No way that could be warmest on record. DCA is sitting at 62.3 (+6.0) as of yesterday, which would already be the record, and it is only going up from there. So, it is basically clinched.

Jebman Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=LWX&issuedby=LWX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off Lows primarily in the 60s, but the cities may not drop below 70. This has never happened before in DC (in April) - record high min is 69 set in 1896. The year 1896 holds the record high min for Baltimore for five consecutive nights in April. They dropped only to 70 on April 19, 1896. It was so hot hazy and very humid tonight that I was outside on a torrid jebwalk wearing a wet t-shirt trying desperately to stay cool. THE FRIGGING DEWPOINT WAS 68 DEGREES AT 10PM! This is late April, not June 20!!!! I have been living in Dale City since 1967! I should know what the temperature should be in Dale City on Apr 28! This will be a record hot summer. DCA is gonna break high temperature and high warm minimum temperature records left and right right into Thanksgiving!

We've gotten to the point where we are not safe from a heatwave in any month of the year. 2 years ago it was December. This year it was February ...... and April. If something doesn't interrupt this warm pattern we've been in for the last year+, we will be scorched-earth this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Got all my mowing and yardwork done while under the protection of the cloud cover from those few random storms that came through this morning. Wise choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Balti Zen Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Went out and biked C & O canal today from Brunswick to point of rocks and then up to harpers ferry. Definitely muggy but clouds kept it from feeling unbearable. I did feel for the people running the 100 mile ultra along the trail today - damn hot for that...

I can't think of any weather where I'd have the slightest inkling to run for 100 miles. Good for them, though. I could never do it Clouds here most of the day and upper 80's.

Jebman Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Dewpoint in Woodbridge VA is 71 degrees. In Washington DC the dewpoint is 72 degrees. Its late April. Its still spring. One word sums this horrible weather up: Ugh!!! Something has GOT to be done about global warming. At the rate we are going, DCA could have a few days in July with highs well into the one hundred teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 6th straight day of thick fog to burn off. Friday's was incredible, probably densest I've ever seen, like in your face type of visibility. Yesterday got to 86.8, not a record (88 in 1996) but still plenty warm. Had a storm roll through after 5, hailed about 4 miles to my west but nothing at my place.

EastCoast NPZ Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I haven't had allergy problems this bad in 30+ years. Even w/ my Zyrtec, I haven't been able to go outside for 10 minutes w/o my eyes itching, burning, and watering so badly that, in effect, I'm blinded. This is maddening. Every day, hot, dry, and breezy... and at the very peak of my allergy season. This is ****ing April, why is it so god-damn hard to get some ****ing rain?
