Radar lighting up a bit just to my west. Hopefully I can catch a downpour.
-
77/73 Sultry. Soupy. Windows steamed up.
-
Had one brief torrential downpour early this morning that yielded 0.15". Hearing booming thunder now as a cell has just popped up but looking at radar it is just NE of here. Hopefully this afternoon/evening delivers.

That's typically the way we get it in summer, outside of tropical. Prolonged light-moderate soaking rain events are hard to come by. Torrential works for me because of the flat terrain and lack of impervious surfaces around.

Beautiful evening here. 73/53 with a nice breeze. Almost hard to believe how awful it will feel by this time tomorrow, and even worse by Sunday.
-
Most of us could use an inch+ of rain. Don't really care about the severe at this point.

Nothing but a period of light rain here. 0.15". That won't help much.
-
High of 95 here. Still 87 going on 8PM.
-
That's ugly. FV3 Hi-res would work.
-
Os are slumping a bit. Not worried at all about the offense at this juncture. Pitching is becoming more problematic, but they have plenty of young talent to go make a couple of deals at the deadline to shore it up.
-
Nice this morning. Low of 59.
-
0.22" Better than nothing, esp as unimpressive as the radar looks overall. Pretty lucky to get anything. Maybe another shot in the early morning hours.
-
Getting a decent shower here for the first time in recent memory.
-
95 here. High for the day. It feels hot out, but there has been a significant breeze all day so it isn't awful.
-
Still 83 approaching 930. Doesn't feel bad out at all really, but pretty impressive for here where there is zero UHI and really nothing but open fields and woods with clear skies. Probably hit a low of about 78.
-
Temp down to 93 at 430. Living in the middle of nowhere with trees and farm fields all around has its slight advantages.
-
Temp down to 95 now. That 97 reading was probably sun influenced. My station is in the direct sun for a time mid-late afternoon.
-
Walking out onto the deck from the AC space it feels like an oven lol. It's mostly shaded now so I can stand out in it for 10 mins without breaking a sweat. Just don't move much. Luckily not much movement required for a couple hits of weed. Back inside now with a KBS.

97/68

91/70 at noon

72 here this morning. It has been in the mid 60s the last few mornings. The big heat is on. Could really feel the increase in humidity yesterday afternoon.

There is an ongoing discussion/debate associated with the international requirements for reduced emissions from ships having an impact on warming. I work for the shipping industry on the training side, and we constantly adapt our course offerings to any (new) international requirements. Currently many ships powered by 2 stroke diesels are switching over to burning LNG as a fuel because its 'cleaner'. These engines are considered dual fuel- burning diesel as a back up to the boil off gas from the LNG. Pretty complex process from storage of the fuel as a cryogenic liquid to getting it to an acceptable pressure and temperature where it can be injected into the engine. The article linked below references a UMBC study on warming effects related to reduced SO2 emissions. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2433564-cleaner-ship-emissions-may-warm-the-planet-far-faster-than-expected/#:~:text=This effect was more acute,average%2C according to the study.

Now abnormally dry across most of the region with areas of moderate drought in VA west of DC and the lower eastern shore. https://www.drought.gov/data-maps-tools/us-drought-monitor
