       90s: Ready or not, here it comes. The first 90-degree day(s) of the season are rapidly approaching. Based on current data, if we don’t hit it Friday, we almost certainly will on Saturday. As I mentioned a week ago, when this heat was first showing up on models, the average first 90 in the city is May 16. In 2021, the first was May 20. Fortunately, it’s a quick blast — for now.
