Ian Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think it is. Looks like it has legs. The pattern in the pac has shuffled a bit. Persistent troughing in the pac nw with no road block in se canada will pump the heights up pretty good in the east. If it sets up as advertised it will be tough to knock this ridge out of the way. looks a bit different than our big heat ridges of recent years.. perhaps more humidity and less highest end heat. tho the gfs does build the 500 ridge over us at times so it will prob be hot.

Yea, I'm just thinking it's the first "real" heat of the summer but far from scorching. A string of low-mid 90's with mid 70's dews look like a fair guess.

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 KOKV was below for May. yeah, i know, in this case i was really focusing on the DC area since most on this forum reside there. often, though, our weather isn't that dissimilar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Steady light rain out here today. Missed the heavy stuff again, but I'll happily take .41" and a cloudy 70F day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wow, sure rains heavy across Charles county when I was down in Waldorf to buy a dehumidifier. Looked like it had also rained pretty hard in mby but I haven't yet gotten to the rain gauge. Looks like they got the part for my air handler so tomorrow I should have my air conditioning back.

wxmeddler Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I love watching all the microscale wind shifts clash and combine on the 1-min scans of the TDWR and their effects on new downpours minutes later. I got 3 rumbles of thunder and a 1/3" so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't shopped humidifiers in a few years, what are they running now? Obs- Rain started in Baltimore about 45 minutes ago. Of course I left my umbrella in the car.

Deck Pic Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 and looking more likely like a +3 finish. I think that is very unlikely unless we get a sustained death ridge of mid to upper 90s....+1 to +2 seems more realistic to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing but bright sunshine yesterday (daytime). Saw storms to my N and S, but nothing... and it was warm in SC. We did get a storm last night around 11:45PM which, of course, woke me up from slumber. Had a brief downpour and a couple big lightning strikes, one that knocked out my power for a few seconds. Rain drops so large it sounded like hail against the windows. There was about .3 in my gauge from that, but my gauge seems to measure too high. Didn't check it against the Wx Bug station, so not sure how much we got. It was so brief I doubt it was more than about .15 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 for being oppressively sticky I loved today..any day that stays below 80 is a victory no matter how it is accomplished Looks like a minus departure today and then for the next 2-3...after Friday we'll be at around +1.2 is my wild guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrederickWX Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Storms coming through now, with some more heavy rain. We've had a lot of rain this month, as evidenced by the Potomac near Point of Rocks, which is running much higher and faster than it normally does this time of year. I would have to think there are no drought concerns for this area at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
