Fozz Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This dry weather is starting to get to me... we've only had one rainy day since August 22 and there's no end in sight. Just sunny and warm for weeks on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 The Dry Savannah season! I killed some grass by accident by leaving grass too thick from my mower! I need to grow some grass so I would like some rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 A couple more days near average, or below, now showing up in the Accuwx extended forecast than was before. That's some good news, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 89F here. Definitely hitting 90, and will for the next 5 days. Long, long week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 SPC has us in a Marginal risk for tomorrow. Looks like there could be some early stuff west of D.C., with some afternoon/evening activity closer to the Potomac eastward. Hodos aren't great, but we could see a few supercells in the region. Would be high-based, though, so not much of a tornado threat, plus the low-to-mid level wind speeds are on the weak side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I had to drive to Princeton and back today. Ran through a gusty Hermine shower. Chicken dinner It was a windy ride both ways. Hauled a load of furniture in a box truck on the way back. 2 hands on the wheel. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 SPC has us in a Marginal risk for tomorrow.

Would be high-based, though, so not much of a tornado threat, plus the low-to-mid level wind speeds are on the weak side. Tonight's guidance seems to agree with this earlier thought. GFS and NAM in particular have good convective signals very early in the evening. The NAM nest simulation has some initial cells west of DC and then brings more organized activity south out of PA in the early evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 This potential might be the most exciting wx thing since Hermine. we are still recovering from that one. Everyone got their power back yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Round Hill WX Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Woke up to a brief but heavy rainshower this morning. Just enough to keep the dust down. I'm looking forward to any storm development later today to break this weather boredom. 72/70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round Hill WX Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 The EURO is advertising continued east coast ridging through its entire run. Would maintain the general theme of above to much above normal for awhile. GFS supports the idea as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Storms sliding down out of the north to east of me and to the west of me. Hooray. LOL....amazing. Dry here. Leaves falling off trees still green or brown, however was at cemetery changing flowers on wife's marker and cleaning up yesterday and noticed the two 'early predictors' maples were starting to turn red and orange. WAY to hot next few days for this time of year, headed to Cass/Snowshoe area for couple days, maybe they can stay closer to 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WAY to hot next few days for this time of year, headed to Cass/Snowshoe area for couple days, maybe they can stay closer to 80. Definitely need an escape to the high altitudes. My forecast for Saturday is now up to 94, and we almost always end up 2 - 3 degrees higher than that. Same here with the falling dead leaves....everywhere. So much for autumn foliage this year. As bad as it is right now, this will be nothing after several days in the mid-90s and lows in the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Accuwx shows 73 / 44 for 9-21. If that is legit, I have a feeling I'll be feeling sick that day....cough....cough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpc Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Yes this extended heat wave is getting old however you have to admit we are getting used to it. Yes it's hot but low and mid-90s barely affects me anymore other than the condition of my property. But for sanity's sake I would appreciate some days in the 70s.

North Balti Zen Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I just figure this is extended payback for the all the cheering that certain folks did over excessively cool if not cold temps in April/May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Blistering summers like this is the reason why those people were cheering the (slightly) below normal temps and cloudy conditions in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If second front next week doesn't stall, wash out, or meet resistance, you should get a taste of those temps before the 21st. The next 4 days are *probably* the last of the really bad stuff. We'll get warm days of course but 5 day strings in the 90's should start getting pretty hard to come by. Famous last words of course. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
