Get ready for a Saturday scorcher as temperatures could top 100 in Central Park.
The heat could feel as strong as 106 degrees in the sun and heat advisories and warnings have been posted for the tri-state.
The all-time record high for Central Park is 106 degrees. It might not get that high in the park, but it is expected near if not top 100 degrees. Temperatures in New Jersey are expected to surpass the 100-degree mark.

Strong to severe thunderstorms forecast for Saturday evening will bring relief to the heat, ending the heat wave for a few days.
