It looks like NYC or Boston won't dip below 12-14C, so I think the cold is more of a coastal thing. Buffalo looks like it's gonna get hit hard

Awesome.

That's really great. Once this miserably warm day is done, it's back to cooler weather.

Why is it so much warmer on the south shore of MA than Boston? Are the waters that much water down there than in the bay?

71 here, but with a DP of 63 - looking forward to another soaker tonight and tomorrow morning.

^^ Wind direction maybe? I do see the south shore has a S wind while Boston is more E/SE.

[Cambium]

Yeah, I see a couple reasons.. The obvious one the Sea Breeze off cold waters as opposed to a warmer south flow.

Also Boston had a few scattered clouds around as opposed to full sun Southern MA shores.

As I thought, they backed off and it now shows only 85F.
