WEATHER53 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Honestly happy this tepid thing did not break a tecord all of the 90 and 91 and 1/3 of the 92 would have been 87,88,89 back in 1980 Makes that 97.5 from 2011 even more impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May look into it but know that data is messy. LWX does a fine job overall but I think it is true they issue svr much more readily than pulling the trigger from advisory to warning. But it is prob partly a case of them following the criteria more directly for heat vs issuing svr for 40 mph winds since it'll bring down some dead trees. Plus the differences in office ideology matter so it's hard to compare across them. PHL gets way more warnings than we do with their special criteria as well, despite us looking like a hotspot.

yoda Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 from the morning LWX AFD... can't wait .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... High pressure at the surface and aloft will dominate over the southeastern U.S. and western Atlantic through the early portion of next week. This will allowing for hot and very humid conditions to persist across our region. Monday looking to be the hottest day next week with triple digit readings certainly possible across portions of the metros and northern Virginia. Combine this with dewpoints in the low to middle 70s, heat indices will likely be hovering near Advisory level range both Monday and Tuesday for portions of the CWA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted_Trough Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The air mass this weekend looks too soupy to make it to 100 degrees. I'm thinking between 96 to 98 degrees. Euro seems to be overshooting temps lately but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I’m confused by these posts with high dewpoints. DP here is 59 with a temp of 93. Humidity is at 32%. Even Dulles only has a DP of 66.

I can make out some sort of weak frontal boundary evidenced by the rapid dropoff in SBCAPE west of the Chesapeake Bay. Dews are really high in the Delmarva because they are east of the boundary. Tomorrow's dews will likely only be in the mid-upper 60s regionwide so maybe a sneaky 100 in spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
