looks like, as we look across central park. the sun reflecting off the buildings. it is mostly sunny. and 78. and we've got calm winds this morning. and it is looking good. and the summer heat is making a comeback. we will be at 90 today. and then even warmer over the next few. and so yes, it will be a great beach week, with a low risk of rip kurns, and then monday, as we fast forward, looks to be the hottest day. not only will temperatures be nearing the mid-90s but humidity levels will be high, so it is going to feel like the mid to upper 90s out. there and we are saying hey, we have the potential again for the first heat wave of 2015. but this is looking pretty solid. if we can hit 90 today, we think we've got it in the bag. so yesterday, a high of 88. today at least a high of 90. and tomorrow, 92. monday, 93. all the while, humidity levels are increasing as well. making it feel even hotter out there. and on the vortex satellite and radar picture, what we know is that we have some more clouds to the north of the city. and a few stray showers as well. and this is a general trend for today.

there is a slight chance for showers. maybe a stray thunderstorm to the north of the city but otherwise, it is going to be a mostly sunny and very hot start to your weekend. and most of us will stay with the sunshine. and that's because we have the big area of high pressure dominating the forecast. and with this, it is not just today, it is not just tomorrow, it is monday, tuesday, wednesday, and this high pressure system is here to stay for a while. yes, we have chances for showers and thunderstorms, but truthfully, friday looking like the best bet and fla that is certainly a ways away. hour by hour, taking through the the forecast. today, mostly sunny with the chance of showers mainly to the north of the city. note it gets very, very close. so a chance of that happening, and the rest of us, mostly sunny skies. and overnight mostly clear. a very comfortable night. and with humidity levels really starting to increase as we go through the day tomorrow. and so tomorrow, it is mostly sunny. and looking good. and maybe a stray shower again for the north. but we do think tomorrow is an even more dry day than today. and then on monday, a chance again of showers and storms.

this is not widespread opportunity for rain by any stretch. they are more pop-up afternoon showers and storms. the beach forecast looks like this. for today, a warm start. mid-80s. southwest winds 5-10. tomorrow, a warm finish. mid to upper 80s. water temperature 68 to 76 degrees. and low risk of rip currents. a nice change of pace to report. the mountain forecast, 20% chance of a shower or storm today. tomorrow, a hot one and dry. the temperatures are nearing 90 in the mountains. okay, here we go. the extended forecast, today it is 90 and mostly sunny with the chance to the north and overnight, 74 degrees. and mostly clear and mild. and getting a little more muggy tomorrow. and it feels like the mid-90s under mostly sunny skies. and 93 on monday. we will feel like the mid to upper 90s. and we have a chance for showers and storms monday and tuesday. as well as wednesday. thursday right now looks dry. and friday i think is the best bet for wet weather for everybody. and so three days straight, with 90 or above is a heat wave. and right now we are forecasting four days straight and it all hangs on today.

can we make it today? and can we make it on tuesday? >> i'm not each sure, am i rooting for a heat wave or not? i can't really tell. >> we tried once before. it didn't happen. at least for my own personal well-being, i hope we get this one. >> we have to bear the brunt of 90-degree weather we should be able to call it a heat wave. >> i think so. >> we will have to see. >> thank you very much, vanessa. the yankees win. ending the toronto blue jays 11 game winning streak. >> here is otis livingston with the sports update. >> after getting swept by the blue jays last weekend, in the bronx, yankees were trying to return the favor in toronto. beginning last night. half game back with the jays. first place. and just so happened to be going for the 12th straight win. evan nova lost to them last time out. got nicked out again. falling behind 3-0 in the third. it looked like the price was right in toronto. newly acquired david price, he is undefeated for his career at the rogers center. struck out six in 7 and 1/3 innings and left with a 3-1 lead in the eighth and the

