This outlook of 30 or less 90 and not more than 6 consecutive 90+ turned out excellent. In addition no late August heat occurred either
will have the winter outlook in about three weeks
Just going to play a little bit so going to guess how the temps will drop off tonight in the low dews and nw breezes.
im 82 right now so predict
9pm-71
10:30-66
12 midnight -63
Overnight low -56
More than one trying to bring high heat for last 1/3 of August but that generally only happens in summers that have already featured impressive heat streaks and very hot temps
That's not this year.
Honestly I doubt it. Just hasn’t been in the cards. 1953 has shown up a lot though but by end of August we are two months past peak sun and 100+ is rare
So this outlook is looking good with 19 90’s so far snd five consecutive days the max
i also think it’s 60% probable we have recorded our highest values except for Richmond
Maximum in the direct sun heat index the second highest since 2016 peaking at 120.
That day in either 2011 or 12 that we hit 105 I set my record of 132.
Southerly breezes up the Potomac won’t bring 101 to DC
Clouds hanging around unexpectedly also .
Tomorrow winds solid westerly component and more sun, area highs 97-100
