Unfortunately, the weekday highs will be around the same as today with highs on average 10° above the normals, with quite a few places matching or even beating the record highs for today. We'll have to wait until the weekend for temperatures to drop down into the 80's, but before that take a look at today's high temperatures across the nation:
Most of the country is feeling the heat. The normal southwest near the Arizona/Nevada/California border is over 100° for today but even locally in southwest Idaho reached those temperatures as well. Gladly we won't get that high, but the heat index for the Northeast did in fact go near or 100° in many areas, and will be similar over the next few days. Remember that the heat index is what the body feels when it's outside with the actual temperature combined with the humidity. A quick little rundown of the temps/dew points and heat index for the hot days ahead:
NYC Metro Area
Temp / Dew / RH% / Heat Index
Today: 96°/ 66° / 40% / 100°
Wed: 93° / 67° / 45% / 97°
Thu: 92° / 72° / 55% / 99°
Fri: 93° / 72° / 55% / 100°
So stay cool everyone. Pat returns to the weather center tomorrow.
