Mrs.J Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 96/81/113 in my backyard. Tired of being cooped up inside. Taking the girls and heading down to the International Spy museum, light dinner and the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary show on the mall tonight.

That 97 was probably a 96 (see link). I don’t think we are going to hit 100 today, but the HRRR does give us a later day high (4-5pm), so there is time. There is a scattered cu field.

Yea it's almost impossible to hit 100+ with sub 30 degree air at 850 and clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to think that the global models had trouble with the pre-existing soil moisture (the euro was awful). The NAM has been pretty good on temps. This was always a borderline case, and the DPs in the mid-upper 70s do not help the cause. Sometimes we can pull off a 2011 where is is super hot and super humid, but that requires an historic airmass which this is not. Still, the Heat Index is no joke.

MN Transplant Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 In case anyone doesn’t have it, here are the 1-minute updates from IAD. Bouncing between 94-97 for a while now. http://www.iadasos.org/2hourpast.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakkelWx Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 97/80 here. Because the dewpoint is so high I doubt it will get hotter than 99 or 100. Still 2-3 more hours of heating to go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Ian brings up the point that the day of the frontal passage can sometimes surprise to the upside. I can imagine the lows tonight will be disgusting. So, if we can avoid too much cloud cover we’ll be tracking tomorrow also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Looks like 97s across the board for highs so far, including my station. See if we can eek out another degree or two. Need a W wind off of Arlington for DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its such a terrible site for official obs though. Wish it was somewhere on the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally like big heat to peak late here it is often cumulative esp at a place like DCA. But tomorrow does seem it should be no worse than today as far as sky cover.. for now. Had a suspicion 100 would be harder to come by than it looked from the data but then saw 24-25C 850s on the Euro yesterday and kinda sorta bit, tho leaned lower than my first range.

Given the set up, I thought it would be a challenge to get readings of 100+ even in the cities. I think I predicted 97-98 for DC-PHI. I always take the under for my location- it is the antithesis of an UHI lol. Behaving exactly as expected in my yard. I will max out at 96 today, maybe. Tomorrow has a shot at being a bit hotter over this way, as I dont think clouds become a factor until late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Temp did briefly hit 96. Back down to 95 now. DP has dropped a bit over the last hour- down to 77 from 79. Breeze has picked up compared to earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I was working over near Federalsburg and it felt hotter over there. It's more of a steam bath here in the woods of AA county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
