NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A multi-day extreme heat wave began gripping the New York City area on Wednesday, with highs set to soar near 100 degrees\u2014and RealFeels towards 110\u2014in the days ahead.<\/p>\n

The dangerous heat is the effect of a heat dome that\u2019s parked over the region, trapping hot air and humidity through the weekend.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service issued an Extreme Heat Warning<\/a> from Wednesday afternoon to Friday evening. An Extreme Heat Watch is also in effect until Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

In a weather alert, the NWS warned of a \u201cmulti-day extreme heat event with near record high temperatures and little overnight relief.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis level of heat can be deadly for those without adequate cooling and hydration. Impacts to transportation infrastructure and electrical and water systems are also possible,\u201d the alert said.<\/p>\n

According to AccuWeather, the high will be 95 on Wednesday; 100 on Thursday; 100 on Friday; 95 on Saturday; and 90 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The high humidity will push RealFeel temperatures over 100 degrees most days, with the heat index peaking on Thursday and Friday at around 105 to 110.<\/p>\n

The NYC record high of 100 on Thursday and 103 on Friday\u2014both set during the heat wave of 1966\u2014could be broken, forecasters said.<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said he\u2019s activated a heat emergency plan to open hundreds of cooling centers citywide. As they come online, they will be added here: nyc.gov\/beattheheat<\/a>. There will also be extended pool hours and an expanded outreach of more than 600 workers.<\/p>\n

In addition to the extreme heat, gusty thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon most days, including on the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n

There’s also the potential for life-threatening rip currents along the coast through Thursday evening, just as many people area heading to the beaches, the NWS said<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A multi-day extreme heat wave began gripping the New York City area on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":283612,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[40096,4588,9,56,63,65,64,133],"class_list":["post-283611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-accuweather","tag-heat-wave","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=283611"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/283611\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/283612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=283611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=283611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=283611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
