dailylurker Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Surprisingly it doesn't feel as humid as it did last evening. Next week looks great. Sunny, temps below 80 and lower humidity. We just need to get past the next few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Ended with about 0.6" yesterday here in my little corner of Burke. Quick hitter, but it dumped. Hoping we have decent weather for the last weekend of the neighborhood pool, then next week it's looking like an acceptable week for the pool to be closed (seems like it's always the other way around!).

LongRanger Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Since a low of 52 at my station Aug 21, the daily min has ticked up for 6 consecutive days. I don't believe I've ever seen that happen before across decades of observations. If tonight's forecast is correct, that will bump to 7 consecutive.

TheClimateChanger Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Very impressive stretch at Parkersburg, West Virginia, with new daily records set on 5 of the last 6 days. New record lows set last Wednesday through Friday, and new record highs each of the last two days. The high is likely to approach the record of 100F today, set in 1948, and may tie that value but breaking it is probably unlikely. Saturday was close to the record high [2F shy] and record low [4F], with 35-40F diurnal ranges common over the past week amplified by the extreme drought. Really easy to see the impact of the drought conditions. High temperatures for the summer are 3rd warmest of record, narrowly behind 1934 & 1936. But low temperatures are tied for 27th coolest with several other years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday's 94F/53F apparently occurred on one other occasion. I suspect yesterday (98F/61F) must have been close to a Weathergami as well. Will have to keep an eye when that data is released later.

Eyeballing it, I think 98/61 looks like a Weathergami. Certainly not much population density there, either way. If it is a Weathergami, that would be 3 new combinations in 4 days with nearly 100 years of records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it totally ruins our run at extreme heat. Heat is the only weather we do right and it's the only weather i hope fails. Give me nuking cold blast and wind. That's fine. I'll hike all day in that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biodhokie Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I'm done with the heat, I'm tired of waking up at 0530 to run in a swamp. Give me 50s and wet over 72 and humid so I can train for the marine corps marathon in peace. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GATECH Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 102! F this Sh!t. That makes 12 100+ days this year. The previous 4 years with this same instrument in the same location I had a total of zero 100 degree days. 2024 is the summer equivalent for heat that 2009-2010 was for snowfall… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
