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.

Yeah its only June. Plenty of time for another ridge to build over the top.

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! 

WOW! Air you can wear out there! 

12:15pm - 92.5 degrees, 79 degree dp, HI shows a 111! 

NASTY!

Looked good for a bit. This was back about 15 mins ago

Thursday starting to look a lot different on models. Heat getting muted by clouds and easterly winds? 

WPC is still pretty good on precip over the next 7 days. GFS backed off. The Euro still pretty wet. 

44.3 for the low in Purcellville

Lol 13z HRRR is loltastically aggressive with a sting-jet feature overnight bringing 50-60mph wind gusts from northern VA through DC and southern MD...

No I don't see it getting THAT windy. 

NAM looks gust this evening as well. I could see some wind advisories for higher elevations being possible.. Would not be surprised for Piedmont as well.

I know models can overdo it many times and what actually gets to the surface can be less. Breezy seems likely - how windy is questionable.

What an awesome morning walk! WOOT WOOT! Was only down to 49 in MBY, but was a great way to start the day!  

1.94 inches here. Few spots vert close by have had almost 2.5 inches. That may be more convective rain firing and headed for Loudoun. Not super organized yet.

First wave of steady rain moving up from lower Delaware. Rather humid outside this morning seems warmer than the air temperature. 

The air is thick with humidity - for sure! Rain was more here than thought! Stupid weather station keeps messing me up! .44 inches so far! That is good stuff! Some stations less than 2 miles away are approaching an inch already! 

.18 so far. 64.5 degrees. As my late dad would say "If it keeps clouding up it is ginna rain!" Every storm... Especially Thunderstorms 

Only .2 inches overnight. Nothing yesterday. Not the rain we needed here.
