  1. Looks like LWX upgrading western MD and the WV panhandle. Makes sense. We definitely appear to be outpacing guidance for at least today.
  2. The Washington County mesonet sites already pushing HI of 100° before 11am is impressive. Those are all calibrated sensors too!
  3. Hi there! I grew up in Roxborough near Manayunk Ave & Ridge Ave. Went to school in Manayunk then Norristown. Loved biking and fishing back the Wissahickon from the Septa bridge up to the Valley Green Inn.
  4. Unbelievable. Back in the 90s you got heat stroke and liked it. You cooled off with a warm PBR and hanging out in the 700 level of the Vet. Kids these days are softer than Tasty Twisters Pretzels™.
  5. According to my records, my Cooperative Observation site (RSTM2) has never recorded a 100° air temperature. Wonder if we may it this time? I'm leaning towards a no.
  6. There's gotta be some kind of pooling in the mountains. Even the Poolesville sensor is showing a trend towards higher surface dews and HI.
  7. Cumberland airport (KCBE) with a dew of 74° and HI of 101°. Impressive.
  8. Interesting low level humidity increase in the mountains. Some dewpoints in the mid 70s already. Hancock mesonet site has a heat index of 99° already.
  9. If we don't get some storms when this ridge breaks down a bit, then we're setting ourselves up for a very hot July.
  10. Nearly all Euro ensemble guidance has Philly and Wilmington hitting 100° Thursday and Friday. Event ACY is in the upper 90s on Friday.
  11. Impressive clustering from the EPS. Nearly all of it's ensemble members have DCA at or above 100° air temp on Thursday and Friday.
  12. 06z GFS/Euro try to keep the upper 90s to 100° through Sunday, 7/5.
  13. It's 10 pm and our Baltimore City mesonet site, which is located on about 10 acres of grass, is still 80°.
  14. Stacking hay this weekend and cleaning horse stalls.
  15. I'm working outside Thur. - Sun. at the farm. If I'm going to suffer, I want to suffer in rare conditions.
  16. My COOP site (RSTM2) has never hit 100° either.
  17. Same. This thing has been hyped so much that we almost need it to verify to save face.
  18. If DCA hits 90° by 10am, 100° is almost a lock. You almost need 90°by 11am or its not happening. Getting 100° in these parts is rare, getting 100°+ is even rarer.
  19. Mostly for inside the beltway to cover the urban watersheds that can flash quickly (Anacostia River, Sligo Creek, etc.) Some of the CAMs have been persistent in a narrow stripe of 1" -3" of rain in under 3 hours which would absolutely cause problems. The atmosphere is juiced with 70+ degree dewpoints.
  20. Big west coast trough delivers snow to help aquifers, and hopefully pump that east coast ridge. Win win!
  21. Speaking of TORs, looks like there may have been a brief spin up near Sussex County, DE today.
