Matt Gagnon interviews Heather Zehr from AccuWeather to discuss the unusually warm temperatures in the US, with recent highs reaching 80 degrees, even potentially breaking a record of 84 degrees from 1947. Heather attributes this to a high-pressure system over the eastern US, allowing warm air to flow in.
