The National Weather Service defines a heat wave as “a period of abnormally hot weather generally lasting more than two days.” We will see that and then some as we move through the middle of next week.

From Monday through Thursday, we are expecting near record temperatures across the Tri-State. Our average temperature for the period of June 13 through 17 is between 82° and 83°, but most places will be at least 10-degrees warmer than that every day this week.
