Wilmington is 86 over 80 HI 101 at 9am. Just walked outside and it feels like it. Gonna hit the beach in a minute to bake away the morning.
 
I'm in southport area and it ducks. Hopefully the beach will be okay.

The highest dewpoint I've ever experienced was at Myrtle Beach back in the eighties one July 4th weekend. I remember that the air temperature was 90 degrees at midnight on July 3rd and the dewpoint was around 85 degrees. Highs got over 100 degrees that weekend which made laying on the beach miserable to say the least. Cruising the strip that night was not much fun with the air bring that hot and humid. I was younger then and my definition of having a good time was much different than it is now.
 
Euro backed way off.

It looks like a transient high that boosts highs a bit but then is weakened a good bit as the next trough tries to rebuild in the east. Pattern continues, but now the troughs are reaching a bit farther south. Either way, I'm going to enjoy mid-week as our dew points drop in to the mid-sixties resulting in more comfortable low temps per attached.

yeah cant see how it can get much higher than 85 on the dewpoint around here......today was about as bad as it gets this early, I have seen a few days where it was mid 90's and we held on to 80+ DP but thankfully those are pretty rare not that something like 96/77 is that much better lol....

This was 10 AM this morning here...

Went to Caswell Beach today to avoid the heat. I swear it was worse behind the Seabreeze. There were atleast a few showers near Wilmington that kept them down. This was miserable even on the beach.
