Well, there is no El Nino around this year, so scratch that off your list...

Global warming would be an oversimplification of the matter. You cannot declare global warming based on local effects. In this case I would just blame the ridge over the east as well as the constant southerly flow induced by the mid-US cutoff low. As a general rule of thumb, non-normal weather in any location does not indicate global warming or cooling, non-normal weather is actually quite normal, if that makes any sense.

My guess is that you've had southerly flow for a week or so.

There is no "normal" in weather
What is the average, but the mean of two extremes?

Ha! You got me, I was fishing for the right words, and for whatever reason the word average was not in my vocabulary today. That is exactly what I meant to say, there is no "Normal" weather, but we seem to always find ourselves expecting the average.
