Not much more than sprinkles

Yeah, today killed me. Thanks for doing the contest.

No lightning strikes particularly closeby, but it is rumbling out there. Outflow has us down to 86.7.

Nothing but some clouds and American air superiority in my backyard

I haven’t hit 100 either. Rounded, I’ll go 99, 99, 98 for the heat wave. My station struggles when it is humid. 2024 in the dry heat I had several 100s.

IAD sitting at 99. Still a chance.

The USAF group has been circling south of town waiting their turn. That should be fun.

I’m going to get a free air show from my backyard today as they line up to go over the length of the Mall.

Funny enough, that's exactly what the HRRR is showing.

Hopefully the gif works. Fun representation of the temps with the impact of the convection later today from the RRFS.

Temps running about 1-2 degrees lower than yesterday through 9am.

Another 84 for a morning low at DCA, but whether this one holds through the day is more questionable than yesterday.

I’d be more tolerant of opposing opinions if the question was “what should we do about it?” There are serious policy questions about the impacts on society (including costs) of transitioning to low-carbon energy. If the debate was cost vs benefit, that is an extremely healthy and useful discussion.

Stop the count! Seriously, though, I’m going to rack up some departures today since I went too cool so it is still wide open.

“The preferred narrative”. Dude, stop.

Not gonna make it at my house. Too humid. Pair of 99s.

Just drove up to the Fredrick MD area. Car thermometer noticeably tracked the mesonet, with lower temps in the slightly higher elevations of MoCo, and then back up over 100 going down towards Frederick.

Noon obs: DCA: 97 BWI: 97 (has been to 98) IAD: 93

95.4 so far at home. The flyovers have begun and apparently I’m on the flight path!

84 at DCA! All-time record tied. IAD falls one short at 78.

We'll see in 15 minutes or so whether some all-time records have been tied. ================================================================== *** ALL-TIME RECORD WARM LOWS *** ================================================================== Baltimore 83 (set on Aug 05, 1930 + 2 other times) Washington 84 (set on Jul 24, 2011 + 2 other times) Sterling-Dulles Airport 79 (set on Aug 08, 2007) Baltimore Downtown 88 (set on Jul 22, 2011 and Jul 10, 1993) Annapolis 92 (set on Jul 07, 1994) Hagerstown 86 (set on Jun 15, 1899) Martinsburg 86 (set on Jul 21, 1930) Charlottesville 85 (set on Aug 07, 1918)

3rd highest 850mb sounding temp on record is extremely impressive.

Feels like a night where we put up 82 for a low at DCA
