feels very warm to me. 86 to 89 at most home/non-official sites, enough en masse that combined with the sensible appeal out there ...it's legit. With almost nill movement to the air and intense insolation, that's pushing it

Insane explosion of convection in SE Delaware during the last 60 minutes. Very impressive, cloud tops going bonkers! https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=ne&band=GEOCOLOR&length=24

The high was 92 here around 1 PM and then the sea breeze came in and now down to 87 even though it's mostly sunny.

Sneaky heat today...93F.

81.4° Heat has been kinda meh up here today despite full sun. Only 85° at CON so far.

Nothing happening over MD or much of NoVA. No cap on the mornings IAD sounding and we should be at convective temp.

Are we Great yet?

My Red Gook/Cobble Hill neighborhood, ref Accu Weather 93. NWS Central Park 88. Shade for the win or loss……. As always …..

I'll take a less humid stretch, too.

the reason is a political backed decision by the present administration, tho

Same areas in SE Delaware that got slammed yesterday are getitng slammed again today. Northern DE. also with storms. Flash Flood warning and severe storm warning posted in each area. Of course I missed them again for the third day in a row.

With that said, still a far cry from the olden days of the 2010s, when DCA would far outpace all other sites in the CWA not named "Maryland Science Center." Looks like they got most of that so-called UHI in check at National Airport. At the height of its urban heating days, in 2015, it was 1.5F warmer than any other site. Even beating DMH by 1.8F. With the 2015 sensor in place, would probably be making a run for record warmest. 2025 2010 2015

This comment is not political in any way shape or form. Why is the General Public losing (already paid for) access to data? NOAA and the NWS is undergoing budget cuts. SAD, so sad the day might come that the Commerce Dept. is defunded, no research and thus weakening predicting lifesaving events. WTF is going on.

we don't use the GFS anymore remember

Likely scattered convection, likely the usual suspects the big winners. Coastal central Jersey being the perpetual jackpot.

Surprised to see DCA is only running +0.5F for the month. Looks to be the lowest of all sites (including reporting cooperative observations) in the IWX CWA, with the majority of stations running between +1.5F and 3.5F. There were a couple stations with an anomaly close to that of DCA, and a few warm outliers (> +4F), but DCA looks to have the lowest anomaly of all sites. It is worth noting that the "normal" is 0.5F above the 1991-2020 mean, so if not for that added warming from NOAA, it would be +1.0F for the month and more in line with surrounding sites. Most of the co-op "normals" are just based on simple averages, I do believe. As an aside, I always cringe when people object to calling it a "normal" and instead call it "average" when it's NOT an average. The justification being there's no such thing as normal in climate, ignoring that the term has a specific meaning in this context, and calling it an average is just plain incorrect. I have seen some stations where the "normal" is as much as 1.5F above the 1991-2020 mean.

Maybe it reminds them of Christmas?

Got a little popup storm moving up from Delaware that has prompted a severe tstorm warning. Looks like a crawler, could get some rain - it's been on the light side here too lately. 87°F currently.

Got a meso discussion saying watch unlikely but good environment for convection

Humpf... Same as it ever was.

A month for the ages about to begin, cannot wait !

Back half torch, that’s all that matters.

My wife had horses there for years when she lived in Finksburg and Sykesville.
