New York City and most of the U.S. East Coast face more steamy weather before cooler air arrives late in the week.
Central Park could reach 96 degrees Fahrenheit (36 Celsius), one degree shy of a record for the date set last in 1999, according to the National Weather Service. Along the East Coast, high temperatures and humidity could make conditions feel much hotter, and heat advisories stretch from Maine to South Carolina.
