Let @JenkinsJinkies do it so it doesn’t happen.

Figured as @CAPE said to make a thread about it since the heat is coming... will it break records? Discuss!

Added BYC will add LGA - JFK

0.22” since Friday

Wow, that is sad. I wonder what your soil moisture is down there. https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-moisture Yesterday I was lucky enough to get .80 in the cells that formed SW of me near Warwick and Galena.

What’s the odds of a BD forming during this stretch?

We need a Big Heat discussion thread.

Yeah the site is having some issues.

I measured 0.07" yesterday morning. Nothing since except a few light sprinkles.

The temperature was 96 degrees in the shade, and there were more casualties from the heat than from bullets. (David Ludlum) 1865: 24 people were killed by a tornado which cut a 40 mile swath through Southwest Wisconsin. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1892 - The temperature at Orogrande UT soared to 116 degrees to establish a record for the state. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders) 1923 - A massive tornado hit Sandusky, OH, then swept across Lake Erie to strike the town of Lorain. The tornado killed 86 persons and caused twelve million dollars damage. The tornado outbreak that day was the worst of record for the state of Ohio up til that time. (David Ludlum) 1924: An F4 tornado hit Sandusky, OH then moved eastward across Lake Erie to strike Lorain, OH. 15 of the 64 deaths at Lorain occurred in the State Theatre, where a silent film was being shown.

(Ref. Lowest and Highest Temperatures for the 50 States) 1957: On this date through the 29th, the remnants of Hurricane Audrey combined with another area of low pressure over the Lower Lakes region. This produced one of the worst June storms of record and established a new record low sea-level pressure of 29.04 inches of mercury for the month of June. Heavy rains totaled 1.73 inches in 24 hours. The resulting gale on the 29th caused some of the worst damage to power lines in 30 years. One man was killed by a falling wire. In extreme east central Illinois, the town of Paris, in Edgar County, reported 10.20 inches of rainfall. This was a major contributor to a record June rainfall total of 17.65 inches, as well as a record year total of 61.59 inches. Weather records in Paris began in 1893. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1960: Kentucky registered their record maximum 24-hour precipitation as 10.41 inches of rain fell at Dunmor. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1968: Unseasonably heavy snow from the Cascades to the Northern Rockies, with 3 inches at Odell Lake, OR, and 2 inches at Mt. Rainier, WA through the 29th.

(The Weather Channel) 1980 - The temperature at Wichita Falls, TX, soared to 117 degrees, their hottest reading of record. Daily highs were 110 degrees or above between the 24th of June and the 3rd of July. (The Weather Channel) 1987 - Thunderstorms developing along a cold front produced severe weather in the north central U.S. Thunderstorms in Nebraska produced wind gusts to 70 mph and baseball size hail at Arapahoe, and wind gusts to 80 mph along with baseball size hail at Wolback and Belgrade. Six cities in the Ohio Valley reported record low temperatures for the date, including Cincinnati, OH, with a reading of 50 degrees. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1988 - Showers and thunderstorms brought much needed rains to parts of the central U.S. Madison, WI, received 1.67 inches of rain, a record for the date, and their first measurable rain since the Mother's Day tornado outbreak on the 8th of May. (The National Weather Summary) 1989 - Evening thunderstorms deluged Winnfield LA with eleven inches of rain in four hours and fifteen minutes, and Baton Rouge LA reported 11 inches of rain in two days. Totals in west central Louisiana ranged up to 17 inches. Thunderstorms produced severe weather in the Northern High Plains. Two inch hail broke windows in nearly every building at Comstock, NE. Thunderstorms in North Dakta produced two inch hail at Killdeer, and golf ball size hail at Zap. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data) 1998: Record breaking heat occurred across parts of the southern Plains. Amarillo, TX (recently broken, currently 6/26/2011: 111°) and Dodge City, KS both set their all-time record high temperatures with 108° and 110° respectively. Roswell, NM recorded a record daily high of 110 °F. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2003: A damaging severe thunderstorm rolled in from the east into Liberal, KS. The combination of 80 to 100 mph wind and hail larger than golf balls produced at least $8 million dollars in damage. Flash flooding occurred following the devastating hail and wind storm. Nearly all streets in and around Liberal were flooded. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 2006: The storm total of the 22nd - 28th of 2006 was 12.10 inches the most precipitation ever recorded at the Annandale Weather Center in a storm in the last 26 years; the old storm total record was October 6th - 8th of 2005 when 7.09 inches occurred. We were lucky in a sense that 2006 was dry with a - 6.29 precipitation departure going into June or even more flooding would have been experienced. (Annandale Weather Center - Annandale, VA.) 2010: The maximum temperature today at the Richmond International Airport was 102 °F which not only broke the record high temperature for the date, but was close to the 104 °F record maximum for the month of June. Both June 27th and 28th had a maximum temperature 102 °F. Richmond has never had back to back 100 °F plus days before in June. Only three June days have been hotter: (June 30, 1937 103 °F) (June 19, 1944 103 °F) (June 26, 1952 104 °F ) June 2010 also had 19 days of 90 °F or hotter temperatures the record was 20 in 1943. The Richmond International Airport reported the mean temperature for June was 81.1 °F which was a new 113 year record. This breaks the old record of 79.2 °F set in 1943 and was a +8.7 °F departure from average. June had 8 new daily temperature records and all were for heat. (Ref. Richmond Weather Records - KRIC) 2010: Richmond, Virginia, set record for the most days in June reaching 102 degrees F (June 24, 27, and 28). (Ref. Weatherwise U.S. Weather Highlights of 2010 page 8 )

