You have these giant containers full of who knows what were finding out. The tenth biggest port in the world. So a huge facility. Thats terrible. They sprayed the fire and exacerbated by the water, chemical reactions. The water gets there because human beings are there and thousand we have 112 firefighters missing or unaccounted for. There are miracle stories. They found survivors. Its been 48 hours so maybe they can still find a few people. A lot of fingers crossed, thats for sure. Those pictures look just like newark port on jersey in jersey city on the water. We have our own heat around here. Definitely not caused by any fires but certainly steaming. Yesterday we had 92 degrees. And were going to flirt with records here over the next couple of days. Temperatures in the middle 90s for the forecast.

Likely taking their Water Bottles with them, their umbrellas, finding ways to stay cool. A bit of a haze over the battery right now. You can see all the way to one world trade. We check the numbers in central park. 80 degrees already. Humidity is at 56 . Southwest winds at 5 miles an hour. Pressure is on the rise. You look back in the history books and our 30year climate average is 83 so were above that. We get the normals by looking at extremes. The record for this date 96 degrees set back in 1944. We could get close to that number today. East hampton 77 for you. Hauppauge 84. Great neck up to 80 degrees. Down the shore 77 for belmar. Inland new jersey almost 80 for newark. Monticello, overnight low of 59. Theyre already up to 70 degrees. Its going to be a quick climb. A reminder that dew points once they get 65 to 70 degrees, look here on the map. Whenever area youre closest to, theyre at a 70degree dew point. We put that on the scale. That brings us to oppressive so already feeling uncomfortable and very sticky out there with the dew points so close to the actual air temperatures. Radar and satellite picture does show High Pressure in control. So the entire east coast looking good. Hardly a cloud around here. To get any shade really is going to be another hot one and temperatures for northwest new jersey could be in the low 90s as early as 2 00 or 3 00 this afternoon giving us a hot evening ahead as well. So this air mass coming up from the south, very tropical. Hot temperatures along with high humidity. 94 will be the high today. Then tomorrow we go into the 96 degree range. That puts us above the record for this time of year. If youre still trying to get away and find a way to stay cool, the catskills will be hot but 89 for the hamptons of the jersey shore 85. You can get up there right along the water line, the shore, the beaches, thats where its going to be coolest. We think that the futurecast highest heat index will be late tomorrow into the early evening. So we play this one near the records for the next couple of days. 94 this afternoon. 96 tomorrow. 93 on tuesday. An afternoon shower or thunderstorm possible but still siz ripping. Wednesday and thursday we sizzling. Wednesday and thursday we bring it down to the upper 80s. No end in sight. Back to the 90s on friday and saturday. So the sevenday forecast shows the weak front coming through wednesday and thursday. There is the potential it could get a little stronger and give us some mid week cooldown but at this point it doesnt look like it does much to take the temperatures down. So its hot. Thats summer.
