The Northeast and mid-Atlantic are sizzling, and that could set some daily record highs the next couple of days in some of the nation’s biggest cities, including New York City.

Fortunately, this heat won’t be as extreme as some of the most recent heat waves the area has experienced, but it will continue to be felt through the Saturday along the I-95 corridor.

Just how hot will it be?

For some areas, the heat peaked Friday while others won't truly hit their highest heights until Saturday.

The daily high temperature record was broken in Atlantic City, New Jersey (94 degrees), on Friday.

Highs will reach the lower 90s in places like Washington, D.C., and New York City. Highs will be in the mid to upper 80s for places like Boston and Portland. All in all, temperatures will be running 15-20 degrees above average for much of the I-95 corridor, so finding some shade and a cool place will be key during the heat of the day. 

Daily record highs could fall around New York City, Baltimore and Washington D.C. to name a few. 

Despite temperatures soaring, humidity levels will stay modest. This will keep the hot temperatures more manageable than they would be if the humidity were to climb as well.

When will relief come?

The good news is that the heat will be relatively short-lived. 

Though accompanied by showers and thunderstorms, the interior Northeast and New England will trend less hot by Sunday.

The real relief starts Monday. We will start to see much cooler air arrive for the rest of the I-95 corridor, really dropping those highs by over 10 degrees. 

Monday’s high in Boston will be in the low 70s, after spending a few days in the upper 80s. 

New York City will also feel much better by Monday, with highs in the 70s. 

Consider this your early taste of summer, before that summer sizzle decides to stay.
