Nothing compares to that heat we had a couple years ago where it was literally like walking into an oven. You couldn't walk 50 feet without AC without breaking a sweat. I got a full 300 feet just now and was still alright. i think i actually remember that day. we had a couple of those. today was hot, but relatively tolerable. didn't matter though because i was so damn sore from hiking patapsco yesterday that i haven't even cared to venture out much today. in other news, i can report the patapsco river is at normal level right now. the mosquitoes, however, are still in beast mode.

We went to a movie this evening to find some AC and were hoping that power would be back on by the time we got home, but it’s still out and not on anywhere in the area. It was a very surreal drive from the beltway to home on Stevenson Rd and Sudbrook with all the lights out and tree debris on the roads. Speaking of Sudbrook, it seems that several large trees went down in that neighborhood. Hopefully none of those beautiful homes were damaged.

There are still some isolated power outages in the area, but things returned to normal in my hood pretty quickly. Fortunately, the water table has dropped quite a bit in the past 10 days so there wasn't any flooded basements like when the power when out a couple of weeks ago.

yoda Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hmmm... updated morning AFD from LWX for today's storms: Scattered strong storms are expected from around midday through mid to late afternoon across the area as the cold front sags south out of Pennsylvania intersects with the warm, humid and unstable airmass. Modified KLWX sounding shows around 2000 J/KG of MLCAPE developing, with the highest amounts near and south of the pressure trough across southern Maryland toward central Virginia. This coupled with marginal shear may result in isolated severe wind gusts. Veering low-level flow and enhanced low-level shear along the boundary would suggest an isolated tornado is possible, particularly over central Virginia where instability should be greatest (probability would be higher with any boundary/river breeze intersections). There is also a heavy rain/flood threat, but it appears too isolated for a watch at this point (see Hydrology section for more details). Following the passage of a cold front and its scattered showers and thunderstorms, temperatures and dew points will be a tad lower tonight than previous nights.

MN Transplant Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Already 90. Legit summer. edit - DCA was 89 at the 8:52am ob. That is big time territory. Too bad we don't have the right airmass for a run at triple digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Whoa DCA already at 93/72. Only got down to 78 and was 86 at 11 pm last night. That cooler air can't get here soon enough! Hope we catch one of the thunderstorms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
