Big Heat (and storms?) Week into July 4th Weekend

[Eskimo Joe]

Hit 99.4° on my cooperative weather site (RSMT2). Was making a legit run for 100° then we fell back on the lone cloud that popped in the area.

[George BM]

IAD at 99/73.

[AnEndlessMaze]

Power’s back on finally. We were all hanging out in the basement. First floor was 85 degrees and upstairs 87 lol

[Eskimo Joe]

Frostburg mesonet site just guest to 39 mph from a glancing blow on that convection running up into PA.

[Eskimo Joe]

Looks like DCA hit 101°?

[CAPE]

All groundcover vegetation is fried here. Even the clover couldn't take it. Weeds ofc flourish. Need to max out the next few days with multiple chances for showers/storms as the pattern shifts. Not confident based on every month being below/much below avg here since Feb.

[Eskimo Joe]

Multiple mesonet sites now reaching 100° in PG, Calvert, Charles, Dorchester counties.

I went to Shrewsbury yesterday to get the good fireworks. Along 83 the unmowed grass on the side of the road looked almost like wheat in some spots.

Hard to be 100% sure with all the ground clutter on radar, but looks like there’s a bay breeze boundary in southern AA and Calvert counties.

Towson and Baltimore City mesonet site have a NW wind, Martin Airport and Naval Academy has S or SE winds. There's definitely some boundary building up there and it's trying to form up into the I-83 corridor it seems.

[ThePhotoGuy]

Currently 94.6 after a high of 99.5

Try not to burn up your neighborhood given how dry it is.

Second day in a row for mid 100's up through N Central MD,  parts of Lanco and York county as well as Adams county PA. 

[Eskimo Joe]

Storm just southeast of CHO pushing 60,000 feet. There's your microburst risk.

1930 had 11

2012 had 8

we have three straight of 102+ - I wonder if that is a record.  In 2024 we set the record streak of 101+ (4).

Also dumping hail 

[stormy]

.22" more in a torrential short shower 4:05.

Temperature down to 79!

 

[yoda]

Looks like a storm going up in PW that has its eyes on DC metro over next 60-90 minutes 

[Eskimo Joe]

Roughly 10,000 without power from the CHO storm. Clearly dropping some decent winds as it moves through.

[MN Transplant]

IAD sitting at 99. Still a chance.

[Eskimo Joe]

Up 99.5° for the second time up in Reisterstown. Running out of time here to get a clean 100°

[Rhino16]

91°, dwpt 80, hoping it rains but I’m not convinced. Hard to tell with kakq being down.

someone needs to check that out - there's no way they didn't hit 100 in western Fairfax / eastern Loudoun.

[Eskimo Joe]

Storm just south of Front Royal up to 55,000 feet.

[yoda]

Storm east of CHO pretty decent
