Okay, that makes more sense. Thanks

I see on Radarscope that Gray ME official NWS obs of 106? Is that heat index?

DCA has been sitting at 99 for awhile

Back for one more year of disappointment I see https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2026/07/02/alex-ovechkin-return-washington-capitals-contract-one-year-retirement/ https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2026/07/capitals-sign-alex-ovechkin-to-one-year-contract.html#ref=home

I know what @MN Transplant said about the 5 min temps... but 99/74/110 at 1240pm at DCA is atrocious

How did you and @wxmeddler get one going for MD?

DCA reached 90 degrees at 855am... I'm thinking 103 today for a high temperature https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=kdca

In West Virginia, Eastern Grant, Eastern Mineral, Eastern Pendleton, Hampshire, and Hardy Counties. * WHEN...From 11 AM to 8 PM EDT Tuesday. * IMPACTS...Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! In cases of heat stroke, call 9 1 1.

So if we hit it twice, does this mean you will watch it 4 times?

I believe it was @Ian who coined the 90 by 11am (or was it 10am?) for DCA to breach 100 degrees?

Too late

Figured as @CAPE said to make a thread about it since the heat is coming... will it break records? Discuss!

I see Mt. Holly has already issued EHWs... I expect LWX probably will tomorrow

Maybe because its 4th of July weekend and so many people will be out? Go extremely hot and try to get the word out? I mean besides us... I dont think many people are going to care for the difference between 100 and 105.
