Synopsis:
Summer arrives today at 10:42PM. The weather will cooperate for the new season with bright skies and warm readings.
The first weekend of the new season will feature sunshine. High pressure will dominate the East coast and become a heat dome for our region. Temperatures on Saturday will reach the upper 80s. A Sultry Sunday is expected with highs flirting with 100º in areas away from the coast. The heatwave will continue into next week with readings near the century mark through Tuesday. The temperature combined with the humidity will create dangerous heat indexes. Readings will feel between 102º-108º at the peak of the heatwave. The intense heat will lose its grip on the area by mid to late week, but readings still maybe near the 90º mark.
Please take it slow and drink plenty of fluids. Try to stay out of the sun between 10am-4pm. Check on the elderly and pets.
Stay tuned.
