It has been a ho hummer heat wave up here at Pen Mar.  96 right now which is the highest of the season.   BUT I have seen 103 in Emmitsburg, 104 in Gettysburg PA and 105 in Lewisberry PA so some low landers, albeit it North of many here, getting a once in a decade or more heat wave today.

100/75 heat index 114 for the third straight day

Not sure if they're going to make it. We have only 2 hours until the climate report comes out at 5pm and they're still fighting some cloud cover. Prove me wrong IAD!

[SnowtoRain]

100 on my pws. Still some time to beat yesterday's 101.7.

101.5 high so far. Unless mby makes another late push, that'll probably be it. Current heat index 115

We never bust on heat. My thermometer says 102. Hot AF!

[MN Transplant]

Just drove up to the Fredrick MD area. Car thermometer noticeably tracked the mesonet, with lower temps in the slightly higher elevations of MoCo, and then back up over 100 going down towards Frederick.

[CAPE]

Briefly got to 99.6 = 100!

Back down to 99.

Brutal out there. HI 112

Nice

[stormy]

24 hrs. ago to this minute, I observed 96.0.    Today at 4 pm, I observe 97. 3

The record at 100 in 1898 is safe. 

[Interstate]

STW???

[weatherCCB]

99/74

98/70 at SHD is pretty brutal for them.

[SnowtoRain]

101.7 for high two days in a row, makes one wonder if it is something to do with mu pws digital thermometer 

[MN Transplant]

Not gonna make it at my house. Too humid.  Pair of 99s.

[pazzo83]

the 110-115 heat index numbers on back to back days is insane.  I don't remember this combo of 100+ and 70-75 dewpoints anytime recently.  The July 2024 extreme heat had dews in the 60s.
