99 at DCA?? O U C H and 97 at RIC and IAD! While I'm complaining about the 88 here!

Tied the record low for the date at 45.0 with 1982's and 1997's reading.

Well, broke two records again today. New record 'cool max' of 72.5 degrees, JUST beating 1994's 73 degree reading. Low was 44.1 degrees, that shattered 1982's 49 degree reading. Currently clear and 45.3/44.2. Records back to Oct 1979.

Looks like Canaan hit just above freezing around 2 am.

I am wood cutting today (as I did yesterday playing clean up from downed trees over past month or so), but likely will aerate and then reseed tomorrow or Friday morning. It is time. Glorious days are forecasted next few!

Managed to set two records! The 68.2 is a new daily 'cool max', beating 1986 and 2000's 74 mark. The 45.0 overnight tied 1981 and 1998's 45 degree reading. Currently 45.5/44.5 and we have fog. Records back to Oct 1979.

54.2/45.4 at 10 pm here

Down to 66.4/47.3 at 5:30 after a 68.2 high, absolutely awesome!! Been a partly to mostly cloudy day with a nice NW breeze. Gonna be a new record 'low high', beating the 74 degree reading from 1986 and 2000.

54.5/52.3 at 7:30 am, after a 54.2 low. Awesome. Can't wait for tomorrow, 47 is forecasted to be the low.

63.8/56.9 at 10 pm on the 19th of August? I'll take.

Currently raining and 73.7/69.8. High was 77.1 about an hour ago when a bit of sun broke thru the clouds.

55.6 here this morning with some fog, glanced at Canaan, amazing. They almost made it to freezing lol. Beautiful day yesterday with the cool temps and mix of clouds and sun.

The 3.77 inches measured at 7 am reading sets a new daily rainfall here, shattering the old mark of 1.01 inches from 1991. It poured from 7 pm 'til about 2-3 am.

Raining here, had a thunderclap or two to go with it, backing in from the ENE.... NWS Blacksburg has already issued river flood warnings for rivers around and southeast of Roanoke for Thursday and Friday from Debby.

Second round of thundershowers just moved through. About .3 in gauge. Thin lines, downpours for 3-5 minutes and done.

My numbers for the month of July 2024. Averaged high temp was 85.9 degrees vs a normal of 83.9 degrees, a +2.0 above average. The warmest day was the 17th with a 95.2 degree reading. Averaged low temp was 63.2 degrees vs a normal of 62.8 degrees, a +0.4 degrees above average. The coolest temp for the month was 51.3 degrees on the 2nd. Overall averaged temp was 74.6 degrees vs a normal of 73.4 degrees, a +1.2 degrees above average. Rainfall for the month was 6.42 inches vs a normal of 4.01 inches, a +2.41 inches above average and the 2nd wettest July on record beating 1980's and 2015's 6.29 inches, but falling short of 2013's 7.56 inches. Highest daily rainfall was 2.32 inches on the 27th. There were 17 days with measurable, 0 days with a 'T' and 14 dry days. Highest wind recorded was 31 mph on the 31st. Only 5 days had winds in excess of 25 mph. One new record for the month, the 2.32 inches on the 27th set a new daily rainfall. A strange month, went into July very dry and stayed that way until mid-month, then the gates opened, and we had measurable on every day except one though the end of month, several days with 1+ inches. Started cool, then got excessively hot for 3-4 days mid-month, then back to average to slightly below to finish. Records date back to October 1979.

DCA: +2.2 NYC: +2.1 BOS: +1.8 ORD: +0.6 ATL: +0.3 IAH: +0.2 DEN: -0.5 PHX: +0.6 SEA: +1.8

LOL, I'm HOPING this is an issue with their system, take a look at the heat index of 264/264!! CabinMtn2-CVNWR/Dolly Sods

86.3/70.0, that's only a heat index of 91, but boy is it MISERABLE out there now.

Nice boomer just rolled thru here. About .3 in gauge and a 31 mph gust. 70.7/69.8

Nothing ATM, looks like 0.10-.015 in the gauge from earlier today. May hit 8 inches for the month with one more shower before Wednesday. Amazing considering was at 0.47 on the 13th.

Shattered the daily rainfall record, 2.32 inches fell in about 2 hours last night as storm basically parked overtop us! Old mark was 1.31 inches in 2022. Almost 6 inches now for month, after being bone dry in the middle. Any ditches or small tributaries that had anything left in them after the 24's gullywasher should be sparkling clean now. Currently dense fog and 62.4/61.6.

And it picked back up. Going with 0.90 (best I can get reading from the window with flashlight) in 18 minutes! Still raining moderately ATM.

Question- wouldn't Sheldon and Amy been a better pick with all the flags for the opening ceremony??

LOL, it has eased off, looks like .40 in about 7 or 8 minutes.
