"Starting on Tuesday and lasting for about a week, high temperatures are expected to reach the mid to upper 90s, with an outside chance at 100 degrees — something that has only happened twice on record during the month of June in the Hudson Valley," Hudson Valley weather expert Ben Noll wrote on Facebook.
