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.

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.

Big amplified MJO wave push into phase 7 then 8 come early next month. This is in addition to the expected explosion of typhoons in the PAC. No doubt yet another huge WWB and subsequent DWKW is coming. +IOD expected to pop come mid-July. Increasing confidence that we are into a super El Niño by the time met fall starts (9/1)

Models have been really bad lately it seems.

Dumping. Up to 0.04”. Another hour or two and I’ll exceed daily average precip for late June!

Do it

Hopefully everyone is safe where it’s flooding. It was a total bust here in middle but looking at KY and other areas, I am glad it did bust here.

Over .5 of an inch with the convergence axis shifting over me this morning. Probably will pick up close to an inch.

I’m leading that charge like that shirtless Scot dude with the makeup and fur garment in Miami.

Still drunk?

First 90 degree day of the summer yesterday, but somehow was rewarded this morning with a low in the 40s.

Highest temp I've recorded at my station is 104° on July 22, 2011.... That day also had my warmest minimum at 84°.... We shall see .

Hoping for some bangers overnight Tuesday. Euro seems to keep it way north.

It was 10am.
