Deck Pic Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just going off the CF6 data for July, DCA reported 11 days of thunder in July, with 7 days at IAD and 8 days at BWI. Charlottesville reported 8, Hagerstown 9, Martinsburg 5. Looks like DCA hit climo for thunder, but the rest of the region is below normal. Rain without thunder in summer makes me sad. I love it...nothing better than silent rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sun and clouds here, mostly clouds now. High 77F (currently 75F). Would love to know when was the last time we had 4 consecutive sub-80F highs in early August. Might even be able to make it #5 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 72. Should have at least tied it if not broken it. Any low records at DCA have been very hard to come by. I think the last is the 71° a year ago in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isohume Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 it is gross out...summer sucks It's gotten more gross too. Another afternoon of clearing skies has allowed the temp to rocket to 82F. The streak of sub-80s is over at 4, and at this rate we'll be lucky not to top 85F this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
