Summer-like temperatures set to break over 100 records this week

Much of the country will experience its 11th day in a row of record heat on Tuesday, all part of a pattern that has been in place across the southern tier of the lower-48 in place since early May.

Highs of between 15 and 25 degrees above average Tuesday are forecast, with temperatures feeling like mid-July across the Southern Plains as temperatures soar into the mid-90s and low-100s.

Cities that could set records Tuesday include Dallas, Amarillo and San Antonio, Texas, and Roswell, New Mexico.

This warmth expands east through the week, eventually leading to record highs across the Southeast and cities like Charlotte and Raleigh, North Carolina, and Orlando, Florida, by Friday.

Meanwhile it's 57 degrees where I am, north of Seattle.

My rhododendrons and azaleas are in full bloom. A month early on the rhodies.

... is the fact that it didn't RAIN today!

We actually had sunshine for the first time in a week or more. There are more cloudy overcast days in southwestern PA than just about anywhere. Well, Buffalo and Seattle have us beat by a few days. We do get a few sunny, hot, humid days in July. But that's about it.

Guess I will be inside all weekend with the AC. I can't stand the heat. Even 75 is pushing it for me.
