Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Dangerous heat overtakes the tri-state area Monday, bringing brutal heat and feels-like temperatures above 100 over a three-day stretch that is only expected to worsen by the day.

The National Weather Service has issued severe thunderstorm warnings for New York City and parts of the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut, with expected wind gusts of up to 70 mph and potential hail.

The Big Apple baked Friday under near-record temperatures that felt like up to 106 degrees — with severe thunderstorms and damaging winds potentially disrupting the evening commute.

Scattered storms are back for Sunday afternoon, primarily between 1 and 7 p.m. Any activity eyeing the tri-state through the afternoon and evening could bring severe storms, damaging winds and flash flooding.

Dangerous heat, as well as the threat of severe weather, is expected to make a triumphant return to NYC. Here's what you can expect on Friday.

A slow-moving warm front will be overspreading Western New York tonight. This will make it feel tropical for the remainder of the weekend and in the short-term, these higher dew points will be serving as fuel for any thunderstorms.

Flood warnings have been issued for Kansas and Missouri as Tomahawk and Brush Creeks rise in water levels. This live blog is now closed.
