[ laughter ] >> all right. jeff.

so this heat wave it's looking like we are going to have maybe a couple of them? the first heat wave since 2013 officially and then we could have another one late next week into next weekend. so we heads outside right now. and the ohm spear state building build up in wean, white and -- green, white and orange for india day. that wind coming in from the southwest around 5 miles per hour and highs today 92 in the park and got up to 94 at newark. at belmar. you didn't get much relief down by the water except on island you did because that one was from the southwest. -- wind was from the southwest. right now temperatures in the lower and middle 80s in the hudson valley urban centers though like new york city and still stuck in the low 80s and that will be the pattern that we have during the next several mights urban areas get hardly any relief at night. you get that urban heat island all the concrete in the city absorbs the heat during the day and retransmits the heat at night into the and that's why you don't get much relief out there.

the dew points are in the mid 60s right now. in the uncomfortable category and they will stay that way through the next several days as temperatures increase by a couple of degrees each day. the radar satellite right now just showing a few clouds north of the city there. there were some heavier thunderstorms over parts of ulster and dutchess counties even northern fair field got in on the act. just little boundary shifting on through the area right now but it's weakening as it moves to the south. we don't have to worry about any more activity overnight. hot and humid during the day tomorrow. the high up to94. the record for tomorrow by the way is 96 degrees that was set back in 1944. on monday, i do expect to perhaps break a record. the record on monday was 95. set back in 1944 as well rob was saying he remembered that. -- that southwest wind coming in acting as heat pump in the atmosphere, the sea and sand weather for tomorrow if you're going to the beach, waves about two to three feet and water temperatures in the lower and

middle 70s. the rip current risk is we want to emphasize that. if u yo going to be swill -- if you're going to be swimming swim parallel to shore until you're out of the current and coastline. for tomorrow air quality you don't want to exert yourself too heavily outdoors and uv index is 8 which is very high and we're getting into the grass weed and pollen season. 7:00 in the morning mostly sunny and warm and muggy and could be some patchy fog to start north and west of the city. temperatures in the middle and upper 70s. we get up to 94 during the day. just a hot steamy afternoon out there. night. we're back down to about 75. day forecast. again, we're expecting record heat on monday. breaking that record by a 96. still potentially record heat enthuses. the record on -- on tuesday, the record on tuesday is 92 and we're going for 39. maybe a thunderstorm in the afternoon and we dip down into

the upper80s on wednesday and thursday and maybe some storms again thursday afternoon. those could be on the strong just as we think summer is starting to wind down a little bit guess what? >> it's summer you know. and -- and two months will be wishing for it right? >> oh, yeah. >> exactly. thanks jeff. two separate heat waves coming though. >> thanks guys for staying up with us, i'm sandra bookman. >> and i'm rob powers, eyewitness news return
