If you believe the 5 min obs at DCA... 99

93/75/105 at 10am at DCA

Or if you are a Mortal Kombat fan... TOASTY!

So far, and probably still have about 2 more hours to go... but the low temp at DCA is 84

From this morning LWX AFD Record temperatures will continue through much of the upcoming Independence Day holiday weekend. An upper ridge remains parked across a vast portion of the southeastern U.S. into the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys and Mid-Atlantic region. Lower tropospheric temperatures remain very anomalous and record breaking in nature. Of note, the 00Z IAD sounding reported an 850-mb temperature of 25.0 C which is not only the 3rd highest of all time, but breaks the daily record by over 4.0 C. Recent 00Z models show a subtle decrease in these 850-mb temperatures. However, based on yesterday`s observations, models have been slightly too cool with this layer of the atmosphere. Thus, see little reason to diverge from another hot forecast with widespread temperatures punching into the 98 to 102 degree range. Even during the writing of this discussion (~3 AM), a number of the warmer spots remain entrenched in the upper 70s to mid 80s. High dew points should also remain a fixture in the forecast with readings holding steady in the low/mid 70s. Although some boundary layer mixing could slightly lower such dew points, the combination of triple digit highs and low 70s dew points will easily crank heat indices to around 110F. Extreme Heat Warnings continue from 10 AM until 9 PM across a bulk of the Mid-Atlantic region. For those in the Blue Ridge, Alleghenies, and across the central Shenandoah Valley, heat indices around 100 to 104 degrees supports Heat Advisories today.

86/72 at 4am. HI 92

87/77 at 1am... yuck

CHO has tied their record high of 100... set back in 1954

IAD has tied their record set back in 1966... 99 would break it

If thats verified, it will be a new record high for the date, breaking the old record of 101 set in, get this, 1898

Day 3 and 4 SLGT up

Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks

I see on Radarscope that Gray ME official NWS obs of 106? Is that heat index?

DCA has been sitting at 99 for awhile

Back for one more year of disappointment I see https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2026/07/02/alex-ovechkin-return-washington-capitals-contract-one-year-retirement/ https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2026/07/capitals-sign-alex-ovechkin-to-one-year-contract.html#ref=home

I know what @MN Transplant said about the 5 min temps... but 99/74/110 at 1240pm at DCA is atrocious

How did you and @wxmeddler get one going for MD?
