Midweek Comfort

6/11/2008 7:27 AM

Cool dry air has followed the storm system that moved through the East late on Tuesday, bringing more comfortable conditions to the region.

The line of storms on Tuesday sparked an outbreak of damaging winds and large hail from northern New England to northern Florida.

The cold front producing the storms sliced into the record heat along the Eastern Seaboard, sparking the outbreak that snarled air, road and rail traffic on Tuesday night.

The cooler air behind the front today will push out the heat and humidity that has gripped the eastern third of the country since the weekend. Record temperatures set on Tuesday included:

NYC LaGuardia Airport: 100°/old record 95°in 1984

Concord, N.H.: 98°/old record 95° in 1959

Windsor Locks, Con.: 98°/old record 97°in 1974

Philadelphia, Pa.: 98°/old record 97°in 1964

Albany, N.Y.: 96°/old record 92°in 1974

NYC Central Park: 96°/old record 95°in 1984

High temperatures today in the major cities along the Interstate 95 corridor will be as much as 10 degrees cooler than today, while the decreased humidity will lower the discomfort level.

The South Regional News story reports that the combination today of the advancing cold front and onshore breezes will break the heat and humidity across the South. However, daytime heating could spark spotty late-day showers and thunderstorms.

High Temperatures For Selected Cities:
City	Avg.	Thurs.	Fri.	Sat.	Sun.
Buffalo	75	80	83	73	74
Pittsburgh	79	89	85	79	81
Philadelphia	80	87	88	87	84
Washington, D.C.	84	88	85	87	85
New York City	79	86	85	86	82
Boston	76	78	79	80	70
