Me, I badly wanted the shear from the Pacific storm to tear it apart and keep it from getting to TD status. I wanted a whole year without a hurricane, especially without one that hit land.

Yeah, weren't there supposed to be highs in the upper fifties and low sixties this week?

Dewpoint over 60. Blah.

Feels downright pleasant on the riverfront next to Nationals Stadium.

We had an inch of snow on October 10, 1979. December was warm, but there were some okay snowfalls the rest of the winter. March 1 had eight inches and IAD's high was 17!!

11 out of 10 today!! Feels like a winter day in Phoenix.

Maybe we can hit 90 on Halloween.

I was hoping that the rain would miss us, as some of the models were showing, and that we could get a week or two of sunny mid-seventies with 45-degree dews to get us on a good start with fall.

I thought we were going to get dewpoints in the 50s by late afternoon - now it's onlyy for two or three hours in the overnight then it's right back up to tropical levels?? And day after day of miserable rain and increasing damp chill next week?? I HATE this frigging climate!!

I swear, next year we're getting 80-degree lows in September, and probably DCA's average low will exceed 70.

Unexpected lines of showers passing through Metro DC.

Maybe it's because somebody's prayer was answered. Heh.

And it just keeps getting muggier and muggier. IAD's dewpoint, 66 for most of the morning, is now a disgusting 72, with only occasional furtive glimpses of sunshine.

And, memorably, in January 1998. Weirdest, most unpleasant January day ever. It felt kind of like this morning does: gloomy, stifling and overcast.

MORE damned heat and 75 dews next week?! Are you kidding me?! FFS.
