EastCoast NPZ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Umm, why exactly is it 93F today when the forecast was 85F? It's downright uncomfortable friggin miserable outside here, even though the general wind direction is out of the east. WTF? Would like to know the OBS for other areas for comparison.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Thnx for posting that map; that's a cool graphic. Appears it may lack IMBY resolution, however. Do you know if the color mapping is made by infrared measurements or just a composite of ground OBS? Never mind, I see that is a forecasted high map.

Ian Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 pre-hurricane subsidence (a little) but i doubt it's 93 there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 pre-hurricane subsidence (a little) but i doubt it's 93 there Wxbug station in Stephens City is currently 89F with a high of 93F. Another station in Winchester reporting 90F, also. Have seen stations in Harpers Ferry and Clark County in the mid 80s, however. The fact that the temps at my local station dropped from 93 to 89 makes me wonder if there is not something a little fishy, but generally its measurments are comparable to nearby stations, and I can attest that it is HOT out. All year long, seemingly, this has been a warm spot, which I've attributed to it being so dry, and usually less cloudy than other locations. I don't know, I'm unable to verify that wxbug statiion report with one at my house because by the time I get home from work, the sun is on my thermometer - I don't have a digital, nor one that could log a high-temp. However, thanks for the possible explanation of why the temps could be so high. Are temps overperforming in DC also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Just got back from Open house at my girls school. It is nasty humid out! Temp here says 94.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I see then that my 93F is not an outlier. Thanks for your OBS. Apparently, Frederick shares in SC's misery. Not by coincidence, both places also share the drought. And, apparently, I should move to Falling Waters, WV. Much wetter and cooler climate.

MRB has already had 91 days this year with measurable precipitation. The long term average is 117 days annually. With 127 days remaining in the year, they should blow by that.

Mrs.J Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Yea Hagerstown and just south of the county line into MoCo and it is not as brown. Drove through VA on Wed. coming back from Gatlinburg and the difference between Southern VA and Northern is huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 To this point in Stephens City we've had .81" this month, and had just .93" for the month of July. Since June 22 we've had a total of 1.81". I wish I'd saved the money I spent on my grass this year, because it was totally wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Well after a nasty hot humid day the evening turned out pretty nice. Still humid but a good breeze with the temp dropping. Will wait to see what tomorrow will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 GFS has been fairly consistent in advertising a legitimate autumn cold front coming out of Canada later this week and moving through our area late Sunday/Monday. Also has been showing lows in the upper 40s possible behind it with highs in the upper 60s/low 70s. Could also be first frost for our subregion members out in the cold valleys in WVA.
