    2004 also, going back a bit further.

    That trio of summers were disgusting. The persistence of 2010, the humidity of 2011, and the big heat days of 2012. 2016 was plenty bad though. Average summer temp was higher than 2012 and it also featured 100 degree days.

    Happy Derecho Day! I’ll take this opportunity for the millionth time to mention that I missed it and hate you all.

    That’s my neighborhood. I will never let my brother forget that he dragged me out of town for his wedding and made me miss one of the great weather events. Had to patch a baseball sized hole in my roof from a branch when I got back. That said, there was more destruction as far as houses hit by trees in last August’s microburst close to me.

    I assume Burke Lake Rd is still underwater

    Nice stripe through Arlington where that band set up. 2.12” of very welcome rain here.

    Just west of the main band this evening, but did ok earlier today. 0.72”

    It looks like the inverse of the Lee remnants from 2011 (obligatory @mattie gtag)

    Woof

    Snuck in a 92 at DCA before the rain

    NWerly component to the wind at IAD, but DCA looks like it is in the process of flipping.

    We are going to miss these HRRR vs NAM battles when they unify them in the future. I’m on team HRRR today.

    I know expectations have shifted, but we are above normal at all three airports for June and just came off of a tie for the highest temperature at DCA since 2016.

    Such an odd setup with the easterly flow off the Atlantic ruining the I95 chances.

    At the risk of enduring the wrath of the mid-Atlantic crew, my yard really dried out over the past week. Doesn’t ever seem to matter how wet it was early, once it dries out it is really noticeable. 1.41” in June.

    Since DCA moved to the current location, they are averaging about one 100-degree day per year. However, since 100-degree days are clustered, over the period of record, only about 1/3 of years have had a 100-degree day. This has held over the past two decades, with 7 years of 21 reaching 100 degrees. It has not hit 100 at DCA since August 2016.

    This is an oddball stat, but I looked it up because the difference between Friday (high 99) and Saturday (high 79) was so stark. At DCA (since 1941), there have only been 9 summer days with temperature drops of more than 20 degrees between consecutive days. Several of those included precip, which means that there have only been a handful of periods similar to what we just encountered.

    I know it isn’t pool weather, but considering temperature, time of year, lack of bugs (early season plus wind), full vegetation, it really is an all-time type of day out there. Just awesome to sit in the backyard.

    I’m guessing there aren’t many midnight highs in the 2nd half of June. Pretty good chance tomorrow.

    The big problem here is that we have a ton of densely-treed neighborhoods. It doesn't even take a severe-level storm to cause damage, especially to old and dying trees. So, we may scoff at some of the warnings, but I bet a lot of them are verifying via damage reports.

    The reason I mentioned the records this morning was that the conditions were perfect to overperform, especially at DCA. Dry, mid-day frontal passage with downslope winds? Torch.
  24. MN Transplant
    New record high at DCA. At least 98. Winds are really kicking up.

    My kid is at tennis/swim camp at the local pool. We packed a lot of ice with her today. Hopefully the extend the pool time. Per IADASOS, Dulles is already to 93, breaking the daily record before noon.
