NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Temperatures in the 90s today in the Mid-Atlantic and then continued comfortable warmth into early May. Nothing too extreme — just seasonably mild.

The upper-level pattern looks very progressive with a series of upper-level troughs rotating around the hemisphere along the jet stream waveguide.
