Going with a warm July/August in these parts anymore seems like the persistence/climo forecast. It's a virtual lock. Wonder if we're 60 or 70 on Christmas this year.
Unofficial temp in the shade in Reisterstown is 97°. We don't have as many clouds as down towards DC and there's a bit of a breeze trying to burp up. It sucks outside, but it isn't the end of the world ATM.
