Sudden Summer Forecast: Midwest and Northeast Brace for Heatwave

The sudden shift to summer is due to a surge of warm air moving into the Midwest and Northeast. While the I-95 corridor may experience some moderation due to onshore flow, inland areas are likely to see temperatures climb into the upper 80s and lower 90s.

This heatwave is part of a larger roller-coaster weather pattern, with cooler temperatures expected to return after the cold front passes. However, the overall summer forecast predicts above-average temperatures for much of the contiguous United States. Be sure to minimize direct exposure to the sun and use AC and portable electric fans as we head into the next few days.

How to Prepare:

Who This Affects Most:

The hottest temperatures are expected on Monday and Tuesday, with a cold front bringing relief on Wednesday.

Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible each afternoon. More widespread rain is expected with the cold front on Wednesday.

No, water temperatures are dangerously cold and can cause hypothermia.

The Midwest and Northeast are about to experience a taste of summer with a sudden heatwave. While the heat will be intense, it's expected to be short-lived. Stay safe by staying hydrated, avoiding strenuous activity, and being aware of the risks of cold water immersion. A cold front is coming on Wednesday.
