>>> AFTER A HOT AND STICKY WEEKEND, WE DO HAVE A BREAK FROM THE EXTREME TEMPERATURES TODAY. JOHN ELLIOTT IS HERE WITH YOUR FIRST ALERT FORECAST. >> IT FEELS SO MUCH BETTER. MARY MAKES A GREAT POINT. THOSE REAL FEEL NUMBERS OF 100 TO 105, YEAH, BIG CHANGES. THERE IS A CHANCE OF A DROP OR TWO NORTH AND WEST. 76 DEGREES, WIND OUT OF THE WEST-NORTHWEST AT 15. WE SHOULD SEE GUSTS UP TO 40 TODAY. SUITE HEAT RELIEF, WINDY AND LESS HUMID. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE FIRE SAFE AND SMART. IF YOU SEE ANYTHING, CALL IN QUICKLY. WE HAD A FOUR-DAY HEATWAVE. I KNOW IT WAS STRESSFUL. I KNOW IT WAS

OPPRESSIVE WITH THOSE HIGH DEWPOINTS. IT WAS WORSE FOR OTHER PARTS OF THE AREA. NEWARK HAD A SEVEN-DAY HEATWAVE. SUNDAY SET A RECORD OF 99, FEELING LIKE 104. THE OTHER THING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS HOW DRY IT HAS BEEN. THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN MIDWEEK. WE HAVE QUITE A DEFICIT JUST FOR JUNE. I KNOW THE LAWN IS BROWN. I KNOW THE PLANTS ARE THIRSTY. THE CHANCE FOR RAIN IS SPEAKING ON THURSDAY. IT IS NOT THE KIND OF SOAKING RAIN WE NEED, BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE VIOLENT. A STRAY SHOWERS POSSIBLE TODAY, A 10% TO 20% CHANCE. THE BEST CANDIDATES WILL BE NORTH. THE

DEWPOINTS ARE LOW, SO IT IS NOT CONDUCIVE FOR MUCH COVERAGE THIS AFTERNOON. NICE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT FOR THAT WANING STRAWBERRY MOON. TUESDAY WILL BE HOT, JUST NOT AS HUMID. WEDNESDAY WILL BE BOTH HOT AND HUMID. THE CONCERN IS GOING TO BE, LOOK AT THE COVERAGE. THOSE BRIGHTER COLORS IMMEDIATELY GRAB YOUR ATTENTION. THEY SPEAK TO THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER. THAT IS WHY DEFINITELY WEDNESDAY IS GOING TO BE THE WORST OF THE WEEK. THE GOOD NEWS IS, FRIDAY IS GOING TO BE THE BEST OF THE WEEK. WE ARE GOING TO SEE BETTER WEATHER BY FRIDAY. YOUR DAY TODAY, 83. TUESDAY, REMEMBER, IT IS HOT,

BUT NOT AS HUMID. WEDNESDAY, HOT AND HUMID. UNLIKE THE LAST FEW STORM ACRES WE HAVE SEEN, THIS IS ACTUALLY A FRONT THAT WILL GET THE NUMBERS BACK IN LINE ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. NUMBERS WILL BE SEASONABLE WITH LESS HUMIDITY. AFTER A QUICK WARM-UP WITH

First Alert Weather: Windy and less humid in Tri-State Area
