SPC is a little out of touch.. too much model riding and not enough outside observations. I didn't even realize that we are under a MRGL risk for severe storms today.

DCA has joined the other airports at hitting at least 96.  It'll be interesting to see if any of those cells can make it east.  The leading showers are dying after they get to about IAD.

Records?

Never mind. I looked and yes for at least Dulles.

LWX seems to think it has a shot. Wouldn’t mind if it canceled the Nats game I’m “trying” to go to tonight.

We seem to have won the Hot Spot Award for this afternoon. Only El Paso    SW TX can equal us. (That's 4:00 pm...got cropped out)

Betting we get storms that pop up in the inner burbs once the gust front hits the bay/river breeze boundary. The gust front came through a bit ago and dropped temps nearly 15 degrees so it’s legit. Now about to get some rain hopefully.

Well I'll be damn. It's raining! I've got some dark clouds and rain showers moving through my area of the lowlands.

0.04” is better than nothing, but not by much

0.06" . Umbrella dog walk, but cooled to 76f now.

Spicy, but tolerable heat wave. Been getting periodic, strategic hoops seshes in the last couple days and just got a bike ride in. I’ll take this over 55 and stratus. Not thrilled about the upcoming forecast from a late May and weekend point of view, but we need the rain.

[pazzo83]

DCA broke a record with 97.

Say Whaaah!?!?

97 imby for my high temp in Columbia today. Morning low 70.0° — so this was first morning temp not falling below 70. 
 

— not to mention, no storms or damaging winds.  ….

Which one of you ordered up a shitty holiday weekend forecast? 

[Jebman]

WOW you guys hit 97 degrees in Dale City today? Man that's a lot hotter than us in TX!

It honestly didn’t feel that bad. Surprised it got that high. 

[WEATHER53]

So 95-98 MTW to maybe 58-65 Friday?

[Jebman]

Models are printing out maybe 4-7 inches by next Tuesday in Buda. Meanwhile the yellow and red rain returns just keep right on backbuilding over and over and we are absolutely LOVIN the rain! Over an inch, up to 16.1 on the year, this is very good for our part of Texas in mid May.

[Weather Will]

WB 9Z NBM for today.

[wxdude64]

First +90 temp of the year at 90.2 degrees for a high, not a record (95 in 1996), low and current 58.7 degrees.

I'm at the hospital with my mom in the Detroit area (Novi).  Was here yesterday and a crazy intense storm blew through. It was like derecho winds. You know those large public trash bins that are made of cement and this pea gravel looking stuff always in public locations?  I was watching out the window of her room during the storm and the wind blew one of them right over!  They must weigh several hundred pounds.  Was about 90F here yesterday.  53F today when I got to the hospital this morning, much colder.
