Bob Chill Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Damn, 0z gfs advertising some nice weather for an extended period. IF it verifies we can say good bye to humidity for a while and finally enjory some at or slightly below temps and relatively cool night. I love the transition to cooler and dryer airmasses. It reeks of football season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Potomac water temp measurements going away As of October 1, 2012, data collection of the water-quality parameters (temperature and Specific conductance) at this streamgage will be discontinued due to funding reductions from partner agencies. Although historic data will remain accessible, no new data will be collected unless one or more new funding partners are found. In case anyone is wondering why DCA is only dropping to 77/78 at night: 2012 2011 for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Can't believe I'm saying this in early August - the NAM digs the 500 low a lot further south than the GFS/Euro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellinwood Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Can't believe I'm saying this in early August - the NAM digs the 500 low a lot further south than the GFS/Euro. It's also slower Great to have if you want nighttime snow in the winter... not so great when you want daytime severe. Not worried since its hr84 but it's not a great sign.

Not worried since its hr84 but it's not a great sign. i wonder if we'll just end up with a hvy rain/flash flooding (at least isolated to scattered) type deal. of course it is the nam at 84...

The Dude Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 No, that would be further south and the storms went north of OC. The area pictured though I doubt may be Ocean City if it was would be north of the boardwalk past 100th as thats where the open space would be pictured. That would be the only way, and there were a few strikes noticeable yesterday away from some of the storms, so it is possible. I'd think more of a Delaware beach would receive something like this as they were in the center of storms. I'm at 100th, and there were no stray strikes anywhere nearby. Plus, there's no open space past 100th. You have to get up to the Delaware state park in Fenwick Island before you find any open spot like that. Maybe the shot was from Ocean City, NJ?

MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 GFS is south of 00z and slower. Not quite NAMish, but noticeable. Closed 500 low Detroit/Toledo 12z Saturday morning. Euro same location as GFS, but deeper. edit - 500mb only. Surface front is through Saturday morning, whereas it holds back on the GFS until later.

Ian Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 The Euro looks pretty good to me for Friday. Not much reason to get too excited yet but the tornado risk lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Another 90+ Should be able to rack up another 95 on Thurs. Whether we are able to tie the record on Fri will probably have to do with cloudcover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we are able to tie the record on Fri will probably have to do with cloudcover. im starting to wonder if we're done after this week with any high heat chances.. i'd have to lean toward us getting one more shot even into sept but records cluster so maybe not. little shower right over dca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
