45.0 for the low.
-
47.3 for the low.
-
53.2 for the low this morning in Great Falls.
-
51.6 for the low. Beautiful morning!
-
Amazing the difference that a few miles makes -- just light rain here, but constant thunder off to the west.
-
53 for the low in Great Falls. 75 at noon.

Low of 58 at DCA ties for 13th coldest all-time (1872-present) and coldest since 1956. Outside of 1956 and 2024, all of the sub-60 lows at DCA/Washington for 8/22 occured prior to 1933.
-
We bottomed out at 51.4
-
Looks like IAD's low (so far) is 49.

DC appears to have recorded an August 20 high of 76 or lower 16 times in the 125 years between 1900 and 2024. Rainfall was recorded on 10 of those 16 days. So, to answer @mattie g's question, it appears to be an uncommon occurrence on a day with full sun. This morning's DCA low of 59 ties for the 10th coolest August 21 low since 1900. The last time that a cooler low was recorded was in 1969 (58).

I, for one, hope that Congress reauthorizes Weather. This board would be fairly boring without it.

Low of 53.2 in Great Falls. 74/57 yesterday.
-
Glancing blow from the storms here, but we got a good 10-minute downpour. Knocked the temp down to 80. High/low today was 99/72.
-
Just under 0.50" so far in Great Falls. We made out well this morning.
-
Looks like IAD got down to 79 this evening in the rain.
-
Very brief pop-up tropical shower here in Great Falls. It was nice for the 3 minutes that it lasted.

Our fastest 8&U girl at free and back is a 6 year-old. (She also has a good swim birthday). She is not consistently legal at breast/fly and is much slower at those events when she is legal . . . but she is seconds faster than anyone else in free/back. Our 5 year-old who swam last week became a team celebrity . . . all of the kids were cheering for her (and she did not come in last!).
-
A 3 year-old? That's crazy! Was he/she reasonably fast? Or just filled a lane? (If the latter, I guess it's better than not having a team to enter.) Our team swam a 5 year-old in 8&U free at last week's A-meet. That was due to a lot of people being on vacation. We definitely don't have any 3 year-olds who could swim a full length.
-
Very happy that we made it through our relay carnival with no storms and no rain. Even happier that all of our kids had a blast.
-
Ugh indeed. I REALLY hope we aren't in a long waiting game tonight. Fortunately our relays tonight are at a pool that's only ~10 minutes from our house (and we have a parking pass for the pool's lot). If there is an extended weather delay, we may just run home to wait it out and rush back when the meet resumes.
-
We need the rain, but hoping for a bust on this evening's storms so that NVSL relay carnival is unaffected. The kids love this event and it would be unfortunate to have to sit out a long storm delay or to have to reschedule for tomorrow (which would cause huge availability issues for our team . . . and presumably others too).
-
89 for the high here as well.
-
I read “profound effects on life” to mean something much broader than just agriculture. There may or may not be a profound effect on agriculture. There will not be any profound effect on life unless the dry spell continues for significantly longer (which it won’t.) Low of 60 here this morning.
-
Not really given this sentence from the link: "Storage at major water supply reservoirs throughout Virginia remain within normal ranges at this time." 86/71 so far here today. But likely to shed a few more degrees before midnight.

77 overnight in GF.
