31. Saratoga Springs NY is at 93 with 113 heat index.
Thankfully, the operators of the race track closed it down today, something that has never happened before due to the heat.

We needs some of this:

46. RDU - 97° HI 107°
Might even get to 110°! today!

Wednesday: Excessive heat and humidity with highs near 100! Heat index values will reach or exceed 110. An Excessive Heat Warning is in effect. This could very well end up being the hottest day of the Summer of 2006. Like the last couple of days, there could be a few isolated afternoon or evening showers, but the area affected by these showers will be minimal.

Wednesday Night: Fair, warm and muggy. Lows in the mid 70s.

Thursday: Hazy sunshine and very hot. Highs near 100. Heat index 110 or hotter. An Excessive Heat Warning will be in effect again today. Once again, an isolated afternoon shower cannot be ruled out.

Thursday Night: Warm and sultry with lows in the mid 70s.
