WeatherCoats | NJ Weather - Dangerous Heat Will Give Way

Dangerous heat will be affecting us for Thursday and Friday with the Heat Index (them temperature it feels like) well into the 100s.  The NWS has issued an Excessive Heat WARNING from Noon on Thursday to 8pm Saturday for all of New Jersey.  The combination of Heat and Humidity for those three days will cause life-threatening conditions that may lead to Heat Illness.  PLEASE DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS if you must go outside.  Otherwise, stay indoors in the AC or take a dip in the pool.  Also, do NOT run a fan in the house without either opening the window or placing a bowl of ice in front of the fan.  Failure to do so will create a convection-oven-like effect and cause temperatures inside to rise even higher than outside.  As for the rest of the week, temperatures and humidity will go down as the week progresses.  For Tuesday, the GFS Forecast Model is suggesting the possibility of some rain, but the NWS forecast isn't calling for any, so we'll just have to look out for that.

Looking Ahead:  Temperatures remain fairly hot for next week, with a chance of some rain next weekend and during the following week.  There still stands a chance, however, that we could see a couple of nicer and cooler days later on.
