MN Transplant Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Definitely no 95 today.. Euro threw us by painting 20C 850s earlier this week. We still should get a nice bump this afternoon, and I wouldn't put 93 or so out of the question. Just hit 88.9 at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Surprisingly hot-feeling on my walk down to the harbor at lunch. Wasn't mentally ready for that after comfortable start to the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 There's actually more instability right now than models were forecasting. Though we might mix out this afternoon and we don't have a ton of moisture to start with. Cu are going up along the eastern ridges so I think we'll see storms try at least. But it will be tough getting our de-wreck-0. I'M bummed about not reaching 95. That probably will preclude us breaking the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we could get a heatwave in Sept but not sure we'll get any more 95+ at this rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 This is the warmest day we've had in some time out here. 88F already, and hardly a cloud to be found. Uncomfortable outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 91 @ home. My +5=DCA rule has worked all summer long, but none of the Arlington PWSs near DCA are over 92, so today might be the exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 We got 0.48" from the pre-frontal showers that came through just after lunchtime. A nice soaker spread over an hour. No wind or lightning. Currently a cool 69 degrees with an overcast sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOUTH PA FTW? southeast pa is the only area that looks "good" for severe wx right now. the area east of the storms looks pretty meh into our area.. but im not sure they'll weaken per se.

wxmeddler Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Considering the dew point depression right now and the wind we have going on. I imagine the PBL is pretty high right now and the tops on those cells are only 25k via radar so the depth between the LFC and EQL is likely only 10-15k right now. In other words....showers!

Yeah, we needed the rain too...the grass was browning again after greening up with July's deluge. Still need the a/c though. The dry air hasn't filtered in yet...DP is hanging at 69...feels damp outside. I see DPs in the 50s over in Ohio. Hopefully that air mass will move in tonight. Perfect though for the first HS soccer game tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
