Mark Vogan predicts 100 degrees today for Washington, Baltimore and for the first time since August 2001, in Philadelphia
It's all about taking it EASY and staying in the shade between noon until 5pm if you can as the heat is on throughout the entire region from the Carolinas, Virginia all the way northeast into southern New England, the place to be for some sort of relief from the blast-furnace heat will be the coast where sea breezes should kick in and hold highs to the upper 80s along the Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Long Island beaches. However head just inland perhaps as little as a mile or two and your likely to see highs reach the upper 90s with spots today making the century mark in such locales as Atlantic City, Newark, Del even at surprising locales that sit right beside the Atlantic Ocean. You may find that ocean side communities experience an onshiore breeze, whilst on the inland side of these coastal towns, a west wind is blowing the hot air from the interior, temperatures may vary by as much as 10-degrees within 1-2 miles!
As for the big cities I'm calling for 100 at Washington, Baltimore & Philadelphia, YES PHILADELPHIA which hasn't seen 100 since August 9, 2001. As for New York City, highs should top 100 at both Newark and LaGuardia which have lots of concrete and therefore is easier to see 100. Where it may not quite touch 100 yet is Central Park in Midtown Manhattan. I think a high of 97 will be had there today, but look out tomorrow or Wednesday! Up to Hartford, Conn, today should warm to 98 and Boston 96, though an easterly wind may kick in midafternoon either slowing down the heating process produced by a westerly wind or will cut it off completely, if that east wind doesn't kick in we may see highs push 98 to 99 even in Boston later this afternoon... Lows tonight range from the mid-70s from Boston to Hartford, 77-80 for the Greater New York area and around 80-81 from Philadelphia down to Washington DC.

98 degrees at Central Park, Another 101 at Newark International.. Most places 100 tomorrow?
It was a scorcher today! Yet another 101 degrees reported at Newark Airport whilst it appears that Central Park in Midtown Manhattan reached at least 98 degrees and around 97-98 at Philadelphia. Baltimore in sitting currently at 99 so it will be interesting to see whether Baltimore reaches the century mark before the air commences it's slow cooldown at sunset.
I had a glance at dew points and from DC to New York and surrounding, it's only in the mid-50s which is relatively dry, therefore we should be able to see lows drop to perhaps 80 throughout the cities, HOWEVER over the next 48 hours, we are likely to see dew points creep into the 70s or at least upper 60s and with highs likely peaking tomorrow with an expected high of AT LEAST 100 from DC all the way to New York's Central Park, lows may appraoch the warmest ever highest minimum values on record as I do expect by Wednesday night into Thursday morning some spots to only fall to around 85 degrees for the LOW!
forecast highs for tomorrow:
Washington DC 102
Baltimore 102
Philadelphia 102
Newark 104
Central Park 100
