The DC swamp ends it's influence at the Triangle I guess.

Yeah, it's really strange, because you would expect downsloping to produce lower DPs in the western Piedmont not higher

This may well be the hottest day of the heat wave by heat index, Dewpoints holding in the low 70s and heat index climbing into the mid 90s

Philly seems to be ground zero. Tommorow 104 with Dewpoints in the high 60s/low 70s, heat index near 115

In some ways the NE does heat better than us. Greensboro has reached 100 only in 5 of the last 50 summers (12 days total). Boston has hit 100 in 9 of those years (9 days total)

Yes, definitely accurate for that particular strip of concrete

I've noticed RAH does a poor job of picking up on the warm bias the GFS and Euro have. Always seem to be a few degrees warm

Maybe they went after Americanwx too

Looks like Top ten. Here's the data https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundingclimov2/

Yeah it seemed to be working somewhat better before mid-morning but now it's as bad as ever

Temps busting big time for those near/under the slow moving showers

This is why the drought monitor did not show improvement. There were some improvement to short term drought (shallow soil moisture, levels of small creeks etc.), but long term drought has no meaningful dent made and the heat/moderate humidity will only worsen water levels over at least the next couple weeks

More of a (relatively) dry heat/strong cap to prevent convective complexes.

Not cool. Not cool at all.
