Maybe we need separate forum for this (Greatest Weather Records of All-Time) -- but I find that ND has an all time max temp (121) higher than that of TX and OK( 120) to be nuts. Only 4 states have recorded a higher max temp than that of ND--(CA,AZ,NV ,NM) -- When you factor in ND all time min is -60F-- it's the Siberia of North America and one of the most extreme climos in the world.

Not wanting to go into the climate change deal- just stating a fact from 1936. On this date in 1936, 55.6% of the U.S. was ≥90°F and nearly a quarter of the country was ≥100°F. At least one location in each state except for Oregon reached the 90° mark, while an incredible 40 states reached the triple digits. It was: • 100° in LA, MA, NC, and UT • 101° in AL, SC, TX, and VT • 102° in DE and GA • 103° in CT and TN • 104° in AZ, AR, MS, and MT • 105° in CA, MD, OK, and WI • 106° in NY and WY • 107° in CO, IA, KS, MI, and VA • 108° in IL, KY, and MO • 109° in NE, NV, NJ, and OH • 110° in IN, MN, and WV • 111° in PA • 115° in ND and SD

Everett forecast updated tonight and everything is COLDER than the forecast this morning. So it looks like we are trending cooler now.

Looks like at least a chance of rain here the next few days, with Saturday into Sunday being the best chance. On the other hand it doesn't look like a lot. So it'll probably mostly just end up hot and humid. Oh well, this time of year sucks no matter what, but within 2 months we will already be on the downhill towards fall and winter.
