The middle and end of next week (and maybe longer) are setting up to be quite warm to hot once again for much of the Eastern U.S.... with widespread 80s and 90s expected.
This round looks more humid, so it should be more noticeable. And Midwest should be more involved as well.
The lastest 12z Euro is flat out "Hot" for the East Coast later next week... showing a +20ºC bubble at 850mb centered around Newark next Thursday! Check out this pretty map from MDA-EarthSat...
Models agree rather well on this... although the Euro has it the strongest and longest. Summer starting early this year!
The models are forecasting this because of an early season Bermuda High and -PDO. This has NOTHING TO DO WITH GLOBAL WARMING! This is NORMAL WEATHER.
Bush's government even admitted it in 2002
Humans cause global warming, US admits

So why is this even a discussion anymore?
In a 268-page report submitted to the United Nations, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) endorsed what many scientists have long argued - that human activities such as oil refining, power generation and car emissions are significant causes of global warming.
This should put this to rest. Don't let me catch you talking about this anymore.
And shit. I can't find it, but for the first time, this non partisan government committee, something like GAO, but not gao, finally ruled that global warming is man made.
So you had the luxury of having a right wing anti environment president in office for 8 years so your precious companies could pollute all they wanted. That time is over. Hey, did you see this?
UNITED NATIONS - Momentum was building Thursday for a novel strategy by the Obama administration to deal in part with global warming: Use the existing U.N. treaty to fix the ozone hole as a way to enact mandatory reductions in a key greenhouse gas — not carbon dioxide but hydrofluorocarbons.
The Obama administration, in a major environmental policy shift, is leaning toward asking 195 nations that ratified the U.N. ozone treaty to do just that.
Two influential senators on Thursday sent President Barack Obama a letter urging him to do just that.
"Regulation of these gases could begin as soon as next year — significantly faster than any regulation of these potent greenhouse gases" via ongoing U.N. talks, wrote Sens. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. Kerry chairs the Foreign Relations Committee; Boxer the Environment and Public Works Committee.
