As you said, it is hard to hit 100. NAM nest has late afternoon storms today, tomorrow and Thursday. Hopefully everyone gets a shot at one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Ok, let's see how this works. We are currently sitting at 84.0 at DCA for the month. That would tie for the 2nd hottest month ever. Tracking this out based on NWS forecasts and model blends puts us just under 84.0, which would place July 2020 third. However, I'm skeptical of the lows that the NWS are using for DCA and we will see if the cool-down at the end of the month actually transpires.

Ian Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 good stuff was thinking of running myself.. saved some effort. 2011 should prob remain king I suppose.

I agree with MN Transplant when we can get that river to 90+ consistently DCA night temps are going to often be in high 70s+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with MN Transplant when we can get that river to 90+ consistently DCA night temps are going to often be in high 70s+ yeah for sure. the super high dews are often nearish the water although I think as the bay and ocean warm it expands over more of the region with time. interestingly temperatures are not quite as high as last year, which was a record in the relatively short period of record. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/07/23/hot-water-potomac-river-set-record-high-temperature-degrees-recent-heat-wave/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briefly got a 102/72 reading, so that was pretty brutal. Back down to 100 flat now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
