NEW YORK — Temperatures are expected to soar into the mid- and upper-90s across much of the Northeast on Saturday and into Sunday -- about 20 degrees higher than is typical for this time of year for some of the region.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu declared a heat emergency for Saturday and Sunday due to the unseasonably high temperatures and humid weather forecasted.
"We're working quickly to make sure all of our Boston residents and families are protected during this weekend's extremely hot weather," Wu said in a statement."As we head into summer, it is clear that earlier, more frequent extreme heat days from a changing climate are a risk to our health and communities."
This year's Preakness Stakes will be the hottest in recent memory, with forecasted high temperatures in the mid-90s and heat indices approaching 100 in Baltimore on Saturday. The temperature is usually in the mid-70s this time of year.
