Eskimo Joe Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I'll go on the record and say that if we didn't have clouds today, DCA and even IAD would probably have hit 100 degrees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Has anyone seen any changing in color of tree leaves? Was driving along MD 17 in Brunswick. There is a set of trees that in the fall are the first to change color. There are two trees that are changing to their orange fall color. The trees are not dead they are just changing color early. Also while heading out 340 towards WV I saw many more trees changing color. Like the vibrant reds you get out that way. Is this because of the lack of rainfall and the tree just giving up on staying green? I have never seen trees this early be anything but green. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trees along Rt. 9 on top of the mountain at the WV-VA state line are full of vibrant fall colors. I was very surprised to see that. Like you, I have never seen that before late August even in the driest summers, and not with such vivid color in those cases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSG Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 99/70 for a HI of 106 on the 3:10pm obs at CHO, back to 97 now. I think that's it for down here today. High clouds filtering in from the NW are going to limit any further heating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Stuck on 94, but that DP of 74 gives me a HI of 104. Went outside and saw someone running in this! WOW! Not sure I am impressed or thinking that it is not so smart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as dropping leaves. Totally due to drought stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09-10 analogy Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Clear as a bell directly overhead but I see some cumulus congestus (or something akin) off to the N/W. Must be a hell of a cap in place. And, yeah, muggy and uncomfortable. Seems like today could go either way: little to nothing in the immediate area, or a solid severe wx event? Just read the afternoon AFD. Outflow boundaries, baby!

ThePhotoGuy Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Currently 95 which is the high so far. I was out for 2 hours this afternoon putting in new fence posts and it wasn't that bad. A slight breeze helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have severe weather sirens out there? I usually associate that with places like Oklahoma or Kansas. Of course I've never lived in a semi-rural area ... correct me if I'm wrong if you don't ... so maybe that's de rigueur in most places. I remember driving through S/C Oklahoma once, through the town of Frederick. On the SW side of town, every other telephone pole, it seemed, had a speaker. I assume it was for the sirens and that they were located there to warn of storms/tornadoes approaching from the SW. But that's just supposition on my part; maybe there were there just to play selections from a Rogers and Hammerstein musical on Cadillac Day, for all I know. Anyway, the sight of those sirens made me think of tiny vulnerable towns in the Great Plains, which could be suddenly eradicated from existence by a Greensburg/Udall type event, and these little sirens were a brave way of trying to mitigate existential (and usually nighttime) destruction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
