It’s too hot! NJ schools closing early for first week of school
The last day of the week brings the final day of New Jersey's late summer heat wave.
Friday will be one more day of temperatures in the 90s and increased humidity creating a real feel in the low 100s.
It will still be hot inside many classrooms without air conditioning, leading to one more day of early dismissals for many districts.
"Temperatures will start to slide backward Friday. But humidity will stay high. And we have to talk about daily thunderstorm chances through this weekend and next week," New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow said.
