Got 89'd before storms gradually arrived.

Surprised to see that happen after all today. I had a feeling 88 was all DAY was going to reach this afternoon before the storms popped up. Third 90-degree day of the year, currently ties last "Summer's" total.

Hitting 90 just isn't going to happen today here, too. Maxed out at 88 about a couple hours ago thanks to the small, yet slowly-thinning, band of clouds. Still stuck at 86 as of 1:56pm. TWC did a good job sticking a fork on today early this morning.

That or Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown if the heat even gets pushed back.

Only time will tell. Fingers crossed. Otherwise, we're paying for May this month.

Topped out at 91 today.

Temps overperformed slightly today. Wasn't expecting it until tomorrow, but DAY reached 90 for the first time this year today!

Hit 87F here, too.

Temps overperformed at 67F today.

Same here. First 80 of 2018. Highest DAY is going to get for this April.

Looks like 1816 meets its match. Twenty-Hundred and Froze to Death Seriously, I wonder if the eruptions of Mt. Agung in Indonesia last Fall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017–2018_eruptions_of_Mount_Agung) may have helped form one of the strongest Greenland Blocking patterns on record and the stratospheric warming back in February. There was a warning from last December about the effects following the eruptions. (https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/885802/Bali-volcano-Mount-Agung-news-update-freeze-climate-change-global-warming-NASA-indonesia) I've been thinking over the past month, we're going to get a summer colder than last year.

Make that 73 for Friday now. At least TWC is now keeping up with the GFS and Euro. Now the NWS has yet to do the same.

DAY has hit the 70s only twice in February. There has never been an April when temps fail to reach 70 the entire month. Gut feeling this is going to be the first April ever not to have any 70-degree days. The record low maximum April temperature is 73 degrees in 1998 which has a chance to be broken by the end of this month.
