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.

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.
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.
Offset to this will be higher dews. So while EXTREME temperatures are pretty much off the table some nasty HI readings and sultry overnights are upcoming. Max HI 105-110, maybe a little above that (112?),
Hopeful for at least some brightening if not breaks in the clouds later this afternoon. What a run of weather for mid June.
