GramaxRefugee Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I was just noticing that the record min is (was) 59F. I believe I had 57 this morning. Fall so soon. Christmas day is exactly 5 months off. Edit: looks like BWI hit 57 or lower; per LWX. Nice record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 54F for the low. What a wonderful morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 58 at home this morning - pleasant surprise. Combining that temp with the humidity, it was pretty easy to see your breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Lost in all the severe talk is what appears to be more of an extended cool down for next week. I'm seeing nice weather from Monday night thru the end of the week. Hoping that's the case as I'll be camping at matthews arm on skyline drive next weekend.

snowfan Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You commute from York to Gaithersburg? Wtop runs a contest every year to determine the person with the worst commute. This year, a guy that works at DOJ in downtown DC won. He lives south of Richmond and it takes over 3 hours for home to get to work. Teleworking allows him to only commute twice a week. I work in Suitland and have co workers that live in Warrenton and Charlottesville. The guy that lives in Charlottesville works a 4/10 schedule and teleworks twice a week. There's a van pool that picks up as far west as front royal and as far south as Richmond. Also quite a few that live on the eastern shore. Cost of living near the city has driven folks further and further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 We sure this is July? My forecasted highs beginning Tuesda: 78, 80, 83, 83, 81, 81. Even if those get bumped up a few degrees, its a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Problem is that tomorrow and sat/sun all look to be decent +'s. I think that will clinch it at DCA considering the inability to cash in on the low temps. Temps this weekend hung around average. DCA will have a negative July departure.

AlaskaETC Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The CFSV2 for August is mindboggling. In its opinion, summer is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 last time that happened? 2009. Almost a -3 that year. We actually had negative August last year, so maybe 2010-2012 has really just screwed with all of our perceptions of summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The CFSV2 for August is mindboggling. In its opinion, summer is over. I just checked Accuwx's long term forecast (LOL, I know) and it shows way above normal temps for Aug 4 -12. Disappointing, since yesterday it didn't show a temp above 85F for the rest of the summer.

snowfan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 so like last year, but without the big spread in accums between city/not city? Very doubtful based on climo. Even if it's a good winter, I'd expect a step back with 20-30% less snowfall. I think I ended up with 46.5" last year. With a 30% drop, I'd still be way above climo.

EastCoast NPZ Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 It seems like this month has been pretty nice, but I just checked the #s for the month to date and KOKV is just -0.4 F below for the month (both highs and lows). We need a total -20F departure over the next 4 days to get a -1F for the month. That should be doable. Still, it's seemed like the weather has been nicer than that. Just goes to show how easy it is to get heat here. And we should even end up with more highs in the 70s this month than in the 90s (8). That seems pretty remarkable.... and yet we still will barely finish below normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 MN hit on it earlier....2010-2012 really messed with our heads with regards to 'normal' summer temps.

snowfan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 When's the last time everyone in our area had big surpluses of snowfall in consecutive years? Not saying it can't happen, but it's been awhile.

Accuwx seems to agree w/ him though.... at least through the first half of the month. I assume that long-range forecast is pretty much the long range euro. Again, though, that heat wasn't on their forecast yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
