Here in the Hudson Valley, the high will be at 90 degrees on Monday and around 95 to 100 degrees through the weekend.

"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.

For many days this week, with the humidity, it’s going to feel like it is over 100 degrees, officials say.
