Mostly sunny to start with some valley fog again. Quickly burning off and temps rising rapidly. At 1pm I recorded my warmest temp of the year. A rise, fall then almost like a brief heat burst a quick rise and then storms broke loose and all afternoon was spent in the 70s. Locations that saw the heaviest rain went into the 60s awhile this afternoon.

Temp profile this afternoon and heat index from 2 different times, and it was a little higher than pictured a few hours earlier. With today being my hottest recorded day year to date, it was short lived.

Radar, radar estimates putting out 3″ of rain near Thomas/Davis this afternoon. Given the nature of the slow moving drenchers and the fact Tucker Landfill had 2.3, Davis USGS gauge at 1″, Canaan Heights at 0.0″, 3″ amounts were highly possible.

Resulting temp anomaly

With building heights, high pressure, it should still allow for nighttime lows to drop into the comfortable range in the valleys. Warmest nights typically come at the end of the warm spell.

** Car thermometers, bank/store thermometers will likely read higher than reality during this period. Lots of heat, radation reflecting back off artificial surfaces, objects.

Some numbers off todays 12z Euro Sat-Mon for Snowshoe area, Canaan area, Deep Creek area. Keep in mind, highest locations will run touch under these numbers, lower, town areas will top there numbers.
