Weeklong
heat wave
possible
Temps, humidity rising
today, forecasters say
TODD B. BATES @TODDBBATESAPP

If last week felt uncomfortable, get ready for a

much longer hot spell this week.
In fact, Monmouth and Ocean counties may face a
weeklong heat wave, with inland temperatures in the
90s beginning today and possibly lingering into Monday, a forecaster said.
It looks like it gets going (today), said Valerie Meola, a meteorologist in the National Weather Services
Mount Holly Office. We do have forecast highs in the
lower 90s through a good part of the state. Along the
coast, it will be cooler, probably in the mid-80s.
State Climatologist David A. Robinson said were
going to be battling a week to 10 days of above-normal
(temperatures), with vacillating levels of humidity
and a couple of days where things (really are) baking.
The heat will arrive after several days of largely
gorgeous weather with low humidity, which followed
a recent three-day heat wave. Robinson noted that the
hottest weeks of summer tend to be the last two weeks
of July into the first week of August.

Pick any random Tuesday night or Wednesday afternoon over the past six decades, and theres a good
chance around a kitchen table somewhere in New Jersey, The Wippities were sitting down for coffee and
cake.
For 68 years, four lifelong friends, Millie Coughlin
and Anne Tomaro of Manasquan, along with Terry
Perna of Marlboro and Rosalie Petoia of Newark, have
been meeting once a week, every week, without fail.
Nothing ever stopped us from having our meeting, Tomaro said. You have to die to leave this club.
Until now.
