...Temps at IAD look to finish at 88/66 avg for the month, +1.5 AN

Interesting;   DCA seems to have finished below normal at -0.7 

Probably true for both, given the moisture/dryness difference.

Low 55

Very nice

Aug total looks like 4.65". Starting to get dry here despite it all.

Highest temp 89, lowest 56

Managed to pick up 0.04 from miscellaneous sprinkles throughout the day. High of 79f

High of 78f here today. DP down to 60. No complaints.

(Add'l Canaan Valley)

Well I found this from a 1996 FWS report...

"The growing (frost free) season averages about 90 days in length. The 
average date of the last freeze is June 1 and the average date of the first frost 
is August 30. Frost can occur on the Valley floor during any month. On the 
average, one out of six Julys will experience a temperature of freezing or 
below. The growing season is too short for most-crops and is about the same 
as Fairbanks, Alaska."

I think this was written before the VaTech station was installed,  but not sure. It doesn't appear to mention first freeze either.

Low of 55 imby. 52 at Tipton airport a few miles down the road. Low of 32 at Canaan NWR.

WC of 26 at KMWN this morning.

Does that mean First Freeze on Aug 19? Seems early, but I haven't much looked in to it.

Low of 56 here .

0.60" from  a rather mild T- storm 

Hi of 87 today makes this the hottest day of the month so far .

Plenty humid too after 0.05" overnight

People went too high for most summers.  It is a minority of years that hit 100.

"Dream Big" mentality. Compare to entries in our annual snowfall contest.  Even better. 

Part of the fun.

0.28" overnight. 

Still drizzling a bit.

1.98" yesterday plus 1.37" more overnight.  Event total 3.35".

Hi of 79 today under clouds/ovrcst. 

Yet to get above 80 for August. 

0.03" after about 3 hours of dzl. 

Annapolis noon walk.....Surprisingly nice out for Aug 3. Temps 70s, DP 60s, mostly cloudy, pleasant breeze.  

Low of 60f, same as yesterday.

(No smoke)

July total 4.98"

Highest temp 93;  lowest 63

Low of 60/58

Just returned from Davidsonville...Rte 214 (Central Av) is closed. BGE on scene. 

Plenty of tree damage between here and there. Got lucky on our end if the street.

Strong gusts, torrential rain, t&l here in Gambrills, Crofton.

Our strongest T- storm of the season,  but no hail so far. Power still on, but flickering

Finally got the storm 2100, 0.62" rain

No Thursday rain for us either. 

Hi temp 93. I'm predicting the same for today.

That was a good one.  Coldest month at IAD since Feb 1979.

Hard to believe almost. And coldest Feb at BWI since 1934, which was the only Feb colder. (Even 1979)
