So tomorrow is going to be the peak of it. Temps near 90 degrees feeling more like 100 because of that high humidity. Still quite uncomfortable Wednesday and Thursday gets a little bit better, but the humidity really won't break until late Friday and Saturday. Dew points in the 70s we're closer to even 80 today. We're in that tropical category. This is as humid as it gets this time of the year around Long Island, and we're staying there through Friday, so it's an uncomfortable week. will get a little bit better and it's also not going to be as hot later in the week. We have low clouds around right now, maybe a little bit of fog in the morning. Chance for a passing shower or storm in Suffolk County overnight. We'll wake up to some sun tomorrow. We're heating up quickly. Once we heat up, especially if we get a little bit of a sea breeze, you'll notice the puffy clouds developing in the afternoon. If you hear thunder, make sure you head indoors. There will be some scattered storms around Long Island. Looks like the best chance. Some of them to reach us could be closer to 78 o'clock. They will likely weaken as they track to the east, but any of those storms could bring some quick heavy rain and maybe some minor local street flooding. We'll be watching that for you through the day tomorrow. By Wednesday morning, we're back to the sunshine, warm and humid, and we'll track that chance of a couple of storms here and there through the end of the week. We do have a slight risk for some flooding with any storms that develop tomorrow. We've been seeing that around the tri-state today. So again, we're going to watch that for you throughout the day tomorrow and then we will look, we look forward to better weather. By the weekend, the humidity is lower. My pick this week will be Saturday, so we got to wait a couple of days, but it will be nice, seasonable, 82, mix of sun and clouds and feeling a little bit more comfortable around the area. So tonight it's muggy, 73. We have that thick feel to the air tomorrow. We have sunshine. We're heating up quickly. Temperatures near 90, but it feels more. Like 100, especially from Hempstead to Huntington, Smithtown, West Hampton Beach, Bridgehampton, you're in the 80s, so a little bit of relief from that sea breeze, but still very, very humid out there. High humidity for Wednesday, an isolated storm as possible late. Best chance for some rain could be Thursday. We might get more widespread heavy showers that day. Friday improves and the weekend not bad, sun and clouds. We have good weather as we head into next week with highs.

Summer begins with record-breaking heat wave across tri-state

2Julian Heatwave2025-1

Well, it's official. Every major region across the tri-state has now been in a heat wave, with New York City and White Plains being the latest members that have had 3 days straight of 90 degree temperatures or more, which is required to be in a heat wave, and now joins a company with Long Island, Western Connecticut, and New Jersey, which has had 5 days of 90 degree temperatures or more. Now take a look at how hot things have really been. Remarkable thing is that typically for the first couple of days into summer season temperatures are just around the lower to middle 80s. Now for Long Island and New Jersey they completely shattered that average. 100 degree temperatures, if not even more. New York City, White Plains and Bridgeport were close to it, but seeing the departure from normal, near a 20 degree increase across the board for many of these areas. So it is. Definitely been hot and we've all been feeling it, but the extreme heat and this heat wave will finally break by the time we get to Thursday. Today we're in the 90s with some areas that reached 100. Tomorrow we're expecting the 70s, almost a 20 degree drop in temperature for some areas heading into our Thursday and cooler weather to close out the week. It's been a remarkable start for our summer season with this heat and definitely one for the record books.

Long Islanders working outside seek to stay safe amid extreme heat

Summer heat is tough to deal with for many of us, but when you work outside, it can be even more difficult. News Twelve's Cecilia Dowd shows us how Long Island workers are handling the hot weather. The worst part about this is that no matter what, we have to go out and support our families and keep our customers happy. While it's hotter than hot, people in the landscaping business like Michael Kistais have no choice but to work outside. Michael, who's also a councilman, says in weather like this he's selective about locations, making sure to work in safe environments. Safe clothing, the proper clothing attire, meaning light, hats to protect our heads from the direct sunlight, eating properly prior day, meaning low salt and plenty of H2O. It's kind of hard to hide from the sun when you're a cop on patrol. I think the worst thing is for the patrol officers wearing the vests, the gun belt, and the uniform. That kind of takes its toll, especially when it's when police have to be outside, but also I just know to rotate guys in and out and make sure they get frequent breaks. For those working on the water, you may think, hey, life's a breeze, but they too have to take precautions on days like these. The sun is no less forgiving on the water. I try to make sure everybody stays safe. John Testa is chief of harbor patrol for the city of Glencoe. We can't go out without water on a regular patrol. They'll have like 7 or 8 of these per person. It's very important that you drink water while you're out here. Hats are a big thing. I make sure my guys wear their hats out here. Reporting from Glen Cove and Nassar County, Cecilia Dowd news 12.

If the outside temperature is 100 degrees, the inside of a car can reach around 119 degrees after 10 minutes.
