Edit: Track reminded me of Michael. Sorry! This is what it looked like. 

If we do not get some ocean normalization, that heat could really hurt.. BUT, we get some super cold with such a contrasting sea, who knows. Speculation the last few years has been nothing but heartbreak! I have learned many other things that have failed when I felt they should not have! 

95.7 was just shy of my highest day of 96.2. Crazy! Humidity stunk today too! 

A little tropical history 

53 for my low. Coolest for the season so far! Love it

It's time to start the incremental reseeding/overseeding process. More grass has survived than usual, so it won't be a near complete do over. Normally clover takes over as the grass withers away, but it has not done so this year. The key might be getting 10" of rain in July lol. Normal rainfall never made a difference.

Still feeling the sting of drought out this way. I need to secure some seed and get aeration done. The challenge is the dry hard soil. Trajectory has not been great for good rains in Purcellville. We have improved recently but still a lot of parched soil

Still think we have to wait for surveys to be done? 

Oh, ya, I am not saying there weren't any. It is a lot harder to see tornadoes in our area. I would have thought there would have been a few though. Wind was always the primary threat. Rotating supercells were definitely out there in parts of the area. 

Interesting day yesterday. Lots of wind, many supercells, big hail, but few if any tornado reports

Can I ask a dumb question? Is it possible the 45% for DC is partially based on what you all saw last week? As in, we see a stronger wind forecast this time given what the last setup produced?

I believe it has to do with models and the small dry layer that models are advertising. This will bring the potential for hail as well as winds. Now, there are some Mets here that can be more technical than me for sure.

Looking like Monday is our next chance at severe 

Wow

Yesterday was my season high of 96.1 degrees. Thinking that will be it for the Summer as the clouds today are slowing the heating. Dewpoint is 71 and temp is 77. Sticky out there 

LOL! At my home we dodged everything! I ended with a trace! 

Temps is way down to 79! So I am not complaining!

96/79 measured at 2:15pm was the worst of the day. Heat Index at that time was 114. Yuck. May be a bit high. 

93/77... It sucks outside. Heat Index of 106. 

1.38 inches of rain. Had 0.73 2 days ago, so that is good. Some progress in this arid time! 

Stuck on 94, but that DP of 74 gives me a HI of 104.

Went outside and saw someone running in this! WOW! Not sure I am impressed or thinking that it is not so smart!

89/77 - Feels like 102 with that humidity! YUCK!

12pm temps 

BWI 89

IAD 87

DCA 86

84 out here in Purcellville. The filtered sunshine has helped. I think if we break out the temps will soar quick. But I am happy so far with the slower rise.

I noticed a line of light returns on radar moving from NE to SW before all this fired up.

It looks like the storm was just dying out and I guess collapsing on itself. Quickly weakened to the northeast. One of the longest duration hail storms I have ever been in. Some stones definitely were bigger than half inch. Wild. Front yard https://fb.watch/m08-ZxzBy5/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Such a strange storm. Wild winds and stuff from different directions. Kind of surreal outside with strong winds from the east. 

Awesome hailstorm in Purcellville 

Wow. 

Big dry area. 

Was a scorcher here at 93. Humidity too! I mean.. it was summer today with the worst type of set ups.. hot and humid. We shall endure!
