Cool, Crisp, Canadian High

That's what we have to thank for our wonderful weather for the past couple of days!  The attached snap shot shows the below shows the cool and dry air mass (black) being advected southward from our neighbors to the north.  Combining the large 1019 mb high pressure centered over Lake Huron this morning and an upper air low over the Gulf of Maine has created this beautiful flow of refreshing air!  It was actually cool last evening with gusts of this air over 20 mph from time to time.  The fans in Philly may have thought they were in San Fran watching the game in June!
The map below shows the 5 am temperature observations while the second map below shows the dew point observations at the same time.  Note the 39ºF and Mt. Washington this morning with a dew point of 36ºF!  Quite invigorating if that was your morning observation in the middle of June!  Here were the temps:
And here were the dew points:
The graphic below shows clearly how the temps have dropped precipitously over the last couple of days as compared to what we have recently been experiencing.
As most of you are aware, Jeter will be attaining a milestone in his prestigious baseball career this summer.  However, it will come a bit later than originally planned as Derek strained his calf lunging towards 1st base Monday evening.  As a result, like all baseball players do from time to time, he went on the DL.  This is his first trip to the DL since 2003!  When I read that stat, I again was amazed as most players visit that notorious list at least once a season....or so it seems!
Enjoy this most beautiful Wednesday!
