After a nice weekend, the ugly head of humidity and summer return

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.  

 

Thanks for the answer....You have always contributed good stuff here...hopefully we can put the other stuff behind us

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.

Been hearing thunder here for the past couple of hours.  Looks like some rain may finally make it in here.

Talked to a farmer from Chambersburg, PA today, which is about 20 minutes northeast of here.  She was complaining about the lack of rain the past few weeks, while we've been getting frequent rainfall here.  When I told her its the best season for vegetable gardening I've had in 8 summers here, she didn't seem to believe me.

It feels terrible now after those storms.  Temps fell to low 70s but dews are up and humidity.  I might have to put the AC on .

 

I rarely turn mine off. Once it is consistently above 75 days and above 60 at night and humid, AC is on spring to fall here, plus I love dry and temps in the 60's.

0.02" last evening.  My wife was just out watering for the second time this week.

 

After not getting above 74 a couple of days ago, DCA adds to the 74+ low category this morning.

 

 

76 min...back to the DCA we know and love....i hope none of us got lulled into a sense of complacency.....

 

Even if we don't have extended 90's again, it kind of makes sense that we might go into a sticky pattern again in the 2nd half august where we are +3 in the means based on mins....a week or more of 87/73 type weather....
