I know what that means. #stormseasonfail I would post this over in banter but I figure one post that's OT won't harm the obs thread if we are only tracking heat for now - Have been helping the girlfriend move down from PA to her new apartment in DC (she's going to AU in the fall for graduate program!). I've been lurking when I can, though. I like that the GFS has something out in fantasy land for the tropical tracking contingent. Now it's not just my lovely CFS - still...it's so far out...but at least it starts to form off Africa sub 200 hours haha. I Just need something other than dewpoints and heat to track.

Now, we are looking at mid 90s tomorrow and near (at least) 90F through the weekend. I'll believe it'll cool off when it actually does so. Currently 90 / 77.

It's going to be a warm week for sure but the blasting sauna will abate later this week. I can't wait for next week. 12z GFS has the front clearing early Monday with stiff NW breezes and nice dry continental air filtering during the afternoon/eve. You're prob going have some lows in the 50's wed/thurs mornings. Check out these dews on tues: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 it's another hot one today, but yet i'd still take this over 45 degrees, breezy, and 2-3 layers of clothes. upper 90s are the temps where i say to myself, i'd rather it be 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 95.6. Bit cooler than the last couple of days, sad to say. DCA was 95 through the 2pm ob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailylurker Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Radar pretty lit up over the mountains. Hopefully we can get some of that stuff in the metro area later this evening. Not as bad out there. Seems like a typical summer day. Temp 92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp 92 That activity is terrain induced and has a nice 35 kt jet core right over it. We're on the outside looking in right now for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Capacitor went up on the AC yesterday evening. Repairman said he's replaced almost 30 since Thursday. The heat has been relentless. I was camping at cunningham falls this past weekend. It was fine at night with the breeze, but afternoons were low 90s in the shade. Not exactly ideal camping weather. The big storm saturday night blew through just to the NW if the campground, but drenched us enough to cool things back to the 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.J Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Well did not time picking my daughter up right. Glad my car has AWD and traction control. Rain was blowing horizontal and the Lightning was all over the place. Back side coming through now currently 1.60" just out of that one storm. Knocked out internet also.
