I don’t suppose anyone will be dancing in the streets in the Northeast after hearing their new forecast this morning. But at least they should have a half smile/half frown on their face.

These expected high temperatures today:

98 New York City but with a heat index of 103
90 Boston today, 88 Thursday and only 82 by Saturday
101 Washington today, 92
102 Richmond, 95 Thursday
90 Boston, 88 Thursday and by Saturday, a high only 82.

COMPARE THAT TO YESTERDAY’S HIGHS
103 NYC (Central Park and LaGuardaia Airport (LGA)
102 Washington
103 Richmond
101 Raleigh
104 Newark

I will have a big smile on my face when our high/low becomes my all time favorite of 66/36