to look a little bit more like this. beautiful blue skies. some clouds. but a whole lot of heat for all of us. we will take you live outside and show you what is happening out there right now. looking good across central park. we have sunshine in the city. it is 78 mostly sunny. and winds are calm. and as we look ahead, the 90s are returning, do you like that idea? i hope so. because we have four days with temperatures in the 90s. and the humidity all the while will be creeping back up. and the heat will be peaking on monday. mon, highest humidity, highest temperature, it will feel like the mid to upper 90s up there and we are saying hey, can this be the first heat wave of 2015? it is possible. we need to hit 90 today. and on the back end, so we have a couple of chances here to really make this length mat for the season. but nonetheless -- legitimate for the season. but nonetheless, it is very much possible. and regardless, it is hot the next several days. as far as humidity goes, today will be comfy and tomorrow we

will be feeling it and by monday, we will be really feeling it. the steamiest day of the next seven. on the vortex satellite and radar picture, plenty of clouds to the north of the city. and a few spotty showers as well. and a slight chance of a shower or storm to the north of the city and the rest of us will stay dry today under mostly sunny skies. the dominant feature in the forecast is high pressure. big area of high pressure that stays in place for days and days. i'm not saying that we will be completely without showers or storms because that will happen. we will get some activity out but for the most part, this high pressure system stays put. it is going to be a very stagnant, steamy, forecast. and so for today, getting hotter out there. with winds out of the southwest, and looking good though. with the slight chance of a shower or storm to the north. and tomorrow, a summer sizzler. we will be even hotter than today. a little more humid as well. winds persistently out of the south west. and for monday, hotter and mid to upper 90s and hazy and hot and humid to start your workweek. today, it will be hazy hot. just not so humid. as we look at the beach

forecast. the water temperature is 68 and 76 degrees. and there is a low risk of rip kurns today, that is great news, and warm start at the beach and mid-80s today. and tomorrow, a warm finish. mid to upper 80s. and winds out of the sought west 5-10. nice breeze to keep you cooler. along the coast. and the mountain forecast, there is a 20% chance we will be dealing with some showers. maybe a thunderstorm and it will be warm. mid to upper 80s out there. and tomorrow, just a hot one. and we expect it to stay dry though. and mid-80s to 90 degrees. in the mountains tomorrow. and now your extended forecast here, here we go. for today, it is 90. mostly sunny, with that slight chance, well north of the city for wet weather and overnight, 74. and mostly clear and mild. and becoming a little bit more muggy though tomorrow. and 92 degrees. we will start feeling the humidity under mostly sunny skies. it will feel more like 95. for monday, it is 93 degrees. and we will feel like the mid to upper 90s. and chance of showers and storms that way, and a chance of showers and storms on tuesday. when we are still in the 90s, folks.

so that is four days straight, that would certainly give us the heat wave, after that, temperatures are still on the hot side in the mid to upper 80s. >> possibly the first of the season. >> possibly. >> we are keeping our fingers crossed on this one. >> thank you, vanessa. >> sports this morning, carlos beltran had a huge homer in the 8th inning giving the yankees a big win over the blue jays, here is otis livingston with the sports update. >> getting swept by the blue jays last weekend, in the bronx, the yankees are trying to return the favor in toronto this weekend. half game back for the jays for the first place. and so happened to be going for the 12 the straight last night. evan nova lost the last time out and got nicked up again falling behind 3-0 in the third. the newly acquired dave price. undefeated for the career at the rogers center, as a visitor and as a home player. struck out six in 7 and and a third innings. and the yankees took the lead off of carlos beltran's bat. three-run pop to make it 4-3. meanwhile the last outs took longer than expected.

and that doubled what the giants did. eli manning, out of rhythm with the receivers. so bad, that he had to play four series after going three and out on the first three drives and four for eight, just 22 yards and a 13-point loss. 23-10. pga championship. second round. suspended because of thunderstorms. jason day, matt jones, leading in 9 under par. jon daily nowhere near the lead thanks mainly to one hole. the par three 7th hole. one over par. that was inside the cut line. tee shot. into the water. takes another ball. we have splash-down. another ball. bloop. bloop. before finally hitting the green. but he wasn't done with lake michigan. check this out. so frustrated he will throw his club into the water. story not over though. because a kid in a boat retrieves the club. i have the power. daly three-putted. a 10 on the par three. and misses the cut at 10 over par. i'm otis livingston for cbs 2
