Mercer County, NJ Opening Cooling Stations For Extreme Heat Wave

Get ready, it's going to be hot, really hot. The entire area is under an extreme heat warning as of noon today (Wednesday, July 1) and there's an air quality alert for the next few days...until Saturday.

Temperatures are going to soar past 100 in New Jersey until Saturday

Meteorologist Dan Zarrow warns it's going to be in the 100s and feel like 110+ at times with the humidity. Yuck. I'm sure I'm not the only one hoping my air conditioning can keep up and terrified it's going to break from running so much.
