Big Heat Week into July 4th Weekend

[nj2va]

A low of 65 here felt like fall at this point. 83 low at home. Already up to 96 there.

94 at 10am at DCA - but dews are back into the 60s, so it actually doesn't feel as horrible.

Looks like a decent chance they hit 100° for a third day in a row. Legit heat.

Temperatures were in the low/mid 80s for my pre-dawn run this morning. Way too warm. Was probably lot too far away from heat exhaustion at one point. Hydrate!

IAD currently at 92/72.

Just finished biking and working in the garden. Already 97 at bwi. Ffffffff.

[Eskimo Joe]

Another day working outside. Definitely more tolerable than the past two days bit no breeze whatsoever.

[Terpeast]

98 already at 11 am, running ahead of yesterday. Some high clouds out to the west and SW, which may cut heating short early if that gets here. Dews a bit lower than yesterday.

That would be four 100-plus so far with a long way to go.  Wonder what the most in one summer was?

Great Falls 4th of July parade was hot but fun as always. Glad they didn’t cancel for the heat!

[Eskimo Joe]

Several mesonet sites in the eastern shore and southern MD are running ahead of yesterday.

Models seem to offer hope for major mid and late July cooldown

Did that here earlier, but luckily it was a quick blip. Had to reset all the clocks etc which is annoying. Hopefully it isnt out for long there.

No it’s still out and Potomac Edison’s automated line says it will be out until 3:30.

3 days in a row... impressive

Agreed. I was very skeptical of the Euro and GFS going for three days in the 100s. We've seen that fantasy mid range heat vanish before. Not this time!

[Terpeast]

Just hit 100 again, 4 days in a row imby. Ashburn

[87storms]

Think Vegas is gonna outdo DC temps today…starting to get spicy again. Hopefully you all get some storms out of the heat wave, at least. Glad I moved my balcony furniture in…not doing so my last trip was not ideal.

Pretty crazy how consistent it was so far out. And for it to verify also.

There's a squirrel imby chilling on the ground, in the shade, sort of like a dog does in the heat. Bit of an odd sight. Must not care about being eaten by a fox atm, the ground coolness is all.  This must be getting a bit tough for some of the fur bearing wildlife. Reminds me to keep birdbaths full.

97/82

We call it flattening when they do that.  Guessing it lets them cool off.   We usually go through 100 peanuts a day and they are not eating much right now.   I also saw some chickens panting which is not a common sight. 

Thanks for the term. I had never seen, or noticed, one in that posture but guessed why. I have more water out now. Hot enough in Pen Mar for panting chickens, ugh!

Low 80, currently 94/76
