    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.

    I'm so done with this unending humidity and daily storm chances (which means I have to carry my umbrella every damn day even though Ffx misses the storms 95% of the time) that I'm seriously considering renting an AirBnb in Boise for all of next summer.

    Yet another exceptionally unpleasant, sunless, stiflingly muggy morning. I can't WAIT for real fall.
  11. kgottwald
    The reality split the difference: sprinkles, not enough to need the umbrella, but just enough to keep me from reading while walking.

    As long as we don't get another September 1881 - which, if it happened nowadays, would probably produce a DCA monthly average of 93 / 76.

    That exact same paragraph is carried over to this morning's AFD. "Latest guidance"? NWS and CWG disagree on storm chances today: NWS has a 40% pop for central Fairfax, CWG downplays it: "Can't rule out an isolated evening storm, especially north and northwest of the Beltway." Decided to live dangerously and leave the umbrella at home; let's see how that works out.

    ... and back to the 70 DPs. Every time we get a couple of dry days and I start to think we've turned the corner, the mugginess comes back.

    Lightning and thunder last night 9:30 - 10 but zero rain.

    Miserable humidity is back. 81/72 at IAD. The past few days with pleasant dewpoints I wasn't bitten by a single mosquito, now with the nastiness back I'm just getting eaten up by them. Does humidity really make a difference in skeeter activity?
  17. kgottwald
    Wonder if we can eke out a year without a single Atlantic hurricane! That'd be pretty exciting.
  18. kgottwald
    I bet tomorrow will be yet another almost 100% cloudy, ridiculously muggy day.
  19. kgottwald
    2019 was at least dry until mid-October, which helped lower the humidity. September 2018 had multiple days of monsoon rains, amounting to almost 10 inches, and only 14 days with no precip.
  20. kgottwald
    I really hope they're wrong on this. September-October 2018 was just horrible. If I wanted Florida weather I'd move there.
  21. kgottwald
    I'm all for a repeat of the August autumn of 1986. Sick and tired of the endless humidity.
  22. kgottwald
    The past couple of days, the dewpoints have been falling to the mid-60s at night and rising to 70 during the day, the reverse of the normal pattern. Getting tired of seeing 70 DPs every single day.
  23. kgottwald
    NWS screwed the pooch yesterday morning by putting zero pops for Fairfax County in the 4 a.m. forecast. I'm sure I'm not the only one who trusted them and left my umbrella home!
  24. kgottwald
    It wasn't supposed to rain today, so I left my umbrella at home. Of course it started raining the minute the bus reached the Vienna station. Nice work, NWS. Bravo.
  25. kgottwald
    When the dewpoint reaches 75 that's the point I wish I could just teleport home, and not have to sweat through all my clothes.
