And probably will continue into at least the second week of the month, although maybe like upper 80s/low 90s vs near 100 next week. Might have to start looking at record warmest September and see how close we may get. Payback for summer with no summer. Late season heat waves suck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Woke up to the garden shower. Looks like around 0.1” fell (guesstimate based off local wx stations). Gambrill/watershed might have done a little better, which is right up the street from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I go during the week. Dudes were flying past me on bikes the whole time. I'd just blow a cloud of weed smoke for them as they came by lol. I also go there to see winter since we don't really have winter on the coastal plan anymore. The lake I visit up there is almost dried up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, I rode past someone the other day (on an uphill climb) who was taking a toke break lol. I haven’t ridden the crazy stuff there, but even the easier trails are intermediate because you still have to navigate around rocks at times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Rather would have the heat now than October. I think it was Oct 2018 where we went upper 90s for days and the trees just gave up and dropped their leaves en mass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly hasn't reached the temperatures that the models (specifically the GFS) have shown. But for the most part, the idea of it getting warmer has generally come to fruition...

BlizzardNole Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I'm looking forward to the next few days of very nice weather, but going into that dry heatwave next week after having no rain since August 7 is not good. LWX making a mention of how bad things are getting: Another point of concern is the ongoing drought from the Shenandoah Valley up into central MD and eastern WV. With this prolonged period of dry and hot conditions, this may only continue to get worse. In addition, with the low RH values and hot temperatures, fires will be quick to ignite, especially in the early to middle portions of next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I’ve been ranting about this for years, but IMHO the best evidence in this region of climate change is what’s happened to September. It’s basically become the new August. This upcoming one looks to be no different. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxUSAF Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 If you believe the ensembles, the major heat does recede by next weekend and the week after. Still warm for September, but more like mid/upper 80s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 What’s happening right now in SE Virginia is a bit unexpected, right? TS-force gusts and a solid rain shield…covered by wind advisories and coastal flood warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch the base reflectivity loop out of Wakefield, you can see the front pinching off the NW edge of the precip shield and shoving Idalia out to sea. Pretty neato. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
