look, what do we do well around here?? Heat and catastrophic amounts of rain over a short timeframe on a very localized level. We've already knocked out the latter several times this season. We gotta go big with the heat.
it's kind of insane that lows in the upper 70s are now pretty routine in the urban areas from DC to NYC from late June through August. And around here a couple 80+ lows are now mostly an annual occurrence.
probably a lock for a couple nights of 80F+ as well with the lack of storms. We will probably have quite the extended period of 75F+ temps as well (low overnight in DC was 77F).
about 3.5" here downtown, so not as much as DCA but it was pouring overnight. Drainage is extremely good around here though so we almost never have any flooding (everything just flows into Rock Creek and the Potomac).
I remember that storm - I lived in Georgetown at the time (across the street from Rose Park) and Rock Creek Parkway had turned into a raging river. Crazy amounts of rain.
