will be somewhat lower humidity will lend to heat index’s staying in advisory territory. Will be damn hot but at least we won’t have the normal humidity to deal with too
-
100%. They also mention the orientation of the high is such that the worst heat favors the mid Atlantic in today’s AFD whereas some previous runs had it centered further SW. Multiple days of 100+ degree heat seem inevitable tho and it will certainly be a dangerous heat wave, but explicitly putting all time record highs in the forecast over the weekend definitely led to more scrutiny over the forecast. I had never seen 106 forecast for my area or 3 days straight of at least 105 as it had until yesterday
-
3.71”
-
NWS has ticked the point click down from max temps 105-106 to 101-102 depending on where you are in wake county. Still extreme but not record shattering as originally forecast
-
With no rain in the forecast I will confidently say 2.46” is my monthly total, far less than most of the county but my highest monthly total since August
-
Picked up 0.01” so technically 3 days straight with measurable rainfall
-
Missed the heaviest stuff yesterday but picked up 0.27”
