BlizzardNole Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Cannot believe how gorgeous the last few days have been. I have today off due to previously scheduled doc appts. Do you all think that this summer will continue to have transient hot spells of a few days with breaks in between? I just wish we could get some good t-storms though.

Closest wx station to my house was 52F. Either way, it was gorgeous this morning. Heck the past several days, for that matter. Yesterday was the equivalent of July 4, 2014. Just amazing.

CAPE Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Been out in Western MD doing some hiking. Went to Swallow Falls today. Magnificent day. Temps were in the upper 60s. Barely broke a sweat. At Canaan now. Warming up- upper 70s tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the sun going down that night (2014) and everyone putting on jackets and huddled under blankets for the fireworks (we were at Sperryville, VA). Even during the afternoon cookout, I sat on the deck at my in-laws and enjoyed the cool breeze and just marveled at how nice it was, and how enjoyable summer would be if that were typical weather. It was the most glorious summer day / evening I can ever remember. I get all wispy even thinking about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Lawns are turning BROWN in the relentless drought and dryness. I have cracks an inch wide in my back lawn. There's NO HOPE at all for Dale City, NONE until January 2018 when we finally get lots and lots of heavy rain right when we crave snow. Til then, dry as a popcorn fart and hot as Hell, with no mercy at all. July 4th in northern VA will be dry, partly cloudy and hotter than a firecracker. Stay off the roads, watch out for drunk drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps in the mid 70s but dews in the low to mid 50s and a bit of a breeze. I remember being up on Fort Reno watching the fireworks across suburban VA and Montgomery County and wishing I had a jacket. Hmm, let's see .... cool and pleasant July 4th (2009, 2014, 2015) followed by winter 2009-10 (GOAT), 2014-15 (solid all-around winter), 2015-16 (the big one in January) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Closing the books on June....... 3.45 inches of rain for the month vs an average of 3.64 inches. Close to normal but short by 0.19 inches. Largest daily was 0.61 inches on the 6th. Had 16 dry days, one day with a T and 13 with measurable. High temp was 80.6 degrees averaged for month vs normal of 81.5 degrees, a -0.9 difference. Highest temp was 86.8 degrees on 15th. Low temp was 56.1 degrees averaged for month vs normal of 57.3 degrees, a -1.2 difference. Lowest temp was 45.6 degrees on 28th.

BlizzardNole Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Just an awful June rainfall wise, especially for someone into gardening. The CMDZ (Central Maryland Desert Zone) had misses in every direction as usual. I had a total of just 1.4 inches for the month, with 0.9 of that on the 19th. The side benefit is not having to mow (I let the grass go - it always comes back). I hope July starts out on the right track -- do we get lucky with t-storms later today? The overcast is finally breaking up, but I don't like that the front is washing out as it comes our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeybandit Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have no mow today, not for the grass, but for the weeds and the sprouting trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
