Our hottest stretch of weather in several years is expected over the next few days

News 12 meteorologists said feel-like temperatures could climb to nearly 105 degrees. Extreme temperatures will persist through Tuesday night, with some cooler air expected on Wednesday, although it will still be dangerously hot.

Beaches across the island are expected to be a little busier than usual for those looking to take a break from the heat by the ocean breeze or in the water.
