New York is expected to experience damaging thunderstorms today (Friday) and will be hit with extreme heat starting Monday and lasting through Friday. Heat is the number one cause of death for weather-related fatalities in the United States.
Check on your neighbors during this extreme heat event and have water with you to prevent dehydration. Upstate New York is not accustomed to such intense heat, exceeding 100 degrees, with the potential to catch people off guard.
Scorching temperatures are anticipated in New York once Father's Day weekend passes. High pressure and the jet stream patterns will bring the first heatwave of the year, with humidity levels increasing.
Governor Hochul highlighted that in Syracuse, temperatures have not been predicted to be as hot for as long since the 1950s. Residents are advised to expect temperatures exceeding 90 degrees for several days in a row.
