Assuming this verifies, it will be the coldest weather since last January. I'm still going with a relatively mild low of 21 on Wednesday night and a high of 36 on Thursday, because the Appalachians can do a good job of blocking the cold and I like to have low expectations. The NWS is saying a low of 12 and a high of 28, though.

You are the only person on Earth who finds higher humidity more comfortable.
I prefer moderate humidity. Dewpoints around 60 F when temperatures in the 80s. When the dewpoints are really low, there is way too much diurnal range. I experienced a high of 83 F and a low of 45 F today.
If it's going to be hot during the day, I'd rather start my morning off at 65 F or higher.
If it's going to have a low of 45 F and I have to experience it at 7AM, I'd rather have a high of 65 F than 83 F.
The plus to moderate humidity is less of a swing in temperatures (in addition to the possibility of warm rain and thunderstorms).
Miami reached 84 today with dewpoints 40-50F higher. I will never understand how people actually WANT to live on the west coast.
higher dew points isn't necessarily better. 85 F with 12% humidity felt great today here, not much different than over there (at least to me, it feels the same, i like both).
