It is another hot and humid day today for us all to unfortunately have to deal with. The temperatures will climb into the low 90s but could feel around 100 degrees later today. It is the combination of heat and humidity that will make it feel very uncomfortable to be out and about in and downright dangerous if you are doing anything strenuous. Avoid any significant activity, such as running, jogging, and heavy lifting with these types of conditions. There is also an air quality alert in effect for South Westchester County through the day today. Those with breathing and heart health issues are advised to take it easy through the day, especially in the afternoon hours.
As the heat and humidity climb, so will the storm threat potential. There is a widespread threat of severe weather later today, between 2 - 10 p.m. all across the Hudson Valley. The main threat will be damaging wind gusts, but we could also see some small hail. Downpours will be coming along with any storm and that may reduce visibility briefly.
Conditions will improve going into the weekend ahead but sadly they won't stay that way all weekend long. Saturday is trending to be warm, more comfortable and with sunny skies. While Sunday sees another system coming our way, with a threat of rain late in the day. The timing of that next round wet weather is between 5 - 10 p.m.
