Mrs.J Posted Friday at 02:50 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:50 PM So nice to not be up at the crack of dawn for my youngest to ride. She is currently rehabbing her pony as a nice light rain shower is coming down here in Aldie. Birds are singing all over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:53 PM Man I was running 102-105 heat indexes at this time Monday thru Thursday and now it’s 70. Kinda like 63 vs 30 for contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to wonder what's up this year. As to Balto...it's been off for many years, starting when the MD Science Center installed some solar PV panels next to the instrument. Added several degrees to every reading. After a while LWX removed them from their list for a few years. I (for one) will never reference that site again, winter or summer. Maybe someone knows something about PAX. (There's significant knowledge hidden around AmWX; just need some patience usually) The sensor is "in-spec". But it does tend to run 1-2 degrees warmer than it should and about a degree too soft on dewpoints. (This is with me various handhelds against the main ASOS sensor). But it's closer than I initially thought when I started to suspect it was too warm. It was at least 102-103 here on Wednesday. A few factors that helped: Evapotranspiration effects here tend to peter out faster than nearby stations because of lower tree cover and a lot of grass that tends to cure and brown quickly under very hot and dry conditions. That happened in just 3 days here this week. Note that during the peak temp, dewpoints dropped rapidly, indicating drier air from aloft mixing down as sensible heat flux increased relative to latent heat. There was no gradient flow and nearly perfectly barotropic conditions with a lot of subsidence and very strong vertical mixing. This prevented a sea breeze from properly forming on time and heavily stratified the surrounding waters. I was in that water in Pt. Lookout on Monday and the top layer was easily 10F+ warmer than 1-2m down. Lack of any appreciable mixing meant that the skin temp of the water surface was very hot and that helped disrupt/delay a sea breeze circulation in this locale. 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csnavywx Posted Friday at 07:35 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:35 PM Btw, I think the unusual convective behavior last night was in part due to the extreme (and highly stratified) Bay water temps imparting a lot of latent and sensible heat flux to the atmosphere when that back door cold front and aggregate outflow came in to help trigger it after sunset (along with some radiative cooling at the anvil level post sunset). Bay temps at 1.5m were running at 86-90F and probably quite a bit hotter in the top 1-2 ft. Storms did their job last night and temps are back down to 82-83F today. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Friday at 09:45 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:45 PM Very unusual late June day. Overcast and cool with a bit of drizzle, and not a hint of sun breaking through the clouds. The backdoor front is well SW into central to southeast VA and stationary, so we are solidly in a marine airmass with a NE flow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few months have had its share of unusual temps, rainfall and winds. Today almost chilly in the early morning when dog walking, then upon leaving the movies the winds really picked up. Saw the ocean surf temp temp going up today, I imagine from the Eastery winds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillvilleWx Posted yesterday at 12:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:31 AM Amazing day after the run of heat. Got in a long walk and it was stellar. Nice little break before summer comes back in for the weekend and beyond. High only hit 76 today, good for only a 9 degree diurnal!! Rain hit us last night, but we somehow missed the heavier rain as it developed all around us and then weakened as it moved through and out. 0.3” in total. I’ll take it since it came with a nice cool down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrlg1181 Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Share Posted yesterday at 01:40 AM Nice refreshing late June day after the heat this week... NWS is a jinx for us this month, today was the 3rd flood watch to go with yesterday's warning --- for a total of 0.13 on those 4 days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they canceled the flood watch early, a massive almost nonstop lightning display is developing just to my SW ... hopefully these storms can hold together a few more miles to the NE - probably not but it would be nice...

I'm doing some last minute gardening before summer cranks back up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I was out mowing and that storm was pretty far away when a bolt hit right next to my neighbor's home. Wild. I stopped mowing. The storms were even further than when I took this screen grab. Blue sunny sky with storm clouds a bit in the distance. Got my attention!!
