That's how I feel (especially for BWI) but I'm sure many on here will disagree with me (I think zwyts already does) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 they keep pushing the cold front and thunderstorms back. Kinda reminds me of winter. Now it's late Sat into Sunday. Earlier this week it was supposed to be today as the transition day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 On 7/18/2013 at 2:31 AM, chris87 said: the east answer is dewpoints -- most of the great lakes has been quite wet and the vegetation is completely unstressed, the mid level ridge didn't originate over the dry SW, the low-level source region has been either GoM or Atl., the strength of the mid-level ridge has trapped this moisture which is being supplemented by high evapotranspiration rates over high soil moisture regions. also another point about the non-stressed vegetation is that vegetation will continue to transpire after solar radiation has ceased, it has an inertial component that continues to pump water vapor into a developing noctural BL raising dewpoints in the period after sunset which also might be helping to keep mins high -- i think the general takeaway is that an anomalous heat ridge over wet soil leads to over-performing mins and under-performing afternoon maxes The other point about the midwest is that the corn really pumps moisture into the air, that's why you can see an 80 dewpoint in Iowa a lot more frequently than here. Here's a really nice piece on evapotranspiration and the corn belt. http://www.weather.com/outlook/weather-news/news/articles/evapotranspiration-corn-belt-humidity_2011-07-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 it might be slightly warmer than yesterday but i'm also slightly more adjusted to it now so it probably cancels out. at the end of the day, it feels about the same as it did the last couple days - hot and humid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to hate drinking water. Normally I would agree with you, but just spent the most wonderful morning up at Cunningham Falls swimming at the lake. Pleasant 86 deg with a decent breeze. Did not want to leave but had to be back down in Frederick by 12:30. Just 8 miles back temp went to 96 on my car reading, almost pulled a u-turn to head back.

I'm beginning to hate drinking water. its muggy out, no question about it, but i still prefer this over 30 degrees and spending a week tracking a clipper. i'm pretty sure i have some kind of seasonal affective disorder. the only thing i enjoy about winter now is a snowstorm, but i enjoy most of what summer offers. my secret to this weather is starbucks black iced tea or berry hibiscus refresher. they come in handy. having access to a pool is also a clutch maneuver.

I'm watching the little one this week and I'm not really up for getting her out and about with 100* heat indices. It pretty much sucks. At least I can watch the British Open.
