Glad the Germantown crew looks like they are in good shape. Heard from my brother west of Frederick that there is some wind damage there. Still waiting to the south to see what pops and where.
Frequency diagram of max yearly temps at DCA. 98 is the most common. 28/82 years (34%) have reached 100 degrees. However, it is streaky with a couple of 7+ year streaks without 100 degrees in the historical record.
I was being facetious, but I am surprised by the difference between my house and the airports. My max is 93.0 today. I’m not usually 5 behind IAD, so that may be the dry soil there helping out.
Euro has corrected down to 96/97. I haven’t been bullish on this heat wave in terms of chances for 100 and I remain that way. It takes a rare airmass for 100.
