About 100 million people in the Northeast will be blasted with a quick shot of heat and humidity this Saturday and Sunday. High temperatures are expected to range between the upper 80s and mid-90s from Ohio to Washington, D.C. to Baltimore to Philadelphia to New York City.
AccuWeather meteorologists say some cities in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast could see the hottest conditions since last August. In some metro areas, record highs for this time of year that have stood the test of time could be broken.
Daily record highs that have stood since the World War II and Great Depression eras will be challenged at a number of locations. At Philadelphia, temperatures could approach the record of 95 set in 1934 on Saturday. In both Raleigh, North Carolina, and Albany, New York, the daily records for Saturday, May 21, were set in 1941. The record in Raleigh is 96, while the record in New York’s state capital is 91. -AccuWeather
“Early season heat with likely record high temperatures will spread from the South into the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast on Friday, Saturday, and perhaps Sunday,” the National Weather Service said. The agency has issued a Heat Advisory along the I-95 corridor in the Northeast.
It’s the first time since 2006 that a Heat Advisory for New York City has been issued for this time of year. Tomorrow, high temps in Central Park could reach 93 degrees, tying a record for the date. The quick blast of heat comes as temperatures in the urban park between the Upper West and Upper East Sides of Manhattan haven’t even breached 80 degrees yet this year.
“The brunt of it should just be a one-day thing … at the minimum, we will be close to all the records in NYC,” Matt Wunsch, a weather service meteorologist on Long Island, told Bloomberg.
Wunsch said it’s difficult for temperatures in the Northeast to get so hot this time of year because the Atlantic Ocean water temperatures are still very cool. However, the heat is coming from Great Plains, where a megadrought continues to ravage the area.
” High temperatures are expected to range between the upper 80s and mid-90s from Ohio to Washington, D.C. to Baltimore to Philadelphia to New York City.”
Oh, you mean like the temps that we in Houston have almost every day of the year? LOL
Poor, sweet babies!
Will it be as bad as the 1896 heat wave? Long before Glo-Bull Warming?
80’s and 90’s? Oh my, that has never happened before- oh nope- it did- last year- for weeks on end- even into the 100’s and humid-
we still have our heat on here in the west....temps at night down to upper 30’s....can’t plant tomatoes at those temps.....
101° this afternoon here. Hardly roasting. I don’t understand the pearl clutching.
Isn’t this what wiped out the flying elephants?
Not that this is related but it made me think of it.
They recently found a skeleton on the beach I think, in Pompeii. Guy was hit by pyroclastic wind, 900 degrees or so Farenheit.
The bones are said to be bright red due to “the mark of the stains left by the victim’s blood,”
Have the weather people started naming heat waves yet?
LOL!
For the last week it’s been bouncing between 105 and 110 here in the Permian Basin. Suppose to blow out today and only be in the 90’s and 70’s tomorrow, then we have some rain coming I hope. Been one hot dry year so far.
I have a family member in WY. She was telling us about the blizzard.
Way back in the 80’s we had one of those sudden hot spells. It was a very cool spring with average temps in the mid 40’s in May. I was doing some rescue training for mass casualty motor vehicle wrecks when in full fire gear, I became a casualty, with several others on my team. We had to be cooled down with water from fire hoses. The temps had risen suddenly to high 90’s.
I had asked another rescuer to double check the pulse of my pretend victim because it seemed to be over 100, and I was lost trying to find a backboard. It turns out that the rapid heartrate was my own!
The sudden heatwave lasted a few days before normal temps returned. We had a cold summer.
Normally I don’t put in the window air conditioners until June (northern CT) but I had to install them today for this two day heat wave.

For two days? I think I would have just hung out at the mall!
Snowed? Today? Dang... it was hotter than satan’s balls here.

Bwahahahaha, never heard that one before!
Wyoming is God’s country.

Sad to say it won’t be for long. Word is the West Coast freaks are migrating there to get away from the cesspool they created on the coast, and guess what they’re bringing with them?
Maybe we need some ‘PUTIN DID THIS!’ stickers for the gas pumps. At least we would enjoy watching libs slap them on. 😃👍
We had snow last week and it’s 33 deg right now. Was in Vegas Sun-Wed and it was 101 deg. Weird huh? 😃
Just finished shoveling my driveway and neighbor’s driveway. 31 and snowing SW Denver burb. Wet heavy snow. Sometimes I was literally shoveling more water than snow.
Yeah, no shoveling lately and my snow blower does NOT like the wet heavy stuff.
Malls in this area are a gathering place for.....
