Currently 88.8/66.2 here at 1:10 pm. I'll break yesterday's high for the year with ease and likely get into 90's at this rate. Oh, HI of 92.

OUCH, that is 111. Nasty.

I was just telling my wife (who has only been here for 3 summers and lived 95% of her life in CA) that it USED to hit 100 or so here 'back in the day'. I'll have to go pull records, but I'm thinking 2012 was last time here?? Growing up 98, 99, 100 was common a few days each summer.

Strange how it works some years here. I've had several years that never have cracked 90 in my past 44 + years of records, then a couple years with LOTS of 95 to 97 degree days. Forecast is for 92 today, so may break thru. Currently 80.1/68.2 at 10:30 am.

Maxed out at 89.0 here about 5:15 pm yesterday, warmest day of the year by far. Currently 64.6/63.3 with just a bit of haze in an otherwise clear sky.

Currently 87.4/63.3 at 4:30 after an 88.2 high about 30 minutes ago. Warmest day so far this year here.

Currently 79.8/71.1 after a thundershower rolled thru between 2 and 2:30 pm. High was 84.2 just before the storm.

Sun starting to break thru the clouds here, up to 78.2 degrees at 4 pm after being in low to mid 70's all day. Was 55 this morning. SO MUCH different from the forecast for today back several days ago of 90-91 for a high. The temps for this weekend have been lowered every day since last Monday when mid 90's were called for. Was it last summer or the one before that massive heat was called for but it was punted down the road about a week at a time?

Another upper 40's low here, currently 50.2/49.3 at 7:15 am. We are gonna pay dearly for these last few wonderful days. Glanced at Canaan Valley NWR site, currently 38/34 after almost getting to freezing overnight.

Somehow I missed entering, oh well. Just for giggles. 25/8/5

Didn't quite make the 40's here at my location, low was 50.6 degrees. Currently 50.9/48.9 with a few high cirrus in the sky. Would like to bottle some of this up for what is coming over the next few months.

Calling for 52 here. Currently temp/DP is 66.2/48.8 after a 78.8 high. THIS is nice weather.

Up to 66.8 at 9:20 after a 58.3 low. BUT the DP is hanging around 53/54. Should be a delightful day after all the mugginess of past several days.

Someone turned on the fog machine here. Been foggy in am last few mornings, but today it is quite heavy. RE to @Jrlg1181 post above, I've had 19.37 inches so far this year broken down. Jan 5.83 30.1 %, Feb 2.25 11.6%, Mar 2.62 13.5%, April 4.00 20.7%, May 3.82 19.7% and first few days of Jun 0.85 4.4%, fairly consistent. Not sure why just NE of me in Shenandoah Valley especially around Staunton seems to be so dry last 24 months, but hope it swings around soon.

Watching from far away, y'all stay safe up there!

Nice thundershower. Wind gust of 29 mph and about 0.15 in gauge. Looks like more building to the W and SW.

Looks like a line of storms headed this way from the SW.... boy is it HUMID!!

Nothing here, but JUST to my west a barely moving storm with red and white radar returns..... I'd say they are getting quite wet.

LOL, thanks for the memories, or rather nightmares. I worked at a K-mart for four years......

Yep, just got back in from watching trains earlier, saw several.

After a foggy start, sun is breaking thru and it is warming up, quite humid out there....64.4/60.0 at 9:30 am.

Nice rain this morning, started very shortly after the 7 am CoCoRaHS report. Temp been steady in mid 50's. Currently 56.5/55.3. About .20 in gauge.

Yep. My saying is 'a day above 80 is a waste', NO WAY I'd live in a place like that. It is bad enough here 6-7 months of the year. EDIT- the 77.4 high today makes 5 straight 'good' days
