MN Transplant Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ft Belvoir must be in error as it has 96/86 for a HI of 130. Yeah, that doesn't look right at all. So, a tower is going up right over DCA.. And blow the low temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That is about as impressive a visual towering cumulus, up toward Baltimore, as you will see around here. There was one that peaked at 70k in the late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 How about July 15 1995? Looks like 95/82 or 98/80 was the worst that day? 119. even more impressive than the daytime that day was the midnight reading of 87/81 for a HI of 104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 45 kft of 100% saturated air sitting right over DCA and not going anywhere, whats the DP at DCA? 75? Oh ok, we're fooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh ok, we're fooked. must be mainly just east? still getting light rain tho if it lasts much longer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 even more impressive than the daytime that day was the midnight reading of 87/81 for a HI of 104 Not sure but I think that is only time DCA had a HI at or above 100 at midnight. If there are others would think no more than 1/2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Anyone else having issues with wunderground's radars? TDWR BWI is down and out of service (for everyone, even NWS). Sterling and the other TDWRs should be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are others would think no more than 1/2. you might be right....in 2011 we had at least one, but it was 100 (88/77), not 104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avdave Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 This isnt your normal summer day. This is oppressive crap. Just nasty 98 with a dew of 77 here now on PWS makes for a heat index of 114*. Fook this. Bring back June temps for the rest of summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Air traffic control must be hating life right now. The TAF... It lied to us! Did you see that last METAR? Variable at 6 gusting to 27kts. Imagine that wind update.. "Uh, yeah you are going to encounter some windshear but we don't know from which direction and expect +/- 30 to 50 kts."
