You have a super-secret source that gets the temps first?

 

94.3 at home - high on the year

wunderground seems fastest from what I've tried. They usually get by 54 or 55 after.

As for dew points, Zubrick said that from a limited sample dating back to 1962: “... it appears there are several days the dew point reached at least 82F. I suspect if one were to go back and look through all of the records, 82F dew point would be close to the max in D/C. I’d hazard a guess that 83F or 84F dew points have probably occurred in the past.”
