Original post:
As the April heat wave comes to a close on day 4, several more records have been set or tied in the Mid Atlantic and Northeast regions. Note that Bangor, Maine broke a 71-year record by 10 degrees. That high followed a low this morning of 44°. Although a record report has not yet been issued, it appears that the 90° reading at Portland this hour also breaks a record from 1938. If confirmed, this would be a new all-time high for the month of April in a record that extends back to 1871.
