That is a very impressive lightning display.

1.79" since the deluge on 7/8. 50% of climo rainfall during the hottest part of the year is going to fry stuff no matter what happened before that.

It should.

Last 30 days. Haves and have nots.

How exactly is NOAA going to include the university research community in their model development plans? Is there really a way forward for the NOAA labs and non-NOAA participants to work together on a system that is capable of operations and research. /I’m not Cliff Mass, I swear

Did ok at 0.64”. Poor Mattie.

That cell in Arlington is about to go boom.

Free water from the sky is awesome. Down about 20 degrees, too.

You must be borderline warned. That boundary is doing work. Didn't need much of a trigger today.

93 at DCA. 94 here. Waiting on a build south.

Had to bail from the pool because of the thunder. Didn't rain a drop.

1.18” since the deluge on July 8th.

Have a 5pm departure from DCA today. Hope they keep us in the terminal rather than have us sit on the tarmac.

All stats for DCA Temperatures: 5th warmest April (2010) 2nd warmest Spring (2010) Warmest and 3rd warmest June (2010 & 2011) Warmest month and warmest July (2011), 2nd warmest July and 2nd warmest month (2012), 3rd warmest July and T-3nd warmest month (2010) Warmest and second warmest Summer (2010 & 2011) 4th warmest September (2010) 4th warmest Autumn (2010) 3rd warmest Winter (2011-12) 4th warmest Year (2011) T-5th warmest Year (2010) Warmest March (2012) Warmest Jan-Mar (2012) Warmest Jan-Jun (2012) Snow: Snowiest December (2009) 2nd snowiest Month and 2nd snowiest February (2010) Snowiest Winter (2009-10) 3rd least snowy Winter (2011-12) Precipitation: Driest February (2009) 5th driest July (2009) 5th wettest Sept (2011) 2nd wettest Dec (2009)

BWI was 98 which ties the record high 3rd hottest day of the summer at BWI and IAD.

97. Higher than most of the days in the heat wave a week+ ago.

93 at home and at IAD. DCA lagging again.

DP in the 60s is a heck of a lot better than the mid 70s. Mid 90s is still hot, though.

Ob: hot 94 for a high. Looks like 96 BWI, 94 IAD, and DCA brings up the rear again with 93.

I was going to go with 16-day FV3 model output, but yours is probably more accurate.

Zoysia is fantastic in the summer, but it goes dormant (brown) in the winter and takes quite a while to green up in the Spring. If you are ok with that, it is great for full sun areas. And it is so nice and lush.

18 didn't act like a nino, 19 is so far. That's what I get out of only the post you are quoting. The "less convection" in the Atlantic goes along with the traditional view of El Nino = less hurricanes.
