"Really, there’s nothing extraordinary about this shift other than it was a massive shift, and it really helps to highlight how hot this recent heat spell was."

"One of the interesting ways of looking at our changing planet is record highs to record lows, right? We’re getting so many record highs anymore that it doesn’t feel like it’s big news because it’s happening so often, but we just don’t get as many record lows as frequently. It doesn’t mean they don’t happen, they still do. But it’s when you look at those ratios over time, the record highs are far outpacing the record lows, and that’s a sign that things are out of balance, right?"

"We had so many record highs, not only our daytime maximum temperatures, but our overnight low temperatures throughout a widespread region of the country. So this massive shift feels great and it’s giving everyone a break, which is nice, but it’s not coming necessarily with record lows on the other side."

STORYLINE:
After days of blistering heat, the nation’s sweaty East Coast got to open windows, go outside and take a deep breath of relatively cool, but temporary, relief on Friday. Triple digit temperatures plummeted as much as 40 degrees, with humidity dropping alongside.
At least 68 high temperature records were set and more than 20 places logged triple digit heat from Sunday through Wednesday, but by Friday a back door cold front from the north broke the strong grip a heat dome had on the region. Boston which set a record of 102 on Tuesday was down to 61 Friday morning.
That blast of cool comfort brought temperatures that were as much as 10 to 15 degrees below normal summer temperatures, but they didn’t come close to breaking cold records, said Frank Pereira, meteorologist at the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.
About the only place that could break a cool record of any kind Friday is one tiny station in Philadelphia, at the Franklin Institute, were the lowest high temperature for the day on record is 75 and it may only get up to 72, Pereira said. But records don’t go back that far at that site and meteorologists in Philadelphia don’t consider it representative of the area, which is unlikely to get a record for cool, said weather service meteorologist Ray Martin in the local weather forecast office in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
