yoda Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 mid-upper 80s - doesn't seem that bad for late August. Plus some low 90s in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 What's all this fuss about with heat? I just pulled up my handy dandy accuweather 45-day forecast and I don't see a high of 90 anywhere in sight. I can't wait for 9/26. Sunny with a high/low of 70/50. I think I'll plan a sick day.

mattie g Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Huge flash and boom just a couple minutes ago. Not a ton of lightning and thunder, but it's all been pretty close. Fairly light rain - hope for a little more. We could use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Pretty lame heat wave. 88F today. Plenty hot to me.

Typical absence of cloudiness here today, and then got the obligatory sprinkle storm this evening that never wet the ground To hot for me too, if I haven't mentioned it enough even an "okay" summer here is a crappy one IMO.

mattie g Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 0.03" I think I can estimate about .05". Looked a hell of a lot better on radar - and sounded better, too - but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it pretty much fell apart as it approached.

yoda Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 00z and 06z GFS showing lots of 588DM heights starting next week... looks like a return to 90/70 weather again, which sucks. Neither broke the ridge down until very late in the run -- 00z GFS didnt at all and 06z GFS hinted at an incoming trough at 384... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I dn't see the big deal if we get some 86-90 temps for a couple days. It's still August, and we've been blessed with a pretty damn comfortable month so far, so a few warm days isn't going to hurt anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Here's something you don't see too often -- the six-hour maximum and minimum temperature as of 7:52 this morning at DCA was the same -- 74 degrees; http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KDCA.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 88/65 at 1... should be able to get 91 at DCA today Had lunch outside today. Not bad if you aren't moving and are in a shaded area. Not going to fret about ~90 in late August. We had one swamp week and there's really nothing that can ruin this summer at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime the general population is calling average temps, "oppressively hot", you know you've had a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
