Synopsis:
An area of high pressure will develop and sit off the East coast for several days. This will be responsible for a heatwave that will most likely continue through next week. The peak of the heat looks to arrive as we turn the calendar to July on Sunday. Record highs will be approached and 100º is not out of the question in the typical hot spots. The combination of the high temperatures and high humidity will result in a dangerous heat index (how it actually feels) this weekend into the beginning of next week. A Heat Advisory is in effect for much of the tri-state area for Saturday for a Heat Index of 95-100º. An Excessive Heat Watch is in effect for Sunday for New York City and many areas just inland from the coast. A Heat Index of around 105º is expected. Please take this situation seriously and listen to your body for signs of heat exhaustion. Drink plenty of fluids and try to limit your time outdoors between 10am-4pm.
Stay tuned.
