00:00 I'm Ariella Scalise and temperatures
00:02 are heating up in the Northeast
00:04 with heat advisories.
00:05 Even spots like Philadelphia
00:07 excessive heat warning so the
00:09 heat is no joke and it's only
00:11 going to get hotter as we head
00:14 into our Friday Friday afternoon.
00:16 You're accurate.
00:17 The real field temperatures.
00:19 New York City, Boston 100 to 105.
00:21 Meanwhile in Philadelphia,
00:23 you're accurate.
00:24 The real field temperature 105 to 110
00:26 degrees for Friday afternoon,
00:28 so these are the numbers you should
00:31 plan for and dress for if you did
00:33 want to be outside as we head
00:36 into our Friday afternoon.
00:37 But there is some change in the air.
00:40 We're tracking a cold front moving on
00:42 through cooler weather returns behind
00:44 that lower humidity returns behind that.
00:45 That means the nights the mornings
00:47 are going to feel really good,
00:49 and the afternoons we won't be
00:51 dealing with this intense heat,
00:52 but there is something between the
00:54 intense heat and the cool down,
00:56 and it comes in the form of
00:58 thunderstorms. Some of those could
00:59 be strong to severe Pittsburgh,
01:01 Scranton, Boston,
01:01 flooding downpours and localized
01:03 damaging wind are the main threats.
01:04 Winds could be as strong as 60 to 70
01:07 miles per hour. Accuweather local
01:08 storm max up to 80 miles per hour,
01:11 so this will cause travel
01:12 disruptions for Saturday.
01:13 Any outdoor plan Sunday would be the
01:15 better day of the two over the weekend
01:17 because it will be drier and temperatures
01:19 won't be nearly as hot like in New York City.
01:22 92 on Saturday,
01:23 but then we drop to the 80s by
01:25 the time we head into Sunday.
01:27 If you like the way that pattern
01:28 is trending for the weekend,
01:30 then early next week you're going to
01:32 enjoy it too as cooler and less
01:33 humid air sticks around.
