Hot,Dry and Boring

Really nothing earthshattering to tell you. August is here and it looks like the dog days of Summer are upon us. Most days for the forseable future will be in the 90's with a shot at upper 90's next week. This weekend cools a bit but will still be very warm. As far as rain, I hope you enjoyed what we got during the weekend because there is nothing coming. The rain over the weekend was a letdown and much less than what the models were adversting 3-4 days before hand. The drought wins again.

July is over and the average temp will starting going down from now till February so Winter is coming. Lets take a look back at July for IAD and DCA

IAD finished July about 1.6 above normal with a high of 97 on July 9. We had 13 90 degree days which was up from 8 in June. Not too bad. Somehow it rained 1.75 inches which was way below normal(1.82). The weekend storm gave us nearly an inch in about 4 days. We had one day where the high temp was 79! There was no snow

DCA finished July at Normal with a high of 98 on july 9 and 10. DCA featured 14 90 degree days. DCA got alot more rain than IAD with 2.40 inches but still 1.26 below normal. DCA also had an inch from the weekend event. July 29 was the wettest day at DCA with .98 inches


Still no signs of any hurricanes
