chicago and boston, same for you. we are staying in the 70s into the upcoming workweek. there's hope for the upcoming days ahead. unfortunately, across the southwest, sunday and into monday, temperatures are still well above normal by at least five degrees. there is hope in the future. monday and tuesday, seeing numbers taper back a bit. sunday here in phoenix, 111 degrees. the problem with that is now we are adding to the consecutive days where our temperatures have been over 100. 30 turns to 31. monday into tuesday, starting to see relief thanks to the monsoonal rains setting up. we will top out at 107 monday, 106 on tuesday which is where we should be. it doesn't last long. we clear out the skies for phoenix and right back up to 115 degrees by the time we get into the weekend. that heat dome, that area of high pressure where it's trapping all that warm, moist ocean air scoots eat.
boston. many of us right about where we should be, in the low to mid 80s and upper 70s. but the southwest still dealing with the brutal heat for now. just as you heard isabelle say, give it a day and it will be a little bit better, closer to normal. places like phoenix hit 111 degrees today, still adding to the days above 110. here we are monday and tuesday finally getting to cool down. but it doesn't last long, it will ramp up. the sun shines and we're back up to about 115 degrees in phoenix as we get into your upcoming weekend. so the southeast, yes. this is where it gets really rough. our temperatures are topping out in the triple digits, factor in dew points, it feels much hotter. and that's what matters, fred. our temperatures, what it feels like, your heat index values pushing nearly 107 degrees in new orleans. >> that's brutal.
we wind up in dallas and monroe, louisiana, birmingham, new orleans, dealing with temperatures five to ten degrees above normal as well. we are in the triple digits. much of us across the southeast dealing with dew points that measurement of moisture near the surface over 70. when that's factored in with temperatures in the triple digits, it feels much hotter. new orleans, you have a heat index of 107. same for jacksonville. excessive heat warnings in effect up into parts of the central plains, back now into new orleans and the florida panhandle. the rest of the lower mississippi valley, down across the southeast and all of florida under heat advisories. >> thank you. joining us now is the mayor of phoenix where it has been over 110 degrees for 30 days straight. mayor, thank you for joining us. i know you are used to hot weather there in the desert. but how has this incredible heat wave impacted your community?
coast. there in the middle, a in that's where the heat is going to be at its absolute worse. really no relief here. i'm taking you from your sub forecast, would love to tell you these numbers are going to drop back down in the next few days, but they will not. taking you into, ultimately, monday and tuesday, 107 in houston, those numbers just continue to climb, you're looking aing at 1 # # is in new orleans for tuesday, something actually very similar for folks on wednesday. so this extreme heat that folks are dealing with, it is going to be continuing. you think maybe i can hop out into the ocean and cool off a little bit. well, the temperatures off the gulf in central florida getting up close to 90 degrees. real extreme heat there in the southern half of florida. sunday across the rest of the country just continuing to be very warm across the southern tier, aishah, very warm in the middle of the country. but i'll tell you what, these folks up here in the northeast, they are happy to cool off just
heat dome. who will be getting baked and who will see some relief? >> i was going to say the easier question may be who is not going to see the extreme heat. yes, the heat dome is really taking up much of the country. we have seen it shift east and it will continue the trend before finally starting to shift a little bit farther southward. but this is really where a lot of this intense heat is coming from. you have all of these excessive heat warnings and heat advisories out for much of the midwest, northeast, but we do also still have some across portions of the southwestern tier as well. the heat index well into the triple digits. you are talking 104 in chicago, 110 for feels like it in cincinnati. even 107 for washington, d.c. one area however that is finally seeing the heat index drop below triple digits for the first time in 46 days was miami. yesterday not quite meeting the threshold thanks to cloud cover and showers and thunderstorms in the area. but the heat itself is still
