We also have another potential heat wave to contend with as temperatures return and the heat index reaches 100 degrees or higher.
Temperatures will rise above 90 degrees Sunday afternoon and a heat advisory is in effect.
Parts of the Hudson Valley, more areas of New Jersey and Long Island, and Connecticut also joined the Monday afternoon advisory.
Think of Sunday as an appetizer before the main course. The index will all break above 100 on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Scattered storms are possible Sunday into Tuesday night, then a cold front moves in Wednesday afternoon and night, bringing storms and possible severe storms. Cool, moist air moves in to end the week.
If it feels like this is the hottest year in recent memory, it's not just your head (or your sweat).
Storm Team 4 says 2024 is the hottest year on record (so far). The recent series of high temperatures has brought our average temperatures slightly above the historical records of 2012 and 2023.
Central Park has also hit 90 degrees 11 times so far this year (as of July 13), with more 90-degree days expected this week.
