GFS well out there so no need to focus on details but I would anticipate at least one more streak with days running at/above 100 given the way things have gone this year. Signal growing for a pretty hot spell around end mo/start Aug.

Looking a little like a struggling dry line

88 is a bit arbitrary but so is 90 other than we like numbers with 0 and 5. 90 mainly doesn't have enough data to show a trend as well. I think this pretty squarely captures our worst days though.

This is impressive -- 11 days with an average temperature of 88+ in DC this summer so far. Already beats all other full years in modern record. 2024, 11 1980, 10 2012, 10 2011, 9 2016, 8 1930, 7 #dcwx #dmvwx

During our break from big heat maybe we can get some smoke in here. #summer

Well, I did see rain three of the last four days and just missed last night so maybe 100s are good. This line is pretty meh tho.

101 the high in DC today. Follows 104, 102 and 101 the last three. Now the longest streak on record with 101 or higher. #dcwx #vawx

Cue Jaws music

Amazing how X is usually at the lead of disinfo these days. Who'd have guessed.

Lots of people sharing an image of supposed RNC sponsors and pointing to Starbucks. Turns out, it's complicated:

No, Starbucks is not sponsoring the Republican National Conventionapnews.com Social media users are claiming that Starbucks, known for taking strong positions in support of progressive political issues, is sponsoring the RNC.

At least 100 in DC today. That's four in a row 100-plus. Ties the lengthiest streak on record. #dcwx #hell

Passed 95 already today in DC. 17 days in the last 4 weeks 95+, ties the most on record in a 28-day stretch. #dcwx #hell

I always like these kinds of days for DC storms. We are simple storm folk. Give us CAPE after entrenched moisture and heat - add in an approaching cold front.

Tuesday's average temperature of 92 in DC tied for the fifth hottest day on record since 1872. #dcwx

I'm gonna stick with nothing

Yesterday's low held, making it seven days 80 or higher for lows this year in DC. Ties the record with 2016 and 2011 for most in a year. Today only got to 83 but rain better chance later so we shall see. #dcwx

Everyone still on Twitter should think hard about the fact that their eyeballs are raising money that Elon's giving to Trump.

Today laughs at other hot days this year. Still 99.

Up to 103 in DC at 3p. Hottest day since July 2012. #dcwx #dmvwx

this fits the terrorist profile at least

Jesus, both of Thomas Matthew Crooks' parents are licensed professional counselors. "The AR-15 rifle Crooks used was one of more than a dozen registered to and legally purchased by his father, with whom he often went to the shooting range, officials said." www.wsj.com/us-news/myst...

101 at 1pm in DC. Third day in a row 101-plus. Only previously done in 1930. #dcwx

High temperatures so far this year (many yesterday)...and today's forecast. 🔥 #dmvwx #summer

The cooldown looked nice for a while. And I mean technically it will be cooler. #dcwx

Better not steal our 80-plus low from this morning

Hmm

DC up to 101 at 3p. Second day in a row 100-plus, also another record high. #dcwx

Prime reasons I got fed up with the policy world. Full of dishonest brokers and hope for the besters.
