  1. I’d say I had 7/8 house rattlers with a 3 second span between flash and sound
  2. 1” in 23 minutes kemp Mill
  3. This is very detailed and seems emphatic that extremely heavy rain will occur. what I’m probably uneducated about is this recent spate of flood watches . I always thought we were “watching” for an enhanced probability, but not certainty, of heavy rain for the forecast area included in the watch. Seems like the feedback I got lately is if a 4 mile by 4 mile area gets flooding rain then the watch for a much much larger area was confirmed?
  4. Anyone having a hard time keeping indoor rh down?
  5. Low clouds started moving east to west about an hour ago
  6. Seems to me itchy trigger finger , and/or inexperience, on these flood watches and warnings recently. Now if these statements are intended to care for 1-5% of the area that’s one thing but these have mostly not even reached “scattered” status .
  7. See the flash and then 30-35 seconds later hear the thunder clearly. Someone ne of me had to get hit hard And sweet 250th, 74 feels joyous compared to 110+ heat index
  8. This was dead on for yesterdays 102 high at DCA from a 92 at 10am and it’s 93 today at 10am so let’s see if it nails it again today
  9. That would have to be in direct sun and even then…
  10. I think in the horrid heaters of 2010,11,12 we had nights where from 10-midnight we were still in the 90’s? Ive “cooled” off nicely from death to warm
  11. Standing out in grass watering just now and I was fine. At 2 today I had to try and give it a go and made a little trouble for meself
  12. Shows me that 85 with a 90 heat index pales compared to 11-4 today at 98-102 with HI 110ish plus direct strong sun. Feels to me 25-30 degrees cooler now
  13. Thanks. So once every 2 years and I was thinking closer to 1 in every 3
  14. This is how it was on upper level of my split level with the short attic . Last fall I put 14” blown insulation in and new gables. Today I was able to maintain 75 upstairs with AC on for 20-25 minutes, off for 7/8 and back on 20-25. What were others settings and time frames today? Thanks
  15. Hi Don Hiw many times has DCA hit 102 or higher 1976-2026? im gonna guess 16 revised up from my earlier 14
  16. Hey Don S How many times since 1976 has DCA hit 102 or higher. im gonna guess 14
  17. I tried to water the plants but at 10 minutes got dizzy and had to stop and run cold water over my head
  18. A general rule of thumb in heat situations like this is add 10F to the 10am temp at DCA for its high and it’s at 92 at 10am
  19. This was either overzealous inexperience or pattern recognition denial OR, the models Now are lousy in summer with precipitation movements and location like they are in winter . i could have issued a damp street warning and been far more accurate
