High pressure means sunny weather, and the lack of clouds combined with arid air means that we'll be wanting to stay inside today. Please be advised that a heat advisory is in effect for much of the northeast and along eastern seaboard today, extending into Wednesday for certain areas, including the metro area where highs will be nearing 100° with heat index values well over that. The surface map below shows why we're having such a large amount of sunshine and heat.
You'll also notice those dry lines (one along the eastern NY state border and the other curling around the northeast's coastline) which are keeping passing showers at bay for now. There's still a slight chance that a stray shower or thunderstorm may pass through for today, but chances are we'll remain dry.
So stay inside if you can, and if you're stuck outside make sure you have plenty of water on you, and try and take a break to go into shade once in a while to regain your strength. Temperatures will drop more towards the end of the week (when the chance of showers and possible thunderstorms arrive), so try to just survive this hot summer weather for now.
