  1. Philadelphia is a whopping 1.1° or three days behind DC from a sun angle equivalence perspective.
  2. Wow. I didn’t realize at first what you were showing was top all time for the month. There must not be much spread because the daily record high of 79 is relatively low compared to other days.
  3. Which is comical to say it’s over. There’s still a solid 2-3” of snow with universal coverage outside of south facing aspects.
  4. Flurries in southern Arlington.
  5. Official Ob: The clouds look like snow.
  6. It seems like the forecasts have been uncharacteristically bad the last few weeks. High temps busting too high by 5 degrees almost daily, low temps even worse. Even the cloud cover forecasts have been off.
  7. It looks like the one is taking a picture of the others. I would.
  8. “Low 20s” at DCA is at least 25 so far today.
  9. Temperatures have so far been slow to drop. Still 21 here.
  10. Good luck to anyone shoveling today. Solid ice.
  11. Currently 18 degrees. Seemingly well below forecast at this time.
  12. It’s fighting. Heavy sleet but snow working back in here in southern Arlington.
  13. Temperatures seem to be on the low side of guidance. Still only 27 near me at 1pm.
  14. Woah. I’ve been a member forever and never knew this.
  15. Mine is doing the same. It’s going crazy with blooms so late.
  16. Spotted lanternflies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025/09/11/spotted-lantern-flies-dc-mid-atlantic-swarms/
  17. I posted this in the obs thread but DCA has a good chance at having the driest August on record.
  18. DCA driest August on record watch.
  19. Our heatwaves almost always follow this pattern: - First day under performs - Second day comes in about as expected, usually topping out at 98-100 - Third day we set an 80 degree low (though we just missed today) - Third day over performs and we tie/exceed the highest temp of the heatwave - Evening thunderstorms on the third day wipe out the 80 degree low
  20. It was. It seems like lately we hit 90 by 10am more frequently while topping out at 98/99. That last degree or two has been hard to get. I’d probably reframe it now as being at 90 at 10am is the latest you want to see and still have any shot. Ideally you need to be there earlier.
  21. What you’re probably seeing are the 5 minute obs that are being converted to Celsius, rounded, then converted back to Fahrenheit. Only the hourly obs are shown in the original Fahrenheit. 97 could be 96 or 97. 99 could be 98 or 99. 100 is 100 or 101.
  22. DCA hit the benchmark of 90 at the 10am ob.
