Every summer night should be like this

Boundaries flying around. Hopefully it initiates stuff that gets more of the rest of us.

98 BWI, 97 DCA/IAD

Yeah, that's really good.

What's the Post station at?

That's eventually how the 84 degree low record will fall

Highs as of 2pm. 98 at BWI, 96 at IAD, 95 at DCA.

Embrace the river. Love the river.

Ok, let's see how this works. We are currently sitting at 84.0 at DCA for the month. That would tie for the 2nd hottest month ever. Tracking this out based on NWS forecasts and model blends puts us just under 84.0, which would place July 2020 third. However, I'm skeptical of the lows that the NWS are using for DCA and we will see if the cool-down at the end of the month actually transpires.

Yes. I don't know what it is, but the fireflies were late and the butterflies were late. Very odd.

As you said, it is hard to hit 100. NAM nest has late afternoon storms today, tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully everyone gets a shot at one.

That's why the rain came. You should know that by now!

The Annandale/W. Springfield/Burke area has been the good spot for storms today. Still getting thunder and lightning to my south.

Two really loud CG nearby. And some very welcome rain.

So, BWI 100, DCA and IAD 99. On a relatively cloudy day.

Officially 99 at DCA on the special METAR with the thunder mention.

Since I've already topped out, I'd take some of those showers north of 66 if they want to sag a bit.

Even if the temp sticks at 99, this is a borderline historic day. A 99/83 is a 91.0 average, which looks like a top-15 all-time day. (caveats - if we snuck a 99 in there, and if it doesn't storm)

No kidding. So, we have at least 99 at IAD and BWI and 98 at DCA.

As a reminder for everyone, IAD has a minute-by-minute display. http://iadasos.org/2hourpast.html Lots of 99s.

3pm 96 DCA 98 IAD 97 BWI

I've popped to 98.2. Higher than yesterday.

Probably a 96.

The models were suggesting cloud debris yesterday. They weren’t wrong there.

83 for the low. Daily record, and one off the all-time record if it holds.
