Eskimo Joe Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 DCA with a 100 reading on the 5-min obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 A reminder that the 5 minute obs haven't been perfect for us. Will wait for confirmation from LWX. 98.7 will be my high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the day DCA was 94/78 at 9:52 am...lol.....Until that afternoon I think the grandaddy was 7/15/95...98/80, 99/79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 DCA still flirting with 100, so the record is not out of danger yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWX confirmed it in NWS Chat. Unless you think they spike and break the record they just set. IAD just set a record too. BWI probably won't make it :(9 Shame would've been nice to get a trifecta.

wxdude64 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Just had a pretty good Tstorm, dropped temp from high of 90.6 down to current 78.5. Power was knocked out twice for a few seconds each time. Had a 27 mph gust with a good bit of T & L. Almost 0.30 in 8 minutes in gauge. Hottest I observed was the 90.6 with a DP of 72.4, HI 98. Just looked, the 90.6 is not close to the record of 95 set in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Per LWX, DCA tied the record high of 101. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inverted_Trough Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Was hoping to see more ASOS reports of 100+ along the DC-NYC today. Most places made it to 98 or 99. The two places that reached/broke 100 are the two usual suspects (DCA, Leesburg). The heat wasn't nothing extraordinary, but the humidity was very impressive.

Yea this heat has been a bummer so far, it's "hot" but nothing "ZOMG HOT". 95/96 and the conditions right around the 2012 Derecho were worse, IMO.

dailylurker Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I wasn't all that impressed until about 2pm. I wish I had a weather station with me while I was driving all over the Eastern Shore. I few low spots near backwaters and cornfields felt like 100/80. It almost felt as bad as the day of the derecho. I was in Landover that day. I think it made it to 104 or 105. That was the worse I've felt in this area. 115 in Vagas felt about the same, though. It's a jungle out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked at 1995 and wasn't that impressed. No 100 days and we'll top the number of 95+ days this year. 2010-2012 were otherworldly, but this one is moving on up the list.

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 97 / 75 and I couldn't get a single cloud over me at any point today. Not at any point. There couldn't have been any way to make this day worse for a yard sale. I'm still trying to recover. It's 10 PM and the temp is 87F. Give me a friggin' break.

MN Transplant Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 90/77 at the 10pm ob at DCA. One of, if not the highest, heat indices at this hour. Ahead of: 91/75 at the 10pm ob on 6/29/12 (derecho) 90/74 at the 10pm ob on 7/22/11 95/65 at the 10pm ob on 7/7/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 At least we move closer to normal through this week and may even have acceptable dews by thurs-fri. Yesterday was rough. I had one small outdoor project and it was nothing short of torture. Pretty much unanimous ens and op agreement with the first continental airmass hitting early to mid next week. Probably not a hit and run. Upper level pattern would support reinforcing shots. Hopefully the northern tier crew gets some lows in the 50s.

H2O Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 ^best news ever. its already 92...............at 10am. If you like this weather you hate america. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 If you take a look at the 925mb analysis on the SPC Meso page, we are warmer and 2 degrees celcius drier today. That might enable IAD and DCA to make a better run at the low 100s today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
