For the record, Syracuse temperatures hit highs of 90 on May 26, July 9, July 12, Aug. 4 and Aug. 31, according to the National Weather Service.
It got up to 91 on July 17, Sept. 1 and Sept. 3.
It reached 92 on May 31 and Sept. 2.
It was 93 on July 7.
And it soared to 94 on July 5, July 6 and July 8.
Kiss it goodbye – at least for now — on Saturday, the weather service says.
A cold front coming through from the west is dragging cool Canadian air behind it. Temperatures Saturday and Sunday are expected to reach no higher than the upper 60s – more than 20 degree below what the region’s been sweating through this week – before rebounding into the mid-70s on Labor Day Monday, the weather service’s Binghamton office says.
Saturday will be mostly cloudy, too, with a chance of scattered showers.
It also will be breezy, with west wind between 15 mph and 25 mph and gusts up to 45 mph. The wind won’t be from the tail of Hurricane Earl lashing at us as it chugs past the East Coast, Meteorologist Steven Ippoliti said. Rather, the Canadian system is packing its own winds; if anything, Earl will intensify them by sucking them toward the hurricane, Ippoliti said.
Sunday will be partly sunny and breezy but less so than Saturday. Expect partly sunny skies on Monday, the weather service said.
