Current temps / heat index from NJ WXNET and max temps so far today.

Good luck! I do hope you can find something.

Hence why I said "nearing" the 1995 levels.

Some of these local HI readings are nearing the suffocating levels of the 1995 heat wave. Going to be a stiflingly hot night coming up especially in the urban areas.

Some of these local HI readings are getting close to the suffocating heat of 1995.

Central air doing it's thing. Very comfortable 68 degrees on the first floor. Unit on second floor is set to 80 and kicking on and off to keep it at 80. It is hot out there.

Heat Index is the story today. Temperatures are hot for sure but not extreme. Noteworthy though to see m/u 90's far NW NJ. That is as impressive as anything.

Currently 85 here and swamp ass muggy under partly sunny skies. Full clearing now moving SE quickly from NW Sussex County. Should be totally sunny here within the next 60-90 minutes. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_PA2/loop60v.html

Based on latest radar / satellite not expecting much sun until 1:00 P.M. or so. Forecast highs in the m/u 90's going to take a hit. Best case is low 90's late afternoon in the hottest spots? Going to be hot and humid no matter later on. Just light showers and few rumbles of thunder here so far this morning but that is one thick cloud deck. Been extremely dark since around 8am. Per radar heaviest rains and possible severe mainly over NEPA.

Looks like max was 91 degrees at 2:25.

Think valid concern especially in the large inner cities and especially with the elderly with minimal resources and support systems to get them to safety. Overnight lows and associated HI readings will be brutal if not prepared. Would not be surprised to see HI readings of 110 or even a bit higher at some point during this hot period. Think most max temperatures top out in the 97 - 102 range but with dews in the m/u 60's to near 70 it will be beastly hot if no a/c, again especially in the inner cities. Believe all warnings justified and hopefully cities will open cooling centers starting tomorrow. Tuesday for sure looks like the worst of it area wide.

Had not a thing here. One storm went to my NW and one slid south. Not that I need or want anymore rain right now.

Just issued.
