By Cecilia Levine From Daily Voice

Get the sunglasses and iced coffee ready—New Jersey is in for its hottest stretch since last September, according to AccuWeather.

Temperatures are on the rise across the Northeast this week, with afternoon highs in the 80s from Wednesday through Friday, and possibly pushing 90 degrees on Thursday in places like New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., the weather outlet said.

Even if thermometers don’t hit their peak, increased humidity will make it feel like full-on summer, AccuWeather meteorologists said. AccuWeather RealFeel® temps could reach up to 15 degrees higher than the actual temperature (see weather maps). Temps are expected to peak on Thursday.
