Stormpc Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 SPC has us back into Slight Risk, mainly for wind today. Probably looking at what will happen downstream with the OH storm complex. 100 today looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 DCA should reach 100 today... one would think with it being 92 already. Sat we could be pressing 105, with HXs 110 to 113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biodhokie Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It happens more often than you think - just not recently. fair enough, we'll see if anything comes of it. Hopefully we buck the trend of storms containing mostly wind. Region desperately needs some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 fair enough, we'll see if anything comes of it. Hopefully we buck the trend of storms containing mostly wind. Region desperately needs some rain. Also, notice that they seem to only mention an "isolated damaging wind" threat. So it seems that while they do have confidence in something - it probably won't be super widespread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iammrben Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I don't understand these great radar echoes. These storms lately are all wind and very little rain. Total shot in the dark, but perhaps this phenomenon is related to the Sterling radar upgrades that took place last winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 During 1980, 1991, and 1997, DC reached 95 on seven straight days, but in no prior year has it reached 95 on eight straight days. So, tomorrow should set a new record for consecutive 95+ days. To correct the record (courtesy of Ian's recent post on the NBC 4 website), DCA did reach 95 on eight straight days in 1987,* 1993,* and 2002. So today ties that record streak, and tomorrow will almost certainly break it. * Edited to add 1987 and 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikolai Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 The NAM is showing 106-108+ for DC on Saturday... the all-time record seems like it could be in danger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarck Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 During 1980, 1991, and 1997, DC reached 95 on seven straight days, but in no prior year has it reached 95 on eight straight days. So, tomorrow should set a new record for consecutive 95+ days. However, setting 95 as the threshold for extreme heat is somewhat arbitrary. Highs during the last seven days (June 28-July 4) have averaged 98.3, whereas in 1930 there was a streak of 10 days (July 18-27) that reached at least 93, with an average high of 99.5 (six of those days reached at least 100). Thinking back on this post, a possibly conservative estimate of 100 (Thurs), 100 (Fri), 102 (Sat) gets us to an average high of 99.0 during the ten day stretch. We would need 307 total degrees (102.333 average high) over those three days to equal a ten day stretch with an average high of 99.5. I think it is possible.
