Starting to get there here in Loudoun. I have bouncing between 86 and 88 for a while now.. Many places just to my south have maintained 87 to as high as 90..so borderline.. All about the sunshine though, and it has been sporadic

88 hot and humid sticky degrees outside today! YUCK! DP shows 79 - So thick out there! If I move too fast feel I may cause a contrail! LOL!

That radar is interesting up there in Maryland.

Note the 5pm update

Anyone else feel or hear what may have been an earthquake??

Sun has popped out here in Purcellville...so far I have. 0.58 I. The last 23 hours. Maybe some instability will bring some more showers and storms.

.03 so far just SW of Purcellville!

So far fringes in Nova. Trajectory not great for the rain shadow here in western Loudoun. Will need fresh development lee side to get anything, and I am a bit south too,. Maryland is lighting up quick!

Alright folks. Feel like a small tornado came through. Thoughts? Green blob just south of Purcellville

Just because - WOW! What an explosion!

Is that thing doing something interesting just north of Fredericksburg?

.03 inches of precipitation in the last 24 hours. We did have .24 inches Monday. Only .64 inches since June 22nd. Purcellville is super dry! We will see if we get more rain today! Weeds are thriving!

Just hot 90 degrees! 9 am! This is just craziness! I am gonna say that I suspect my thermometer may be 1 to 2 degrees high, but, so what when it gets this hot!

Pretty interesting night for temps. Just after 2am I hit a low of 75. We then had some westerly winds kick in an this raised temperatures to 84 degrees at about 4:30 am. The winds have calmed and Temps are falling again as I am sitting at 80. Pretty wild.

61 degree low was so refreshing. When the dews came down I just realized how much I hate the high dew points even more. Have a great Sunday everyone

Out here, just southwest of Purcellville, I am sitting at 1.58 inches of rain for the last 31 days! The storm two nights ago dumped almost an inch of rain less than 1 mile from my home! Yesterday, the storms literally split around me and I ended up with .04" . I submitted the information to the Climate office. Meanwhile, friends of mine in the eastern part of Loudoun saw 8+ inches of rain in June and over 3 inches the last week! I have brown grass and a dusty dry yard!

Not too exciting. Bit of wind and some quick heavy rain. Heard one thunderclap here in Purcellville. This is quickly moving on, but was not just a rain shower.. had winds in the upper 30s briefly.

Soupy out there for sure. Occasional sun in Purcellville with a temp hovering around 74 for a while. DP of 68

I just happened to read that warning and it was estimating winds to 80mph possible! WOW!

Wow! Glad they are ok!

Just a note! Eastern NC is lit! Wow!

LWX thoughts Potential still exists for a second round of showers and possible thunderstorms to develop in the 15Z-18Z time frame, but this isn`t completely certain it will happen. Hi-res models are in disagreement with convective coverage with the HRRR showing mainly shallow convection and the Hi-Res ARW and the NSSL WRF ARW showing scattered deep convection in the form of short lines or bowing segments. The 12Z IAD sounding showed two inversions with one from sfc to 850 mb and second one from 750 to 700 mb and corresponding high LFC or Level of Free Convection abv 700 mb. With best 3-hr pressure falls and height falls occurring over western and north central MD in the 15Z-18Z time frame, this is where I would expect the best chance of deep convective development rest of today. Regardless of convective coverage and intensity, strong gradient winds of 45 to 55 mph will occur outside of showers except greater than 57 mph in southern MD where 50kt have already been reported. The risk of convection will be winding down after 18Z and should be over by 21Z if not sooner.

Potential is definitely starting to show some focus. SPC highlighting Marginal next two days. HRRR going a bit crazy (notoriously).. We will see. Could be an interesting few days nonetheless.

Got some reports around Richmond
