  1. Lol. Pouring here. But more importantly, down to 82.
  2. 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.
  3. 95.4 as the high here. Looks like the airport highs may be 96 DCA, 97 BWI, 98 IAD, which would be identical to yesterday.
  4. 4pm obs. 97 at IAD/BWI. 95/76 at DCA on a river wind.
  5. 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.
  6. We had so many of these kinds of days in 2010-12. Probably as our penance for the 2009-10 winter.
  7. Just got to 90 at home. Looks like the airports are all around 91.
  8. Clipped with 0.11” yesterday. Clouds aren’t a problem this morning. Sterling is being aggressive and going for 100 at DCA.
  9. Hopefully the storms coming that way hold together.
  10. Climo report DCA: 96 BWI: 97 IAD: 98 (tied record)
  11. 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.
  12. So, do we hit 90 today? 83.9
  13. 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.
  14. I'm thinking 96/97 for all three days at DCA. Just a touch under what NWS is going (98/98/98).
  15. The custom map does this well. 4" around Burke indeed. The range across our region is amazing.
  16. There has been a discussion elsewhere about the GFS long range having trouble with surface temps because it is drying out the surface too quickly and the boundary layer schemes are having a hard time as it goes further into the forecast period. I'm skeptical that KC mixes to 600mbs and goes superadiabatic near the surface.
  17. That was a good one. Coldest month at IAD since Feb 1979.
  18. My contest entry depends on DCA underperforming. Feeling pretty good with the IAD drought and the BWI pavement.
  19. Radar estimates look like a nice hit in the dry spots in central MD
  20. 2010-2012 really skewed what the perception of hot is. For example, 100s are really uncommon, and are often clustered. So every year has less than a 20% chance of hitting that mark.
  21. This is where I again complain that we got 8” of snow near the Pentagon and it immediately started melting when the sun came up. That one actually ends up on my dud list. Now Feb 2014 had some rates in the overnight hours.
