Today was another hot day for our area. Temperatures got into the 90s today (91 deg in Central Park and 96 deg in Newark). Heat indexes are near 100 deg in some spots right now as the humidity increases and we have the heating of the day from the sunshine in our area today.
Right now, we have some cloud-cover building associated with a line of thunderstorms currently located in southwestern Pennsylvania. For tonight, we will continue to see some clouds with a chance of thunderstorms increasing with the best chance of thunderstorms around 2am, an unusual time for thunderstorms to develop in our area. Night-time low temperatures will be in the low to mid 70s. Now on to the heat.....Tomorrow will be the hottest day this week with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s in some spots. Areas like Newark are currently forecasted to reach 101 degrees with heat indexes of 107 or 108 degrees. We currently have a heat advisory in effect for areas like Bergen, Essex, Passaic, Hudson, and Union Counties as well as the five boroughs in NYC. This advisory will expire at 4:30am EDT. Then, another heat advisory will be issued for our area going into effect at 12pm expiring at 9pm EDT tomorrow. We will have plenty of sunshine which will not help the heat since the UV Index will have a value of 9, which means you can get a sun burn within less than a 1/2 hour. There will be a very low chance of precip. Currently, for Tuesday, the chance of rain will be about 20%. The rip current risk tomorrow will be moderate to high, so be careful! IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT, SWIM PARALLEL TO THE SHORE AWAY FROM THE RIP AND THEN SWIM TO SHORE. Other things to be mindful of are the recent sightings of syringes washing up on some beaches as well as the recent shark sightings.
Wednesday will be much nicer with temperatures still in the upper 80s to near 90 deg with plenty of sunshine with a UV Index value of 9....so don't forget to apply the sunscreen! Thursday and Friday will be cooler with temps in the low to mid 80s and plenty of sunshine! More details to follow in the near-future.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
