Tuesday is another First Alert Weather Day due to dangerous heat around the Tri-State Area. Wednesday will be a First Alert Weather Day, too. 

The culprit is the extreme heat and humidity gripping the region.

Advisories:

  • Excessive heat warning across much of the area for peak heat index values of 100-110°
  • Heat advisory across eastern Suffolk, the Jersey coastline and parts of the Catskills for peak heat index values of 95-100+°
  • Air quality alert across much of the area due to ground level ozone. The Air Quality Health Advisory will also extend through Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., New York's Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Health said.

Record highs are likely to be set across the Tri-State Area Tuesday. On Monday, Central Park tied a record set in 1888, which was the last time June 23 hit 96 degrees. Another Central Park record may be shattered Tuesday, with the record of 96 likely to fall as we anticipate reaching 99. Similar records may fall at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International airports, as well as in Islip, Newark, N.J. and Bridgeport, Conn.

Tuesday started out warm and stuffy in the morning, with temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, but as the afternoon goes on, the highs will be in the upper 90s, and it will be hazy, hot and humid, making it feel like more than 100 degrees.

Unfortunately, even the night time won't bring much relief. It will still be warm and stuffy, although highs will drop to 82.

Wednesday will remain very hot and humid, and bring with it the possibility of isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Highs will be in the mid-90s but it will again feel like 100, or more.

We finally get some relief Thursday, though it will come with more scattered storms. Highs will mercifully drop to around 80. On Friday, those highs will drop to the mid-70s.
