First Alert Forecast: Dangerous heat returns to Tri-State Area

NEW YORK -- Extreme heat returned Sunday and it's going to get hotter over the next few days as we have another heat wave on the way.

Temps on Sunday climbed into the low 90s, but feltmore like the mid and upper 90s. A pop-up shower or storm remains possible as things heat up.

Beach forecast

If you're headed to the beach, there is a moderate to high rip current risk for Long Island and low risk for New Jersey. Be sure to use plenty of sunscreen as there is a burn time of under 15 minutes on Sunday.

Heat index could soar over 100 degrees

We've issued a Yellow Alert starting Monday and continuing through Wednesday.

Actual temps will be in the mid 90s and even get close to 100 degrees inland. Peak heat indices will soar into the 105-110 range.

Of course, along with the hazy, hot, humid weather, a stray shower or thunderstorm is possible in the afternoon each day.

Strong storms possible

Wednesday afternoon and evening look to have the best chance for some more widespread showers and storms, some of which could be strong.

That would be associated with a cold front that will hopefully help knock down the excessive humidity by the end of the week.

Enjoy your Sunday and stay cool this week!
