MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The 90 streak ends at 13 at DCA. Pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Even though today will probably be yet another rain fail, at least this morning was nice. Comfortable low of 62F. Forecast high of 76F, which would be a miracle if it happens. Not hard to predict around here. Did manage .05" early this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattie g Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 One of the longer streaks I've personally experienced. Of those 13 days a trusted PWS close to me had 12 at 90 with one day at 89.8. One of the lamest 90+ streaks I've personally experienced. It doesn't hurt that I regularly see 3- or 4-degree cooler highs than DCA in these situations and that there was plenty of dry heat.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 what a disaster....here we go Don't worry. I'm sure this winter's storms will produce a lot more rain than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 8/4: 0.04 8/6: 0.10 Monthly total: 0.14" Seasonal total: 6.28" So, almost for an entire summer, I've gotten about 1/2 the rainfall some parts of the region received in a single month. That makes me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Been misting here for the last couple of hours. Only .03", but it's dark and 64F at 11:15 AM. Doesn't get much better than that for a summer day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Have you considered moving to Barrow, AK? I can't for the life of me understand how anyone can root for dark/drizzly weather over a nice summer day. Would love Barrow for 1/2 the year. No can do on the perpetual daylight, however. To say nothing if one doesn't appreciate sunny and hot (and usually humid) conditions, don't you get tired of the same weather, day-in and day-out, during the summer? You could pretty much issue a 4-month forecast on May 15 of every year: mostly sunny, warm-to-hot, humid, with a slight chance of afternoon t-storms (slighter for some of us!). Today is a welcomed break from that monotony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get into October, I kick into cold season mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once we get into October, I kick into cold season mode. It is nice to have a break, though. That's what is great about upper Midwest summers. You can torch, but you have the comfort of knowing that there is a front from Canada coming down and giving you a 75/55 day before you torch again. Tell me you wouldn't like a repeat of last July 4th every week or so during the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last two days have been wonderful, upper 60's low 70's, clouds and drizzle with a nice E-N/E breeze.....yes, a wonderful 'summer' day. But not a LOT of precip, only 0.02 has actually fell into the CoCoRaHS gauge, and that is the total for the month so far too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Today was the nicest day of the summer. Cool, cloudy with a little breeze. It would of been perfect if a steady light rain was falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't for the life of me understand how anyone can root for dark/drizzly weather over a nice summer day. I don't want all summer days to be dark and drizzly, but a few thrown in are kinda nice, they are rather rare after all. And the sun's a killer this time of year. I took a very long (at least 13 miles) walk this afternoon/evening, which I would not have done had the sun been out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
