While dangerous heat will hold in the South, a dose of hot and humid conditions will reach the Ohio Valley and Northeast this weekend and into next week.
A large and strong area of high pressure anchored over the South Central states will bulge enough to send near-90-degree Fahrenheit air northward.
The combination of heat, high humidity, sunshine and light winds could pose problems for those partaking in extended strenuous physical activity and those with respiratory problems.

Much of New England will stop short of 90. However, highs will reach or exceed 80 in many areas with RealFeel Temperatures well into the 80s and middle 90s.
The warmth will allow some people to hit the beach or hang out at the pool.
The only deterrent to non-strenuous outdoor activity will be the threat for thunderstorms.
The bulk of the storms will occur north of Tennessee and North Carolina as well as over Florida, with a few exceptions.
In much of the Southeast states, actual temperatures will not be quite as extreme as that of the second half of June. However, the combination of actual temperatures reaching well into the 90s, high humidity, little wind and strong mid-July sunshine will push RealFeel Temperatures to well over 100.
Cities in the Southeast set to broil into next week include Atlanta; Nashville; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North Carolina; Columbia; South Carolina; and Richmond, Virginia.
AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures From Wednesday, July 15, 2015
Over the next several days the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex is likely to reach 100 for the first time this year and could do so on multiple dates. There have only been a handful of years where the temperature has not hit 100 in Dallas since the late 1800s.

It's
about time! This summer was looking like one of the coldest on record
around here. Though it might've hit 90 a couple of times in NYC,up here
in the suburbs the closest we got is a couple of days that it hit 88
degrees either in White Plains or Yonkers and today it was 75 degrees IN
MID-JULY. Usually at this time of year for it to be 75 for a high it
has to be raining and/or thunderstorming and cloudy most of the day yet
we had wall-to-wall sunshine today and it still only got to 75 or 76
degrees. Proves that the Jet-stream is hanging too far to the south this
year to be normal,allowing unseasonably cool, Canadian air to come in.
To use a popular term that's been bambied about lately, we shouldn't be
having Polar Vortexes in the middle of the summer. Add in the
frigid,brutally cold winter of 2014-15 and 2015 is looking to be one of
the coldest years on record for this area, if the second half of this summer doesn't end up being a real sizzler around here..

Ah

over there's plenty of time to reach the 90s even through September

I
read "Coolest Summer Ever" on the ad and it scared me at first, then I
realized "Oh, it's just for Disney World. Nothing to do with the
weather".
A few NYC weather facts:
(1) We haven't seen 90 in 23 days (and it's mid-July).
(2) We haven't had a heatwave in 2 years.
(3) We're on track for the fewest number of 90-degree days in recorded history.
