I’m surprised… I could’ve sworn we had some upper 70s January days in the past. I wouldn’t put it past BWI to hit 80 today but will probably just fall short.

I could be wrong - maybe that is a daily record.

looks like BWI also just set their all time monthly high - 77F.

So December is now the last hold out for sub 80F max temps.  Gotta wonder when that falls.

Do we always over perform when it comes to heat? 

this is pretty insane.

I'm pretty shocked we hung on to the westerly wind to get there.  Usually the river wind takes over on days like this.

This is the only 80F ever recorded between Nov 19 and Feb 20 (Nov 18 is the latest 80F ever recorded for a calendar year, and Feb 21 used to be the earliest).

DCA just hit 80F.   Good lord.

lol loving that 92/90 ob - Dubai anyone?

Back-to-back obs of 26C (78.8F) at DCA, I think we at least touched 79F.

if we can get another 30 min or so of WSW/SW winds, DCA will hit 80.  But that river wind will be tough to fight.

lmfao 79 at DCA right now.  Record tied (possibly)

78F at IAD (78/60)... yeah.

lol they might hit 80

76F officially at DCA.  When the wind gets a westerly component, the temp shoots up.

Like it's been a pretty typical January - seasonable.  Everyone is pretty much at their expected snowfall for this point in the season.  We've had some nice wintry periods.  Oh, and how about blowing the doors off of some monthly heat records?  Temps near 80 anyone?

isn't it a bit unsettling to anyone that we've just creaked the door open a bit for warmth and we are blowing away monthly records?

I am so glad I was only 10 years old and didn't know about why/how it happened...all I remember is the disappointment of waking up that morning to clear blue skies, and being upset about it (which proves snow weenieism is something you're born with, lol). But luckily I didn't know that folks just S (or was it north?) were getting hammered.

It's hard to look at.

I remember the sun being out in the middle of the 1 to 2 ft forecast.

We had 2-3ft forecast - same deal.  Traumatizing.

These March 2001 jokes just don’t hit the same way for those of us who are under 35

Imagine Boxing Day but 10x worse.

71F at DCA.

This thread is suppose to be a train wreck right? I am just adding more trains to it!

there are lines you just don't cross.
