While the older Ms. J is not down on Campus she still got an email about the tornado warning. Saying it was located over Howard U.

Nuthin burger here again. We might be moving to Prince Frederick in a few months so maybe I'll actually see more than one thunderstorm a year. Summer in Germantown is sad

Storms been rocking again for the last hour or so. Up 5.02” for the day.

0.50”. Decent thunder. Will forget about this by the weekend. DCA to 55mph. I gusted to 15mph

Annandale was rocking for sure. Continuous lighting, wind, torrential rains.

Not sure that this cell over DC needs a tornado warning, but I understand the caution

I believe it. Those stupid tulip and sycamore street trees up there are a risk in this storm.

Zeus trying to get me. Crazy lightning in this storm

It’s gotta be steady 45mph winds. 100% hitting severe criteria. Just a blizzard out there. My best storm in 2 years

Christmas eve 2025.

Final high of 97 at EWR.

One inch of rain and counting today. That’s 2.5 for July and nearly 8 inches total over last 30 days.

I just looked at the Arlo cams on my city house in Bloomingdale and you're right, it's a lot of wind with torrential rain.

Driving in 40-50dbz is not fun

Tornado warning. Not saying I was in it, but winds were windy.

Wow!!

Was out walking from Ellsworth plaza back home and saw a bolt hit the Hilton hotel tower. Startlingly close.

Storm of the year in DC near Union Station. Surprising amounts of wind. No visibility

Hi I’m @JiWhere the hell are these afternoon soakers in January and February!?

I finally got a tenth of an inch of rain today. It's starting to get mighty dry around the Valley. Hopefully we'll see more chances the next several days.

Maybe not? Point remains, though.

You get screwed almost every time the low/mid level winds are westerly. I don't recall the exact setup back in June when your area was getting clobbered, but I bet the winds were from the E/SE.

I do believe Newark is representative of its area but not for our area as a whole. You just have to look at the summer of 1993 to see that. Although Newark's hottest summers match my own area's they are always a few degrees hotter. In 1993, Newark had 9 100+ days while NYC had 3 (in a row) and JFK had 2 (in a row.) This was before the siting issues. You can even go back to 1949 when Newark had 8 100+ days while NYC had 5 99+ days. Newark has almost always been a few degrees hotter than Central Park, even before the siting issues. As a matter of fact, going by number of 90 degree days, Newark closely matches Philadelphia, so I'd say their summer climate is more like Philadelphia than it is New York City-- which makes sense, since it is inland.

DC is hit everyday

Letting up a bit after a solid 25 minute deluge.
