The heat will remain the big weather story across the Tri-State for the next couple of days. Tonight stays mostly clear and very warm, with temperatures only falling into the middle 70s, so again there won’t be much relief even after sunset. The Extreme Heat Warning will continue through Thursday.
Wednesday and Thursday will bring plenty of sunshine and even a touch more humidity as afternoon highs climb into the mid 90s. When you add in the humidity, it will feel closer to the middle 100s during the afternoon, the hottest part of the day.
A large area of high pressure remains parked just to our south, helping to lock in the hot, humid air and keeping skies mostly sunny. So, if you have plans outdoors, be sure to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and limit strenuous activity during the peak afternoon heat.
By Friday, that high begins to weaken just enough to allow a chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms to develop. Right now, it appears the high will slide back to the southeast, lessening the heat and allowing wet weather to form. Without that development, the highs could still rise into the mid 90s and “feels-like” temps back to the mid 100s.
Looking ahead to Saturday, the Fourth of July, expect a mostly sunny start with hot and humid conditions continuing. There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms after about mid-afternoon, so if you have outdoor celebrations planned later in the day, be prepared for changing weather.
Saturday night also carries a chance for showers and thunderstorms, which could affect evening festivities. That unsettled pattern continues into Sunday with additional chances for showers and thunderstorms while afternoon temperatures ease back into the lower 90s.
