The week began on a scorching note. Temperatures soared into the lower 90s for the second day in a row with heat indices at or near 100 degrees across the region.
A Heat Advisory has been extended into Wednesday for much of the region including the city. The exception would be a good portion of New Jersey, where an Excessive Heat Warning has been issued for Tuesday. In the warned area, the heat index will likely exceed 103 degrees.
After an uncomfortably warm Monday night, temperatures will quickly make their way into the 80s Tuesday morning before finally topping out in the mid-90s later in the day.
This would officially make it our second heat wave of June, as temps hits 90 or more for the third day in a row.
Record highs may be possible for LaGuardia and Newark Airports, where the temperatures could possibly hit the upper 90s to around 100 degrees. Adding in the humidity, the heat index in the city could exceed 100 degrees in the afternoon. At the end of the day, an isolated thunderstorm may flare up due to the extreme heat and humidity.