If these sprinkles continue I may crack 0.02” as a weekend total

New England’s on Fire! ACATT is terrified cuz New England’s on fire! Rooooo! Na na na na na na na Na na Na na Na naaaa

That batch of rain west of DC has been sitting there since last evening. It just morphs but doesn't move east. That area is doing well. I'm thankful for the rain i received last evening.

Your call for extreme heat is happening. Very rare to see the Extreme Heat watch issued. Going to be brutal, not to mention the dew points and real feel temps.

Seems like 2006 / 2002 progression so far. We'll have to see the extent of the ridge in the 7/8 - mid month period.

75 / 68 clouds hanging around much of the day but with breaks. Warm / humid low -mid 80swhere the sun comes out most. Trough into the west with snow into the mountains MT - ID - WY and subsequent ridge popping into the Midwest and northeast. Building warmth into record heat 6/29 - 7/5 with core of the heat into the Southeast- Mid Atlantic and NYC-NJ region Wed - Sat. Ridge builds to >594 Dm and 850 MB temps forecast in the >20c by Wed and peaking >22c Thu-Fri. The Fourth of July extended weekend 250th comes in hot blazing Fri-Sat and Sunday - Isolated storms on the euro / more scattered storms on the gfs but for 90% i think it'll be good. A bit of a pull back 7/6 - 7/7 but overall hot beyond with very stong / intense heat nearby and flirting with the eara in the period beyond.

I’ll wag BWI and DCA hit 100 twice, but not all time records. IAD gets to 99 or 100 as a max.

Oh I think we hit exceptional for sure after July and Aug both less than 1.0 total rainfall and many 100-degree days

Who will hit 110?!?

Should be banter but anyone having issues with connections to https://www.weather.gov/phi/

Finally getting some useless sprinkles this morning. 0.05" for the event! With the big heat on the way and only low probability for showers the end of the week, the monthly total here will be less than 1.5". 4 months straight below avg and only one of those months was above 50% of normal. Exceptional drought category is a possibility. Pretty sure I have never seen that here.

Light rain/ drizzle from Brunswick to Frederick this am along with patchy fog. Pleasant surprise, not a drought buster but everything is wet!!!

Yeah it’s probably 95-100 or so. You need plume if 24C+ at 850 and crystal clear skies both of which may not happen.

The lack of rain is very concerning.

LOL. Another month or so and its finally put out to pasture?
