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.
