TURNING HOT AGAIN AND WET STRETCH AHEAD

Heat will continue to build Thursday and Friday with most of the area warming well into the 80s. Some inland towns will nudge the low 90s Thursday. An approaching front will be the focus for showers and thunderstorms Friday afternoon and night. The forecast has changed significantly from Saturday for the weekend and early next week. It's looking like low pressure will cut off from the steering currents of the jet stream and park itself over us or near us into early next week. That means we'll be in for an extended period of wet and cool conditions in the northeast.
