    IAD and BWI are probably a lock. DCA will always be heavily dependent on a river wind. That being said, I would tend to agree with you.

    Unfortunately, Virginia does not have a statewide mesonet.

    12z IAD sounding shows warmer temps today at 700mb, now +12°. We're probably capped against any thunderstorm chances outside some rogue surface boundary like a sea breeze, etc.

    Chesapeake Bay baby.

    The Baltimore City mesonet site, located on 12 acres of grass at the Montebello Water Treatment plant, already has a heat index of 91° and an air temperature in the mid 80s.

    I was worried we wouldn't have maxed temps today and struggled in the lows 90s. As with any decent event, once you start slinging warnings and changing plans, etc. you need the event to pan out or you'll look foolish. So let's just go for broke and make this one to remember.

    If DCA doesn't get river winded tomorrow and Friday they could pull back to back 100s.
  8. Eskimo Joe
    12z IAD sounding had +11° temps at 700mb we are capped baby.
  9. Eskimo Joe
    They might've hit 100° today if they weren't river winded for so long.
  10. Eskimo Joe
    The airport being 102° by itself would be suspect, but there's a fairly well sighted APRS/COOP site south of there sitting at 99°. That area of Westminster has become very built up over the past decade so it's possible?

    Air temp in Poolesville hit 97°, new record high temperature for the site.

    That's what you get when you hire @wxmeddler!

    Mesonet network record max heat index of 114° set at College Park mesonet station as of 3pm on 7/1.

    Churchville in Harford County is getting the smallest bit of help from a bay breeze. 91/81.
  15. Eskimo Joe
    Yea that doesn't bode well for the next two days.
  16. Eskimo Joe
    DCA getting river winded to death and still managing the mid 90s is a testament to the urban heat island.
  17. Eskimo Joe
    Even the Bittinger mesonet site, located ~2,600 ft ASL, is at 83°. HI approaching 90° all the way out there.
  18. Eskimo Joe
    Man if we maintain these low level dewpoints and a few degrees overhead tomorrow and Friday it'll be like the heatwave of the 1990s.

    My wife swam competitively for many years. I can't wait to tell her that tonight. She'll laugh from the safety of our pool.
  20. Eskimo Joe
    lol in Harford County the bay is clearly adding to some problems. Churchville (K0W3) with a 110° HI.
  21. Eskimo Joe
    Just more reason to get in the pool!
  22. Eskimo Joe
    HI of 109° in Clarksville and 106° in Poolesville. These are in open, meadow-like areas well away from concrete. Legit.
  23. Eskimo Joe
    Dinner in the pool! If it's in the evening it should be good to hold.
  24. Eskimo Joe
    I believe that Leesburg (KJYO), but that matches the Poolesville mesonet site well.
  25. Eskimo Joe
    Wouldn't it be hilarious if DCA got river winded through this entire event and failed to reach 90 degrees?
