According to the FOX Forecast Center, a ridge of high pressure will build over the eastern half of the country while the jet stream pushes northward. That will set the stage for the heat to build in and humidity to increase.
The Northeast will feel the heat Tuesday, and widespread temperatures in the 90s are expected.
