Eskimo Joe Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 4 minutes ago, MN Transplant said: Yeah, I remain skeptical. Even if it is doing well with verification at 500mb, the actual weather matters more. NAM's 850s top out at 20-21C. GFS is around 22C. Euro is 22-23C. It's definitely warmer this morning. Even the mesonet stations in Maryland, which are placed in open areas away from UHI effects, only dropped into the upper 70s to near 80 degrees last night.

The models diverge by 00z this evening, with the GFS already pushing 20 and the NAM stuck in the 18 range. I can't fathom that the NAM will be correct here.

MN Transplant Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 90 at home. That was easy. I'm a little more bullish on heat than I might otherwise be simply because of how dry it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 DCA should hit 90 at noon or close to it. Prob looking at 95-97 today I would think unless we get clouds or a more dominant south wind. Although the Potomac is heating up - water temp in the Washington Channel (closest buoy to DCA) is 83F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paleocene Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 93F at my nearest weatherbug, and certainly feels that way in the full sun. DP of 68 and humidity at 49%, which imo makes being in the shade still nice if there's a slight breeze. Seems like the breeze is dying though. Neighborhood parks/ball fields are scorched and crunchy. Forests will start to droop and lose leaves if this continues, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 i think during one of the mega heat waves in the early 2010s, EWR was like a high of 108 and low of 86 or something - like come on. NYC was 104/84 that day, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
