86/72 in central Calvert and the sky is blue for now.  Our daughter is in Alpena in northern MI for work and sent this picture.  That is BAD

Not only Canada, the Boundary Waters area of northern MN has lightning-induced fires and they've closed the park for only the third time on record.

Mostly mid 80s on the mesonet. So will take some work to hit widespread 100, especially with some smoky skies 

Still mostly upper 80s or right at 90 except for Baltimore city. 

[pazzo83]

DCA into the mid 90s.

DCA is taking advantage of the west wind.  Up to 93.  Milky sky, but not a ton of irradiance reduction today.

90.5 at home.  Likely a late high day as the warm pocket aloft is still advecting in.

[Terpeast]

93 imby. I think the smoke/haze is limiting heating at the surface despite high 850mb temps

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

I was promised lower dew points lol, 91/76

[pazzo83]

smoke already being reported in NYC and BOS

[pazzo83]

96 or 97 now at DCA - gonna make a run for it.

[frd]

Temp to 96 now that there is less smoke.

Holly cow look at NY state,  that is going to drop South.

Code 'Brown' for oh crap.

This is a strange heat wave. Both Annapolis and Salisbury running hotter than BWI and AAFB. Opposite of usual. Early July, KNAK never got above 97 while the others were 101/102. 

I didn't expect to get over 95 here today. (Shows my forecasting skill I guess )

 

[Terpeast]

Hit 97 today, underperformed the forecast high of 100-101. But dews were higher

[pazzo83]

I peaked at 98/74 - DCA hit 97.

90/62 here in Augusta.

[GramaxRefugee]

Hi 95 here, but not as obnoxious as the July 3 event with DP about 8 points lower. 

[JakkelWx]

here we go. smoke is here. Smelly outside

[dailylurker]

Wait.... i thought we were going to have low dews for this heatwave. Dewpoint here is close to 80 lol. Yay! Smoky, hot, dry, super humid. I can't understand how anyone can love summer. Give me a 4:47 sunset and a -10 wind chill over this bs any day. And snow!! Feet of snow!

Hmm I dont smell smoke and this image would show the highest smoke density up North still

 

 

 

[MN Transplant]

We might finally break the all-time warm low record at Dulles.  Doesn’t look like they’ve broken below 80.

Although the timestamp has updated, the actual geo image has not updated since yesterday.

The sun here upon sunrise is a tiny red ball behind a thick milky sky, surreal.
