NJ Weather: Hazardous Outlook, 105 Degrees For Summer's Last Gasp

You're going to get a mostly sunny day for the unofficial last day of summer on Labor Day. But it may not be a pleasant day for the beach.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook as the heat index is supposed to top 100 degrees again on Monday. A heat advisory is also in effect for much of the state with actual temperatures in the low to mid-90s.

The worst of it is expected to come around 2 p.m. on Monday. On Tuesday, it'll be more of the same, with the heat index topping 100 degrees in many places at 2 p.m.

The heat index already hit 105 in some parts of the state on Monday. Here's where:

Here are the alerted areas:

Much of the first week of September will feel like the middle of July in the eastern and central United States as temperatures soar and high humidity levels hold on, according to AccuWeather. A large high pressure system, known as the Bermuda High, will hold firm over the East this week.

Unlike the setup that brought high humidity and frequent torrential downpours to much of the region during July and August, many areas from the Ohio Valley to the Carolinas, mid-Atlantic and New England coasts will be free of rain most of the time this week with some exceptions, according to AccuWeather.

"Areas at highest risk of experiencing a spotty afternoon thunderstorm on Labor Day are across the central Appalachians," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said in an AccuWeather release. "Thunderstorms will also push into northern New England."

Here is the forecast:

• Labor Day: Patchy fog before 10am. Otherwise, cloudy early, then becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 90. West wind 3 to 6 mph.
• Monday night: Patchy fog after 10pm. Otherwise, partly cloudy, with a low around 72. Southwest wind around 5 mph.
