Heat Advisories in Effect for Today and Friday

Significant heat is expected to build today and Friday. Hot temperatures and high humidity will allow heat index values to reach into the lower to mid 90s this afternoon and again Friday afternoon in the Champlain Valley and Connecticut River Valley. Heat index values elsewhere will be in the upper 80s to low 90s. Read More >

Air temperatures in the 80s–low 90s, with dew points in the 60s–low 70s, will result in Dangerous Heat Index values. The wider, deeper valleys of VT and the Champlain Valley of NY will see mid 90s to around 100. Elsewhere, Heat Index values will still be dangerously hot at 90–95 degrees. All of the region should take proper heat precautions. https://www.weather.gov/safety/heat
