Kmlwx Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Assuming the low temp is 80 as shown in 6 hr report we've tied 2011 hour wise for 80+ at DCA.. will break at 5. Now all we need is a single updraft to setup right over the sensor to screw the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRanger Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Before it disappears, this is from LWX AFD 1029 AM EDT SUN JUL 21 2013: YDA DCA BROKE THE RECORD FOR MOST CONSECUTIVE DAYS/NGTS WHERE THE TEMP DIDN'T DROP BLO 80. RECORD IS NOW 5 ECLIPSING THE PRVS RECORD SENT IN JUL 2011. THIS MRNG DCA SPENT 4 HRS W/ TEMPS IN THE U70S. PRIOR TO 2011 THERE HAD NEVER BEEN A PD OF LONGER THAN 2 NGTS WHEN THE LOW DIDN'T GET BLO 80. ONE LAST "DC 80" FACT - THE EARLIEST RECORDED DATE WHEN THE TEMP DIDN'T DROP BLO 80 IN DC WAS 7/20/1876.

wxmeddler Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Good call on m/u 80s today LWX! To be fair, every piece of guidance I looked at last night had m/u 80's.

Only the RAP has hooked onto this l/m idea 90's today, and that only happened at 9z. i didn't look y-day i guess. my friday forecast was u 80s to low 90s... then near 90 ahead. sometimes too much thought put into a late july cooldown. unless it's epic we're going to be "hot" probably.

I'm very glad we are past peak heat. Starting on the 23rd average highs go back to 88. Doesn't count for much I guess but at least each day means another day that the heat gets a tiny bit more battered down by climo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MA summers are either hot or less hot most of the time. very rarely dry DP wise, too much moisture this summer to see dramatic drop in DP's ? until sept oct?.

The Dude Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 as long as it doesn't rain a lot probably. the potomac is on fire: graph.png Any idea how this compares to the temp of the Potomac down by DCA? I would think Little Falls would be quite a bit warmer given that it's not tidal and is much narrower and shallower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
