Looks like AOL Weather is having some issues with their local forecast.* (It's hot in Arkville, but not THAT hot -- Weather Underground puts the current temperature around 81 degrees.)
The heat wave rolling across most of New York State isn't expected to break until Sunday, and Ulster County is under an excessive heat warning from the National Weather Service, with temperatures in the mid-to-high 90s and the heat index expected to reach 103 to 109 degrees. Temperatures like these can be dangerous, especially to small children, the elderly, and people with health conditions, so please be safe out there.
