00:00We got some heat building into the Northeast Thursday. Thursday's probably the peak. Thursday and Friday, certainly Thursday and Friday,
00:07a two-day peak here for this tremendous heat wave building into the Northeast, the likes of which we only
00:12see once every three or four years, at least when we look at the historical record.
00:16And Thursday, look at these AccuWeather real field temperatures. Nasty. 113 in Richmond, 111 in Washington, D.C. It's going
00:23to feel sweltering in Detroit. That's the way it'll feel outside based on a variety of different factors from the
00:28AccuWeather real field temperature formula.
00:31But when it comes to the actual air temp, we're going to be up near record territory. Here are the
00:35records for July 2nd. We expect to tie the record for July 2nd in Boston, matching that in 1963.
00:40New York City, we haven't been to 100 since 2012. We've been there 60 times in history, but not since
00:462012. Well, there have been two other July 2nds in which New York City hit 100 in Central Park, 1901,
00:521966. We may add 2026 to that list.
00:55Philly, almost to the record from 125 years ago for January 2nd into D.C. Record breaker, breaking the record
01:03of 1898 for hottest July 2nd. Impressive.
01:07There will be some scattered storms that begin to chip away at the heat wave, especially on July 4th, but
01:12it could impact your outdoor plans.
