bdevil02 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Felt positively glorious out there this morning. Still warm, but the air was noticeably drier. Can't remember the last time it didn't feel humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we'll see solid rain again here until either tropical system hits or a pattern change. I (half) joked with my wife about avoiding open flames near our yard. It's not pretty.

astarck Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 The heat index is less than the air temperature for once. Feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethesdaWX Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Surprised to pass last friday, had 103.9 for a high today on the VP (shade) with a NNW wind, RH at 30%, last Fri topped out at 103.1 with a S wind. Last week at a 75DP on fri so feels better today for sure. Drier airmass I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Vanni Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Does anyone have an idea as to why the cape is around 1000 right now? It just wouldn't seem that we could be above 100 degrees with full sun and have at or below 1000 cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 http://www.spc.noaa..../md/md1788.html CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY VALID 292217Z - 292345Z LINE OF STORMS MAY POSE AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND/SMALL HAIL THREAT ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF WV/MD/VA/DE TO SOUTHERN NJ THIS EVENING. CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE MARGINAL/ISOLATED NATURE OF THE THREAT WILL PROBABLY PRECLUDE A WATCH ISSUANCE. A BROKEN LINE OF STORMS ONGOING WITHIN A WSW-ENE CORRIDOR ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN PA IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SPREAD SOUTHEASTWARD INTO NORTHERN PORTIONS OF WV/MD/VA/DE AND SOUTHERN NJ THIS EVENING. THE BOUNDARY LAYER TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH OF THESE STORMS REMAINS VERY HOT/MODESTLY MOIST...WITH STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES/RELATIVELY HIGH TEMP-DEWPOINT SPREADS CONDUCIVE FOR DOWNBURSTS ON THE SOUTHERN FRINGE ON STRONGER FORCING FOR ASCENT/WESTERLIES ALOFT. FACTORS SUCH AS LOSS OF DIABATIC HEATING OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS...COMBINED WITH THE CONVECTIVE LINE BEING ORIENTED PARALLEL TO THE MEAN FLOW...ARE SUGGESTIVE OF NOTHING MORE THAN AN ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND/SMALL HAIL THREAT. ----- RUC shows the line dissipating within a few hours... doesn't get too far past the state line.

Avdave Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Clusters of showers and perhaps some heavier rains sliding W to E along I 68 and US 50 corridor in Western MD./Northern WVA. Will they drop any rain here before sunrise in LoCo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downsloping with drier air present over the region will do that to precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
