Updated highs for 2024 so far ... see June contest thread for forecasts and previous values to date. 

DCA_104 (7/16) ... NYC_95 ... BOS_98 ... ORD_97 ... ATL_100 ... IAH_ 100 ... DEN_102 (7/12) ... PHX_118 ... SEA _ 98 (9th)

I have beat them all except PHX so far (105 locally today July 10). Las Vegas 120 and Death Valley 129, not going to want to beat those. 

Will update anomalies at mid-month after 16 days as I consider 1-16 first half of a 31-day month.
