    Just doing August numbers got me thinking about when @nw baltimore wxasked several years ago how many years I had with no +90 days in August, so I went and pulled it up from the August 2020 thread- "OK, years without a 90 or greater in August...2017, high 89.3 18th. 2014, high 88.2 29th. 2013, high 87.7 10th. 2012, high 89.7 10th. 2008, high 89.5 on 5th and 21st. 1982, high 89 on 4th. and this year, so 7 years total. LOTS of years with only one or two 90+ days including 1984, 1986, 1989, 1992, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2016. Hottest I have recorded is 102 degrees on July 17th 1988 and Aug 1st 1999, 101's on Aug 20 and 21 1983, June 30th and July 9th 2012 and Aug 17 and 18 2007." So, we can add this year with the 87.4 on the 15th, 88.2 for the 22nd in 2023 and 88.9 for the 10th of 2022. That makes 10 years out of 46 now. Weird how majority are after 2008, and they seem 'clustered'.

    Late, but you can thank the power outage for that, was working on this when it hit lol.

    Just got power back from the storm that came thru yesterday around 6 pm. Had some pea to 1/2" sized hail, a 39 mph gust and 0.32" here, but LOTS of damage pics coming in on facebook. Trees down, powerlines down and several roofs and sheds either blown over/off or damaged. Currently have thunder/lightning and light rain from a dying line moving thru from WV, temp 68.8/66.9 at 10:30 am. Looking at Dominion's outage map, still 800+ without power in the county.

    Nothing here last two days but heat and humidity. Two back-to-back 92.0 degree highs, last one ALMOST set a record for date (93 degrees in 2011).

    About a nickel from shower that rolled thru between 4 and 5 pm. Made it humid/muggy x 1000 out there.
  7. wxdude64
    Few sprinkles between 5 and 6 pm here, Clifton Forge just 4 miles to my east got a decent amount.

    Great pic! I'd send one, but it would have just been of the cloud deck and rain. Picked up 1.49" with LOTS of T&L between 10 pm and 1 am. Sitting at 5.28" for the month.

    Funny, but from the 27 minute mark on I never remembered Lurch working for TWC.

    The 1.54" I picked up in last 24 hours was most in a 24 hour period for the year so far. Not a record (1.72 in 1994). Boy has it been muggy/humid these past few days! And the 53 mph gust during the 6 pm-7 pm storm also the highest so far this year.
  11. wxdude64
    The storm that came thru here about 45-50 minutes ago should be knocking on your door any minute.

    Alleghany County VA. Between Covington and Clifton Forge.

    Measured two separate 53 mph gusts with line that just moved thru here, rocking!

    And finally returned around 10:30 this morning. Out 18.5 hours. Had some rain early this morning, more around 11 am then more with thunder started around 1:30 pm and still sprinkling. To the west they've had a MUCH more active day.

    Still out. Least on the outage map it now says, 'crew dispatched', lol. About 14-15 hours now.
