  1. I knew it was warm, but I had no idea we were top-3.
  2. I love how we can put up a nearly all-time warmest month and barely notice it at this point.
  3. There is, or used to be, a network of small x-band radars on the west side run by UPR-Mayaguez.
  4. Per LWX, this was the rainiest July on record at IAD.
  5. DCA 73 vs the record of 64. I think Ian on twitter noted the other day that 64 was tied for the lowest individual daily high temp on record at DCA. Now Dec 17th stands alone.
  6. IAD's 4.4" was in 1980-81. They messed up the dates on the LWX site. 5.9" in 97/98 is correct.
  7. Really impressive/depressing. Thanks for crunching the numbers.
  8. IAD got it. DCA missed on a weird day where the high was before noon.
  9. IAD with the hottest August on record by a decent margin. 3rd hottest summer behind 2010 and 2011.
  10. RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BALTIMORE MD/WASHINGTON DC 0122 AM EDT TUE AUG 16 2016 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL SET AT WASHINGTON NATIONAL DC... A RECORD RAINFALL OF 1.16 INCHES WAS SET AT WASHINGTON NATIONAL DC YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1.15 SET IN 1941.
  11. No. Mar 2012 was a historic monster. Mar 2010, maybe.
  12. I think the totals in DC itself lean towards 2010. The reservoir was higher as was the spotter in Anacostia. No reports from near AU, but they were 25" and 27" in 2010, and I really doubt they were that high this time.
  13. I lean '10 over '16. The totals were basically equivalent, but the heavy snow and impact of 2010 outweigh the 2016 duration and wind for me.
  14. Nice. Wonder where we are on standard deviation. Dec is a monthly with a higher variation, but it is possible that this is still the most anomalous + month in DC history.
  15. 64 at DCA currently. Looking good to break the all time December min record tomorrow.
  16. Super quick look at the records finds 75/60 on Jan 13, 1932 (+32 vs current norms, would be higher against the old numbers).
  17. I think I have Jan 1950 as the most anomalously positive month on record at DCA. +12.0 from the current norms. This could be a solid #2.
  18. Probably about the same way we handle the fact that some of the old observations were taken multiple stories up in a building in a completely different part of town. Ignore it.
  19. Doesn't go out past 7pm, but this is a straight up obliteration from the NAM.
  20. The highest minimum for any day in Dec at DCA is 59° on 12/5/1973. That record is in big trouble.
  21. That would qualify as an obliteration. I wonder what the biggest gap between 1 and 2 is for any of the months.
