Heat alert issued for much of Upstate NY; it could feel like 99 degrees

Syracuse, N.Y. -- The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for Thursday across much of Upstate New York, where the heat index could reach 99 degrees.
“Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses to occur,” the weather service said.
People can suffer heat stroke if they are outdoors for long periods of time, especially in direct sunlight, when the heat index soars that high.
The temperature in Syracuse on Thursday afternoon is expected to reach 94 degrees. That’s just one degree shy of the July 6 record of 95, set in 2012.
With the oppressive humidity expected Thursday, the heat index could make the air feel like 98 degrees in the Syracuse area and 99 degrees in the Capital Region, the weather service said.
The heat index accounts for the combined effects of temperature and humidity. The human body cools when sweat is pushed through the skin’s pores and evaporates. The higher the humidity, the harder it is for those sweat droplets to evaporate and take heat with them.
The heat will be most intense in urban valley areas like Syracuse, Utica and Albany. It will be cooler at higher elevations, like the Adirondacks and the Catskills. Buffalo will stay in the low 80s thanks to breezes off Lake Erie.
The heat will be as brief as it will be brutal; a cold front on Friday will drop high temperatures into the low to mid 80s for next few days. That front could also produce some thunderstorms Friday and Saturday. Rainfall in the strongest of those storms could be intense enough to cause flash flooding.

When I lived in Southwest Missouri in Eureka that area would get to 100 degrees several times in the summer especially late summer and August. I went to our outdoor rec center on the other side of the woods and went swimming many days. I also volunteered to take care of the property along with another older Brother so I could jump in the pool more often. Only bad side of that job is that I had to do my nursing duty's first so I worked the 7 to 3:30PM shift or 11PM to 7AM. Then one of the Brothers died and he was in charge of all Medical Supplies and I inherited a huge mess. But alas with prayer it got straightened out along with 20,000 cotton balls and tongue depressors that found there way into the incinerator.
In other news the secret service found AOC;s stash of cocaine of all places in the White House hiden in an area where the public tours are help.'
