It seems to be snaked across the area but have to go a bit further n to get much relief. Surprise is tomorrow will be 98. ;)

Ugh, at least I have the day off and don't have to be outside unless I truly want too

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)

Tomorrow I will blog in more detail my thoughts on the damage. Kinda to bring more of my arcjitecture knowledge into the conversation. Same link, but I'll post here likely once it is up, but the chase summary blog is up now.

Agree... LWX said 00z RAOB at IAD showed us largely capped... not quite sure if that's right with all these storms around

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.

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.

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.
