The weatherunderground forecast has dewpoints in the upper 50s for me late next and Memorial Day weekend in the afternoon. Has dewpoints go down a bit in the afternoon for those days. I wonder where they're getting that from? Not the usual pattern but maybe cause it's not summer yet?
Sunny out, thought it was supposed to be cloudy all day. Tomorrow is forecast to be partly according to wunderground, cloudy with a chance of rain on NWS. Both were saying cloudy yesterday
I say bring it on. Soon enough we will be sitting in a giant sauna with the sun bearing down.

A wet, cool, dismal stretch of spring weather will continue in the East this weekend as a low-pressure system hugs the Eastern Seaboard, bringing more rain.
May, thus far, has featured a high number of cloudy days and frequent periods of rain for some major East Coast cities. Unfortunately, this weekend will be no exception as a storm pushes out of the Southeast Friday to the Eastern Seaboard, Saturday.
Some effects will linger into early next week.

It has been a particularly frustrating period since mid-April for those who reside in the D.C. area.
Reagan National Airport has recorded measurable rain on 15 of the first 20 days in May. Cloudy skies (at least 8/10 of the sky covered in clouds) have been observed for 13 May days. Their high temperature has yet to reach 80 degrees so far this month.
Earlier, Reagan Airport smashed the previous record streak with measurable rain, chalking up 15 straight days with at least 0.01 inch of rain from April 27 through May 11.
Amazingly, their last mostly sunny day, defined as a day with average cloud cover of 30 percent or less, was over a month ago, April 17.
Thanks to all the persistent clouds, rain, and some intrusions of cold air, the first 17 days of May were the fourth coolest such period on record in Baltimore, coolest since May 1-17, 1967.
It's also been a top 10 coolest start to May (through the first 17 days) in Newark, New Jersey, the coolest since 1978, according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center.
See what I mean about the 1980's. How often do you have low temps of 13F and temps not going above freezing during the day in recent years? Don't think your grandpa's oranges and lemons would survive then.
Yeah, I don't think they would have survived the cold that occurred in the 1980's. But there were three days that did not go above freezing in January 2014 with lows in the teens, but a couple of days later it would warm up to above 60F. https://www.wunderground.com/history...eqdb.wmo=99999

No surprise when the heat comes in.
