Caribou Maine having it's Warmest on record so far & Burlington,VT 10th. Maybe I was looking at Burlington?

One interesting thing ive noticed is that in the big coasatal cities from Boston to DC, the top 10 warmest months for each month tend to be heavily clustered in the last 50 years indeed often the last 30, whereas this is not so for inland area with a long record like Burlington and albany, indeed burlingtons top 10 summers seem to show no such cluster.

I am not sure why, one theory ive read is that the big cities have higher skycrapers than say 100 years ago that give off more heat where the smaller cities do not have this phenomenon. Another is that along the way the smaller cities moved their weqther stations from downtown to airports in rural areas, whereas NYC still uses Central Park and Logan, Philly and Reagan airports are surrounded by urbanity and barely moved from downtown.

Looks like another not too hot but still muggy day today. Last few days have been kinda gross out. Certainly could've been worse if the temps were higher, but still gross nonetheless

Don't forget about Normal. LOL. Tell us what you really think, it's ok to be wrong. Use the risk-reward thing. Which has better odds? Right now there is less odds that favor a well above normal Fall. Pattern doesn't support it and patterns don't change on the dime so either use your own strategy to make a call or use the percentage game of current conditions in the atmosphere.

Looks like Status quo. Here's 8 day forecast for coastal areas. Bit warmer for Inland and cooler at night. 80s/60s. Slow and steady. No 90s in sight next 10 days still.

While we been "slightly" below normal recent days, the bigger cooler departures are west of us naturally.

Temp departures last 7 days. Seems like the blue & purple paint is not washable lately. Only 5 States with well above normal temps in them

I would guess below normal at this juncture. But I emphasize GUESS

But I still say betting against the long range forecast is greater than 50/50 odds.

Look at July above normal (didnt feel like it ) and albeit by very little and they predicted below.

So by now (through August 3rd) BDR saw 13 days with 90°+ last year! Only 1 so far.

2012: 12
2011: 6
2010: 12
2009: 0
2008: 8
2007: 3

This year is matching 2009 in many ways for many areas in the U.S

Are u curious how many 90° days happened for these cities so far?

Take a look & compare to previous years for the period (Jan 1 - August 3)

For instance... Last year by now Bridgeport had 13 days of 90° or warmer, this year only 1.
In 2010 NYC had 22 days by now, this year only 3

That is great info...

Its odd how more cities were slightly above normal then. Higher low temps i guess.

Looks like we suddenly have an outside shot at 90 today (I bet BDL and EWR do it somehow... ), but after today not again for the foreseeable future though Accu-Weather's super long-range "wish cast" seems to have some hot weather the 3rd week of August.
