FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Jeff Brauner, in Baltimore, noticed that the record high for an Oct. 25 in Baltimore is just 77 degrees. “All other October dates are at least 5 degrees higher, well into the 80s … Could this be an error?” I doubt it. Set in 1931, it’s October’s coolest record high. But it’s likely just an outlier, occurring two weeks before daily record highs are routinely in the upper 70s. It happens. The March 11 record is 75 degrees, surrounded by upper 70s and 80s. And the Jan. 14-15 records are 78 and 79 degrees, surrounded by 60s and low 70s.
