00:00Sweltering midsummer heat is holding on into September across the plains and all the way to the mid-Atlantic coast
00:06through Friday.
00:07Some of you are going to be 10 to 15 degrees above historical averages and we'll be challenging record highs,
00:12tying a record high Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina,
00:15probably breaking records in Norfolk, Virginia, and also in southern West Virginia in the city of Beckley.
00:20Accu-wether, real field temperatures for many of you are going to be about 105 to 108, 109 degrees.
00:26That will be the way it feels outside after accounting for many different weather variables that lead to the experience
00:32when you step outside.
00:33Saturday, more record-challenging highs.
00:35Now we're a little farther south for some.
00:38Out of West Virginia, more still into North Carolina, though.
00:42So Raleigh and Wilmington, North Carolina, record-challenging highs on Saturday.
00:46Look at Saturday's Accu-wether, real field temperatures, 110 to 112.
00:50Little Rock to Jonesboro, Arkansas.
00:51That's the belly of the heat.
00:53It becomes more restricted into the central U.S. as the east, and especially the northeast, find some relief on
00:58Sunday.
