I would think the heat index at the very least will still exceed 104 for 2+ hours especialkly if were starting at 90 degrees! So thats why I'm surprised they didnt just continue the heat warning. I'll take their word for it though

I sometimes wonder if KPHI and KOKX are on different wavelengths.

The amazing thing is this heatwave and even the heat that is going on in the Plains is basically a result of pure buildup...we've seen these sort of temps before at 850mb and 700mb but never gotten this warm....the combination of relatively dry conditions as well as very warm ground temps over most of the central U.S. is whats ultimately adding 5-7 degrees to the temps we'd normall see in this setup...even KS and OK is seeing highs of 105 with 850 temps of 22C...that is unheard of...even adding 18 degrees to those 850s only gets you to around 99-100.

Well Upton is predicting a high of 104 in Newark with a maximum heat index of 108 for tomorrow. Yet the heat advisory is in effect with the wording "heat indexes up to 100" and "Heat advisory issued for heat indexes 100-104 for 2+ consecutive hours". What is the exact criteria for heat warnings? I'm assuming its heat indexes above 104 for a couple hours which I don't see being a problem. The heat index is 98 at 4am!

still hasn't dropped below 90 at Newark.. unreal.... i'm down to 76.. 4 degrees cooler than last night.

Newark dropped to 86 at 6am. And back up already at 88 7am. I think they will see 104 today. More clouds today and slightly lower 850mb temps today than yesterday.

Today feels anticlimactic since almost no one should hit their highs from yesterday. Bring back the 80s and low dews!

Temps won't be quite as hot. But some places could still break their records for today:

LOCATION.......RECORD...YEAR....FCST HIGH...FCST MAX HEAT INDEX

NEWARK..........100.....1955.......104..............108........

BRIDGEPORT.......94.....1972**......99..............103........

CENTRAL PARK.....99.....1991.......102..............106........

LA GUARDIA......100.....1955.......102..............105........

JFK.............100.....1972.......100..............105........

ISLIP............95.....1991........99..............103........

Does being out in 100 degree temperatures cause the body internal temperature to rise causing an induced fever >98.6? Isn't internal body core temps above 105 extremely dangerous for human system? How do people survive in 105 temps for more than 15 minutes?

You dont sweat?
