Well i'd be pretty sure that 37N is in the south. Lets be honest here and so is Washington DC.
Lexington is at 38°N
I said barely into the south. It's almost borderline. As for Washington, DC being part of the south, it is in some ways and isn't in others. There are many, many threads arguing that in the General US forum
I've spent time in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan, and it looks more or less identical to here. Maybe we're a bit hillier, but when I hit Georgia or South Carolina it's a different world. So I don't call Lexington the south.
So 2 quick reasons why the Ohio Valley and Northeast haven't been getting hot temps yet...
1. The Upper Level low CONTINUES to linger in the North East near Nova Scotia. That is preventing a ridge and higher heights from building in the region.
2. The Polar Jet stream REFUSES to let up and this is also preventing ridges to stay put in the U.S.
but that's going to change now.
Check out the latest 500mb Heights forecast from the 3 models. I used the CMC to explain since it shows the features better.
Now add the fact that the 850mb temps will rise higher than whats been happening = NYC has a chance to finally hit 90 next Tues-Wednesday. Should be interesting to see widespread 90s come into the Northeast. Lets see if it plays out.
If that ULL doesn't move much in the Atlantic, forget it

Well it is south because its closer to the Equator.
How hot do you think we could get? I should check the GFS.
