I told my wife about a week ago it seems from day 4/5 thru 10/14 it shows LOTS of rain/showers, then pulls back when the 4/5 gets to 1/3. Rinse and repeat. 

We always say this during the winter (10 days away!). Now it appears as though this is a year-round chant

DCA's 87/78 at 11pm is among the warmest temperatures in the US right now outside of the desert SW.

[pazzo83]

87/78 with a HI of 100F at midnight for DCA.  An extremely warm night tonight.

[weatherCCB]

79/72

[GramaxRefugee]

Low of 78. My highest min since several years. Was 82 at midnight.

[Terpeast]

Min of 77, wow

[RDM]

Low of only 76.  Currently 86/78dp - ouch. 

[Herb@MAWS]

Low 79.4 here in cooler Columbia burbs

I haven't mowed in over 4 weeks only watered my shrubs and trees. This summer is insane so far

Same, I’m not going to jack up my water bill trying to save the grass. Only the essentials - garden, dogwood and fig tree

I tried for a while to keep the grass alive, but i'm done.  Without any help at all from the sky there's no point, and no doubt watering prohibitions are coming again soon anyway.

[Herb@MAWS]

I mowed earlier this week but only about 1/4 of the lawn really needed it and it had been 3-4 weeks since last mowing.

Am always happy to see lawn go brown and dormant. Vaca from mowing. I know it will green up when the rains come so a few weeks of brown lawn is a welcomed break.

9am BWI temp 90, HX 97. 

[Kevin Reilly]

89.6f humidity 77% dewpoint 80f feels like 109f currently.  I too have not mowed the grass in 4 weeks even after getting 2.00" of rain in 27 hours last week. 

[87storms]

Here's the thing...

if you asked me would I rather have 100 degrees with a sun angle of 73 degrees and ~15 hrs of daylight versus an altitude of 27 degrees and about 10 hrs of daylight, I'm choosing "now"...

...unless it's snowing.

Woof. 90 by 10am is Ian’s old rule of thumb for a 100 day.

I think DCA hits 100 today, unless clouds get in the way.

[Terpeast]

   They're dry, but I wouldn't say "suddenly".   Things have been trending towards very limited coverage over all runs from the past couple of days.     Still some small chance this evening, but I don't see how we generate storms tomorrow with lowering dew points and (light) north winds.

[mdhokie]

Driving to OC it was 90 at 830am crossing into DE. By the time we got to coastal hwy it was 79 with a nice breeze. Would hate to be just inland and roasting.

[87storms]

Beautiful out today. Much better than the stratus decks we were dealing with all spring.

[Herb@MAWS]

DCA 2pm 98 with a North wind gusting to 17mph. 

[GATECH]

Good god.  102 again today!  HI 114!
