  1. This last hot stretch is clinching a very slightly above normal August and summer. A lack of big heat is the saving grace.
  2. Curious to see whether this works. From the Arlington tornado day last year (7-1-21). Video to Time Lapse to gif.
  3. The last couple of runs of the GFS are aggressive with the wave coming up on the Windwards.
  4. Amazing how things get crispy very quickly. Less than an inch of precip over the last two weeks and the lawn completely gave up.
  5. Addendum to the school discussion
  6. Eastern DC getting smacked around again. Amazing.
  7. Any day that stays in the 70s in August is a big win in my book
  8. Still too warm in the direct sunlight, but so much nicer than it has been. 81
  9. Hostas are deer food only, and you can't convince me otherwise. Plenty of tomatoes, but they are sure slow to ripen. Our fig tree is finally grown enough to really start producing.
  10. I think that is MRMS data that LWX plots, but don’t hold me to that. https://mrms.nssl.noaa.gov https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=318de5dd4d784f72bb96ad2cfddce041 I will say that there is a big fat 1.49” over my house and I got 0.51”, so there are still resolution struggles. I really just prefer CoCoRaHS. https://maps.cocorahs.org
  11. Today is going to end up within a degree of average at DCA. I want it cooler.
  12. SPC talked this morning about how the second round had more upper air support, but the first round would stabilize us. I sure don’t remember many cases where a new round of convection ran into a trailing stratiform region.
  13. We haven’t had a lot of trailing stratoform regions this year.
  14. I’m not desperate for rain, but 0.30” from this radar 40 minutes ago feels like a minor letdown.
  15. I think it is mainly going to follow the outflow boundary and weak westerly winds.
  16. The outflow boundary from the western storms an hour ago is moving through and enhancing everything else. Pretty cool to watch.
  17. Really booming out there. The jump in lightning on the FFX cell was impressive.
  18. Very quick 1-1.5” by Fair Oaks
  19. Severe warning for much of Fairfax Co. Transient downbursts. Starting to rain here. Not sure about the concrete trucks continuing to go to the new infill development around the corner.
  20. Getting close, but you can’t ever trust these pulsing August storms to hold together from one mile to the next.
