Is that max rounded? If so, that seems a pretty inaccurate way to record a record temp. It also seems that their max is always higher than the highest hourly ob.

 

The hourly METAR temp is the current 5-min avg...while the max temp can be any 5-min avg during an hour. The max temp is stored and reported in the 1 group for the synoptic hours and the 24 hr max is reported in the 4 group at midnight LST. It's not unusual for the hourly to not capture the max or min temp.

The MCS that went through Minneapolis yesterday and Michigan last night is making it's way into eastern OH and into the Pittsburgh area in the next 2 hours. Maybe a gust front around 11 pm? It currently is dropping 1" hail and has a Tornado warning on it.

STW out for it up in N WV/W PA.... moving ESE... sneaky storm late?

I am not quite sure exactly where teh storms are moving... I see some moving east, some SE... some N or NE (the S PA ones)... movement in all directions

 

That probably means by some miracle DC won't get a drop of rain. They will move exactly the right way to miss us.
