Definitely suited the official last day of this astronomical "summer."

According to http://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KDAY.html, guess again! Temps actually overperformed enough just before the stray storms hit and even topped out at 90 for the second time this year, previously on June 12th. The earliest last 90 on record is finally SAFE! CVG got 89'd, though.

Even the GFS had some 90s popping out at times during July. Either way, those days were just reserved for next Summer or the year after.

I do not see any changes in my trees' leaves, yet. I'm uncertain about it, too. However, I don't think we're going to be off the hook that easy again this upcoming winter.

Topped out at 88. DAY is in the screw zone, once again. Hope next Summer won't put DAY in the screw zone as much as this year.

Overachieved a bit, topping out at 88 just before the storms arrived. Very jealous. Meanwhile at DAY, 90-degree days remain at a near-record low with still only one back on June 12th. If DAY isn't going to hit 90 this past July, this month, or in the foreseeable future, the area might as well just go for the earliest last 90 on record this year and get it all over with.

Overachieved a bit, topping out at 89. It's the highest it's going to go for this month, anyway.

Temps overperformed by only a degree or two. Topped out at 87.

Only topped out at 72 under wall-to-wall overcast skies with only a trace of rainfall. With fall-like rains expected overnight into the next morning, tomorrow is not going to be any better as the fall-like system progresses. Early August is a bit too early for an expected 2+-day stretch of wall-to-wall overcast skies, but might as well be the final nail in the coffin on this "summer." Here's the latest 6-10 and 8-14 day outlooks:

Current high temperature so far this month is 85. If any warm-ups are not to be good enough here, DAY would not only go throughout the entire August without hitting 90, but could also come close to at least tying the record low maximum August temperature of 87 that occurred just 2 years ago (also in 1915).

Just as expected throughout the month, temperatures failed to reach 90 degrees in July for the first time since 2014 and only the 9th time since since records began in 1893. Now, let's hope August (particularly during 2nd half of the month) doesn't go that way as with July since both July and August together failing to reach 90 only occurred three times (2004 the latest) which those three occurrences were the summers when no 90s were recorded at all those entire years.

Currently at 33.73" as of yesterday. Supposing if the wet pattern was to remain in place pretty much through at least the remainder of this year, anybody want to bet on several areas going for the top 5 wettest years ever by December?

Topped out at 89. Still the highest it's just going to get for this month.

Cloud deck started to thin out a little bit earlier than yesterday. Currently at 85.
