Given how dry it has been for loudoun, it wasn’t a surprise that IAD would go higher than sites to the east.
imby I got 98/99/97 with the highest HI of 112-115, and after today’s storm, the dew point jumped to 82.
Finally got a good thrashing. About damn time.
It was short lived and I probably didn’t get a huge qpf, but it was nice to not get shortchanged for once.
Yeah, we can’t know for sure. But sticking with persistence works until it doesn’t. And for now, it’s still working, at least for mby.
94/75, heat advisory criteria verified with a HI of 106.
EDIT: Now 96/76, HI 110
If we extrapolate two linear trend lines, one from may 1 and another from june 16, and assume a november peak, we’ll top out at 1.8-1.9.
I’ll go conservative and predict a 1.6-1.7 OND peak.
Same. Saw apocalyptic clouds directly overhead, but some sun breaking through from the west. Knew right then it wasn’t happening. But it was close. Missed by a couple miles
Cloud cover overhead from incoming storms (whether I get rain or not is a big IF).
Think I'm done climbing temps for today.
Max 99.5, highest observed heat index was 112 (I got the 115 figure from a second obs nearby, but I'll throw that out as an outlier).
Fall short of EHW criteria? According to some obs west of 95 to around route 15, we already reached that. I think the EHW was justified.
Nearest reporting 98.8/76.9. HI 115
Cluster weakened as it passed over me, but it still produced winds strong enough to give trees a good shaking and even tossed a garbage bin across the street.
And… it rained pretty good.
We needed this.
