Forecasters Say New York State’s First Heatwave of the Year Will Be Here Soon

While the week has started off with below normal temperatures across New York's Hudson Valley, meteorologists say things will warm up significantly by late week just in time for the official start of summer. Highs by the weekend are expected to climb well into the 80s, according to The Weather Channel.

However, forecasts predict it will heat up even further by early next week, bringing in the area's first heatwave of the year.

According to Extreme Weather Watch, the last time it was 100 or above in the area was July 22, 2011, when it reached 102 F degrees in Poughkeepsie.
