Extreme Heat Persists in Mid-Atlantic, Storms Expected to Bring Relief
The Mid-Atlantic region is enduring another day of extreme heat, with temperatures ranging from 91°F to 96°F (33°C to 35.5°C) from Boston to Raleigh, North Carolina. On Tuesday, New Jersey recorded a high of 101°F (38.3°C), nearing the all-time May record of 102°F (38.9°C) set in 1895. A heat advisory remains in effect for New York City, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has urged residents to stay hydrated and utilize cooling centers. Relief is expected as a storm system moves into the Northeast by late Wednesday, bringing significant cooling. Temperatures are forecast to drop by over 20°F (11°C) on Thursday and Friday. However, the rain is expected to linger, potentially leading to a wet Memorial Day weekend for some areas.
