According to the National Weather Service in New York, an extreme heat warning remains in effect for NYC, northeast New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley, and inland Connecticut from 12 p.m. Sunday through 8 p.m. Tuesday. A heat advisory is also in place for western Long Island and coastal Connecticut, where heat indices will approach 105°F.
