Tuesday definitely coming into view as the actual transition day, essentially boiling things down to a four day event when it comes to major heat. Wednesday could easily end up being a low-mid 80’s day down here once the marine push gets into realistic view.

People don't see their own decline. Its hard. My dad was denial forever.

3 times here, once at DCA (though they’ve had two 99°’s and a 98° today, so very close). I’m running hot because I’ve been screwed by convection and local soils are parched. IAD as much rain in 1hr yesterday as I’ve had in 6 weeks (0.69” here since 5/27). It’s insane.

I haven't watched the interview yet but it doesn't sound like it helped Biden much at all. Per this article, the political dam may be breaking soon. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/06/biden-abc-interview-house-democrats-reaction

Redding could make a run at 120 tomorrow. Their all-time high is 118, although their airport only has records back to 1986. Nearby Red Bluff has much better data, with records back to 1933. They've been as hot as 119 in July (1972) and 121 is their all-time high from August 1981.
