  1. Past hour
  2. 2pm DCA 100 BWI 101 IAD 97 RIC 99 CHO 99 SBY 100
  3. Even in an extreme drought those Asian Tiger mosquitoes manage to do their thing. Tiny bastards only bite during the day and you feel it instantly. Luckily my reaction is mild- no welt or persistent itch.
  4. Prince Anne mesonet site running a heat index of 117°...looks like we lost a degree or two on the dewpoints but that's allowing air temps to get higher?
  5. Good thing I wasn’t celebrating 4th of July this year anyway lol I think we may have to spend the evening in our car. We had just filled the fridge with groceries yesterday too.
  6. BWI hits 100° Inner Harbor hits 101°
  7. Any objections to posting the storms and heat obs into this thread for at least today?
  8. Funny how after two days of 118F heat indices, 104 doesn't feel too bad.
  9. 98F/DP 70F as we approach 2:00. Maybe I’ll make a run at 100F today after all.
  10. There almost needs to be a separate scale for the Northeast. The impacts are not equal to other regions. Sure other regions get the higher end severe and more significant, however, a you can get a squall line rip through the Northeast and result in >50,000 power outages and put that line of same strength through the mid-west and barely get 20,000 power outages. Lots of reasons for that obviously but impacts here can be greater just because of population density and trees and how the power grid is configured
  11. Just about 2 more months of summer wx for you guys left up there, enjoy the pleasant temps! Then it’s countdown to the 1st frost/freeze of the season!
  12. As expected. 100s are very hard to come for most of us without the perfect conditions. In most scenarios you really need drought-like conditions to hit that century mark.
  13. The biggest issue with the change is that it only applies to organized severe, and we get quite a bit of disorganized severe. So microbursts fall outside of the scope of the outlooks.
  14. Agreed. The more I dig into the changes and thought about it, the changes are a great positive. The number of moderate risk/high risk issuances should be reduced and only conserved for events that hold true significant and widespread potential. And for our area at least, we maybe get those type of setups with that potential maybe once every five years, if lucky. Probably closer to 1:7.
  15. Thanks for the term. I had never seen, or noticed, one in that posture but guessed why. I have more water out now. Hot enough in Pen Mar for panting chickens, ugh! Low 80, currently 94/76
  16. It was probably the goal. But I do think widespread coverage of 45kt gusts probably doesn't deserve a moderate.
