Newark averages one day a year with a high of 100 degrees. Today the city reached triple digits for the 5th straight day, the longest stretch on record.
Sunday had long been expected to knock on the doors of some previous heat records, continuing the week's unrelenting blistering heat and humidity.Whether or not we reach that record depends on if and when storms develop in the afternoon. If they start popping early Sunday afternoon, we'll probably fall short.
It is also expected to stay in the 90s Monday, which would make seven straight days of such heat. That would make this heat wave more than twice as long as the one the city experienced just last week, which in hindsight now seems like a breeze.Check the latest severe weather alerts in your neighborhood.
