Warm air has spread across much of the Northeast, with temperatures expected to soar into the 90s over the weekend. By Friday afternoon, New York City recorded 87 degrees and Philadelphia reached 90 degrees. The hottest day is forecasted for Saturday, with Washington, D.C. likely hitting the mid-90s, while New York, Philadelphia, and Boston could see low 90s.

Meteorologists, including Scott Kleebauer from the Weather Prediction Center, have raised concerns about next week’s heat, predicting it to be more intense and prolonged than this weekend's warmth.
