A heat advisory is in effect for parts of the northeastern United States and Wisconsin as temperatures are expected to rise through the week, peaking on Friday. Forecasts indicate a mix of sun and clouds with periods of low clouds, patchy fog, and scattered thunderstorms, some of which may be strong to severe. Inland highs are projected to reach the upper 80s to low 90s, with heat indices rising to 95-100 degrees by Wednesday and potentially reaching triple digits on Friday. Humidity levels are increasing, contributing to a muggy atmosphere, particularly from Thursday through Saturday morning, before a drop in humidity is anticipated on Saturday afternoon. Coastal areas are expected to experience slightly cooler temperatures in the 70s to low 80s. The weather pattern includes breezy conditions with southerly winds, and there is some uncertainty regarding the exact temperature due to lingering morning storms and cloud cover, which are expected to clear later in the day.
The heat index won't be a factor today, but higher humidity will make it feel like the middle to upper 90s Thursday afternoon. We'll take it to the next level on Friday, with triple-digit heat index values on the horizon and Heat Advisories likely for some. https://t.co/1E8bXE248A
Temperatures will continue to dial up a few degrees from the previous day and night before the heat really spikes on Friday. This means highs in the upper 80s today, lower 90s on Thursday. Overnight lows will be in the lower 70s tonight, mid-70s Thursday night. https://t.co/leqbxdS2RO
