Excessive heat and oppressive humidity created dangerous weather conditions across the New York area Saturday.

The heat index reached well into the triple digits across the area, with highs reaching the upper 90s across the Eyewitness News viewing area and even the low 100s in New Jersey. New York City broke a record when it hit 97 debrees in Central Park. Newark also broke a record at 99, and even an ocean breeze couldn’t cool off Seaside Heights, which topped out at 99 as well.

Most of the viewing area remains under a heat advisory until 6:00 Sunday night.

Sunday’s highs were expected to reach into the low to mid 90s, with continued high humidity, but a cold front will pass through the region late in the day, with cooler temperatures and less humidity expected by Monday.
