Demeter Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 IMBY chase that turned into a local chase down the fredericksburg area. Got some hail and arrived at the scene of the possible microburst and documented it. Still processing images, but here is my chase summary blog: http://stormitecture.wordpress.com/ (yes, it is a new site/name I am building) Excellent, thanks for posting!

RodneyS Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, indeed, at 97.9 for the average daily DC maximum, July 22-August 1, 2011. Also, it's interesting to note that, with respect to overall average (minimum averaged with maximum) DC daily 10- and 11-day temperatures, July 2011 is still number one. Both July 21-30 and 22-31, 2011 averaged 89.0 versus 88.8 (at the moment, with today's minimum in all probability yet to be reached) for June 29-July 8, 2012; and July 21-31, 2011 averaged 89.0 versus 88.3 (again, at the moment) for June 28-July 8, 2012. With the minimum at DCA dipping to 77 right before midnight yesterday, June 29-July 8, 2012 averaged 88.5 and June 28-July 8, 2012 averaged 88.0. So July 2011 remains the champion for 10-day and 11-day average temperatures by 0.5 degrees per day and 1.0 degrees per day, respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astarck Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 We broke both records with ease. The new DC 10-day average maximum, June 29-July 8, 2012 is 99.9, so we beat the 1930 record by 0.4 degrees per day; and the new DC 11-day average maximum, June 28-July 8, 2012 is 99.5, so we beat the 1930 record by 0.8 degrees per day. Champagne for all, even if it's a little warm in some parts of the region as the power is out again for thousands. I lost mine this afternoon for an hour and 42 minutes, but it's back now. I'm a little disappointed we didn't hit 100.0. I guess there's always next year. Or next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Exreme difference over recent. Saturday and Sunday at 1pm were around 100 with heat indexes around 110 and in the direct sun the effect is around 120. Today ranging 75-80, no real sun effect and heat index about 80-maybe85 so the "toll" on your body is 35-40 degrees cooler today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
