86/78 - Air you can wear out there!

Maybe a watch?

Morning walk felt like if I moved too quickly, I could cause enough of a disturbance to cause rain! LOL! Thick out there! 76/75

That was some insane heavy rain here in Purcellville! Was coming down at 4.25" per hour rate according to the weather station. Picked up almost an inch in a very short period of time. Was so heavy visibility was a couple hundred feet!

I was out mowing and that storm was pretty far away when a bolt hit right next to my neighbor's home. Wild. I stopped mowing. The storms were even further than when I took this screen grab. Blue sunny sky with storm clouds a bit in the distance. Got my attention!! Lol

The outflow boundary from storms earlier to the west of Loudoun pretty much seems to have sucked the life out of anything new forming. Guess more activity could spring up. Maryland looks a bit busy and other parts of the area

HI here hit 114 in the last hour but it has fallen. Temp is up to 93.5 degrees and a HI of 107 - Seems the Convective temps have been hit based on the puffy clouds and the look on radar! We shall see.

I do not care that we allow other curse words, this is some messed up stuff!

98.3 was the high today, and high for me for the year! DP is 74.. this is better than yesterday!

Good grief!! DP is up to 82!! HI is 118. At 7:33 the HI was 121 degrees!
