NEW YORK – Another heat wave is on the way for states in the Northeast, but residents will get to enjoy a beautiful weekend before the weather turns up the heat.
By the numbers:
With a big area of high pressure pulling away from the region, the humidity will be making a comeback over the next few days. The question on everyone’s mind is how hot will it get?
Sunday brings us one last day in the 80s. The heat wave is then set to begin on Monday, when the high is expected to reach the low-90s. Then, the high temperatures stick around in the low-90s for the rest of the workweek. It will become more humid as the week goes on in New York City.
NYC will experience its fourth-hottest year and its second-warmest summer on record.
So far, there have been 14 days in the 90s this summer for NYC, with the average being 15 days. This next heat wave will easily break that average.
As of Saturday, Aug. 8, NYC, D.C., and Philadelphia have not had any days in the 90s this August.
