Just west of DC? I’m having all kinds of trouble getting on LWX’s site. Edit: I see it now on CWG’s app. Fairfax county and DC proper.

Really nice unexpected treat this morning. Looks like a wake low. Healthy amount of rain will keep the garden happy with the incoming heat.

Record SJT on June 26. .

Rain total yesterday was .33". Total for the week was 3.88". Glad I got lucky with some heavier totals before the heat arrived. Looks like a hot stretch mid and late week. I'm thinking @MJO812 and @nycwinter will be hunkered down until further notice. Really wish CP had the instrumentation back at Belvedere Castle where it was properly sited so we could get a better sense of NYC temperatures. Thankfully we have the NYC Micronet sites across the city. CP bothers me only because that is what the media uses to give temperatures for the city and it is what people hear on new reports etc. Will be interested to see what CP tops out at vs surrounding sites.

Localized flood watch

Send that precip south to the fires. Sad story from Eagle Point.

Pretty nice MCV making a direct hit on the MSP area this morning. Dews are in the 60s here this morning, but should be well into the 70s by this afternoon. Non-stop 70s to occasionally 80s for dews from here on out until at least July 10th. Ready 2 sweat.

For @vortex95... snowing this morning at Alta and the neighboring Wasatch peaks around Salt Lake City.

I’m just watering gardens. Gave up on the lawn in the early innings this year.

Mt holly issued an extreme heat watch already

If DCA hits 90° by 10am, 100° is almost a lock. You almost need 90°by 11am or its not happening. Getting 100° in these parts is rare, getting 100°+ is even rarer.

My heart goes out to Doug Kammerer

Welcome to the club. Lawns have been toast here for a month.

Sitting under the last part of New England still under the clouds.

Definitely gonna be some bigtime Rainers today. Dews and the clouds have that look. Towering CU already

.3 at home yesterday. That fog this morning was no joke.

Very small rain blob right over central-western Fairfax County since at least sunrise. I keep waiting for this rain cell to move east and for us to get some sunshine to reduce the dewpoint a little, but it keeps on not happening. Pretty frustrating,

Anyone else having trouble getting on the weather.gov site? side note, as extreme as this heat event looks, more interesting to me is long range, afterwards doesn’t look at that hot. Usually these heat events are harbingers of above average months but this looks relatively short lived. Will be interesting to see the final anomalies for July. With how extreme of a start we will have, a +1 or +2F month would be cool honestly

yep

Skies are clearing and the sun just feels crazy strong today.

Yesterday I only got near .10 of rain, which was disappointing. My lawn is drying out & getting crispy in some areas. This week’s extreme heat will certainly not help. At least this heat wave is happening in the heart of Summer. In another 6 weeks, we will be able to begin to see our way out to Fall.

Is the NWS website down for anyone else?

That is an incredible moisture deficit. I did not realize how bad the area is.

Lawns are going to crisp up nicely. Not seeing any widespread precipitation in our future.

Past 1 inch now as it’s a downpour. The rainfall rate is over 1.5 inch an hour at times.
