PrinceFrederickWx Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Forecast the hottest temperature that will be recorded at the four airports (BWI, DCA, IAD, RIC) at any time between the start of met summer (June 1) and the end of astronomical summer (September 23). For the tiebreaker, choose only one of the following three locations: Charlottesville (CHO), Salisbury (SBY), or Hagerstown (HGR). As of right now, this will be a one-time contest, but if it goes over well I may make this an annual summer event. Thanks to @Roger Smith for the idea! Winner will be the person with the lowest absolute value departure and will be announced on September 24 (or sometime around then). Good luck! I'll start this off with mine: BWI: 102 DCA: 100 IAD: 99 RIC: 101 Tiebreaker HGR: 98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Ah good to see this is happening. I foresee a very hot summer developing and perhaps some near-record temperatures.

yoda Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Interesting that both WxUSAF and Eskimo Joe are going right around 100 for the highest temperatures of the summer... along with Stormpc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCountry Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I too think it will be a hot one this summer (I hate it being hot, by the way). My guess... BWI: 104 DCA: 105 IAD: 102 RIC: 102 CHO: 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 BWI: 97F DCA: 98F IAD: 96F RIC: 100F OKV: 97F My guess is that high humidity is a greater threat this year than are record temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Smith Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Just for interest, these are the all-time record highs at the four main airport locations (or nearby for older records): BWI _ 107 on July 10, 1936 DCA _ 106 on July 20, 1930 and Aug 6, 1918 IAD _ 105 on July 22, 2011 (shorter period of record does not overlap the dates above) RIC _ 107 on Aug 6, 1918 (Interesting that Toronto has the same dates for its July and August records, 105 on 8th to 10th July 1936 and 102 on 7th of Aug 1918 ... the records shown above were almost matched on August 7, 1918). (and yes I think my forecast of very hot summer temperatures will extend as far north as NYC including PA -- I will edit my numbers down by 1 deg after seeing these stats).

showmethesnow Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Thought I would be the first to get my snowfall predictions up for this summer.
