snowfan Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Refreshing outside this morning. Last night, Bradford, PA was 65 at 10:53. At 4:53 AM they bottomed out at 47. A nice 18 degree drop in 6 hours. Considering how hot it's been lately, 47 would probably feel damn cold right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Lows: DCA 72, IAD 66, BWI 66 DCA should be able to get down into the 60s tonight (last low in the 60s was back on July 16th). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Even with this big "cool down", temps are still above normal We might be a couple degrees below normal on the highs for a few days during the next week, but I think the lows will still keep temps at or slightly above normal.

Tomorrow stands a chance... high pressure more directly over the region compared to today and coming off of a cooler high (upper 80s/maybe 90? vs. yesterday's 94).

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Not understanding the forecast high today of 82 at all. A dewpoint in the low-to-mid 50s and a cloudless day, and the forecast for here is high of 82? We had an overnight low of 64 (which after the ridiculous heat of the last month felt very nice), so we're only going to warm 18 degress? Not a chance. Predictably, it's 9:30 AM and already 78.

I see the NWS forecast highs for BWI and DCA are 86 and 88, but I'm wondering if either location will briefly make 90. Maybe that's a bit of a stretch though.

Maybe that's a bit of a stretch though. It sure looks like it will be a lot closer than initial guidance. I guess anything after July is "nice" though.

Maybe that's a bit of a stretch though. That seems much more reasonable. I'm not sure why our forecasted highs out here are lower than the city's; we almost always end up just as warm for highs, though our lows are lower outside the urban heat island.

MN Transplant Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 65 at my place for the low. Alex Liggit (sp?) on WTOP said that Reagan was down to 69, but the 6-hourlies says 70, so the 70+ streak continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Morning lows: DCA: 71 IAD: 59 BWI: 65 Quite the spread. Wow, IAD really cratered. Wonder if there are local micrometeorological factors that help it get down so low (at least a few degrees cooler than all the PWSs in the area). 67.5 at my place, but I'm on a ridge with no pooling potential on calm nights.

WxUSAF Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Odds on getting another heatwave (and maybe just another 90+ day) are dropping quickly for those of us outside DC or Fredericksburg and points south. GFS continuing to keep us sub-90 for the entire run. I'm sure DCA will sneak a 90 out of one of the days that's mid-upper 80s for most of us, but we're starting to fight climo now.

I measured 60 for the low out here in the valley this morning, but it's heated up very quickly. 86F at 11:00 AM. No way, we won't smash through 90 today. I think the dryness is playing a big part; day after day the daytime highs are significantly higher than forecast. On a clear night, at least, we can get some relief from the heat, though we can't get any releif from the drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
