Call it a jet stream jam. Or perhaps it’s the tears of Sol. In any case, keep those helmets securely fastened as the current Heat Dome that’s overing over the Hudson Valley, and most of the United States, is due to continue into the coming week. The weather pattern is expected to break in a cacophony of stormy skies at week’s end.

Temperatures in the Hudson Valley should stagger along in the low to mid 90s through Thursday. The Heat Dome is caused by the Jet Stream in Canada passing across the Canada/U.S. border, which is preventing cooler norther air from pushing southward.

Why the “heat dome” will scorch nearly the entire U.S. this weekend. https://t.co/4ZJs1fFAIR pic.twitter.com/70sGYq4mFd
