Add The New York Post on GoogleA wave of thunderstorms and hail could hammer the Big Apple on the Fourth of July as a vicious five-day heat dome cooks revelers in nearly 100-degree swelter – making the holiday the hottest in nearly 20 years.
Independence Day festivities Saturday afternoon and evening are in the crosshairs of the potential torrential rains, damaging winds and hail as temperatures are set to hit 95 degrees – the hottest July 4 since 2010, when the city baked under a blistering 96 degrees, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Matt Benz told The Post on Tuesday.
Last year, Gotham rang in the Fourth under 83-degree heat.

Benz said this holiday’s wet, humid nightmare is expected to begin sometime Friday night and keep it up through the weekend.
“When these heat waves start to break down, they tend to unleash thunderstorms, but the timing – especially this far out – is difficult to pin down,” he said, adding that forecasters are currently monitoring related storm systems in Canada.
“We’re still a ways out, but our forecast, at least for Saturday, we’re calling for a 40% chance of rain.”

The potential downpours are set to arrive at the tail end of a brutal heat wave that will scorch New York City with 95-degree heat Wednesday and around 100 Thursday and Friday before easing into the low 90s on Sunday.
Real-feel temperatures will hover between 105 and 110 degrees in the afternoons during the five-day stretch, as scorching conditions and humidity surge, according to AccuWeather.

Temperatures will only drop to around 80 degrees overnight during the heat dome.
“That’s what will make this especially dangerous,” Benz said.
“We focus on the high temperatures, but it’s the overnights, especially if you don’t have AC, where it just becomes tight, like when we’re sleeping.”
6
Benz urged people – especially Fourth of July crowds – to drink plenty of water when outdoors, watch the forecast, conserve energy and stay inside when possible.
Large-scale events are taking place in and around the city as part of the celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Highlights include Saturday’s Sail4th 250 & Macy’s Fireworks up the Hudson, which will bring crowds to the waterfront in Manhattan, Brooklyn and New Jersey.

The National Weather Service has issued an extreme heat watch from noon Wednesday through 9 p.m. Saturday in New York City, the Lower Hudson Valley, Long Island, northern New Jersey and western Connecticut.
An extreme-heat warning was also issued from noon through 9 p.m. Wednesday.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the state is also closely monitoring the heat wave and coordinating efforts involving cooling centers while watching the state’s electrical grid.
6
“This week will bring dangerous heat all across the state, and my administration is taking action to ensure New Yorkers can safely enjoy our historic summer of activities,” Hochul said in a press release.
“New Yorkers should take the proper precautions to protect themselves and their families by staying hydrated, limiting time outdoors, and monitoring your local forecast. I also encourage everyone to check in on those most vulnerable and our elderly neighbors.”

Add The New York Post on GoogleUkraine hit Moscow with a large-scale drone attack overnight, striking one of the Russian capital’s largest satellite communication centers for the second time in a week, officials said.
Kyiv fired more than 60 drones at Moscow late Monday as part of a large wave of attacks over the border that saw Russia scramble to take out 419 drones across 18 regions.
The attack struck Moscow’s Dubna communication center, which sits 310 miles past the border, for yet another time.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the center served as a “reconnaissance and for coordinating the activity of Russia’s occupation contingent in Ukraine.
“Recently, our Defense Forces of Ukraine already reached four such Russian centers, not only in the Moscow region but also in the Vladimir region,” Zelensky wrote on X.

“Step by step, we are implementing our plan of long-range sanctions and making it as difficult as possible for the aggressor state to carry out its invasion operations against Ukraine and the occupation of our territories.”
Ukraine has ramped up its pressure campaign against the Kremlin this year, with drone attacks in Moscow becoming more and more common and spurring discontent among Russians over dictator Vladimir Putin’s war.

The strikes have been heavily focused on Russia’s oil and energy infrastructure, with Putin forced to admit Monday that the country was facing fuel shortages because of his war against Ukraine.
The intense strikes have reportedly begun to whittle away part of Moscow’s defenses, with the Ukrainian military attributing a hole in the “enemy’s air defense system” for successful strikes on the capital and St. Petersburg.
The Kremlin slammed the latest attacks on Moscow, telling reporters that the drone assault led to the deaths of civilians, including children.
Moscow regional official Andrey Vorobyov said a 6-month-old baby was killed Tuesday when a drone crashed into a home southeast of the capital.

Jalen Ramsey Points Out What Makes Deion Sanders Different
Jalen Ramsey Points Out What Makes Deion Sanders Different
A few Colorado Buffaloes heard from NFL cornerback Jalen Ramsey about what makes Coach Prime different during their summer leadership retreat.Liam Howard|
In this story:
Colorado BuffaloesThe Colorado Buffaloes took a leadership retreat to coach Deion Sanders’s Texas ranch during the final week of June. Transfer Buffs and returning players used the time to build chemistry and learn from some of the top influences in the football world.
Those influences, of course, included Coach Prime himself, but also an important guest speaker. NFL cornerback and safety Jalen Ramsey spoke to the team, giving the players career advice and helping put their circumstances into perspective. Part of that included telling the players how lucky they are to have the unique experience of learning under Coach Prime and his staff.
What Jalen Ramsey said about Deion Sanders and his staff
One of the themes most consistent in Ramsey’s conversation with the players was the reminder of how unique their situation is. Playing for arguably the greatest cornerback to ever play the game is an uncommon benefit, to say the least, and Ramsey told the players how they can use those circumstances to shape how they play.
“Being in the presence of greatness, you can’t really pay any of these coaches back for any of that,” said Ramsey to Colorado players in a YouTube video posted by Well Off Media. “The only way you can pay somebody back for that is by being yourself in a respectful way, but also by the way that you play for them…That [greatness] isn’t normal…it isn’t like that anywhere else.”
As a three-time first-team All-Pro, an eight-time Pro Bowler, a National Champion in college and a Super Bowl Champion in the NFL, Ramsey has had about as ideal a career path as a football player could ask for. Still, he even claimed that he wouldn’t have ended up at Florida State had a staff like Colorado’s existed during his college career.
How the Colorado Buffaloes’ leaders feel about Deion Sanders
Colorado’s players were receptive to Ramsey’s advice. Several players present at the retreat chimed in on the differences they’ve noticed between Coach Prime and any other coach they’ve played under.
A pair of SEC transfers in former Texas Longhorns wide receiver DeAndre Moore Jr. and former Georgia Bulldogs offensive lineman Bo Hughley spoke about the differences in coaching relationships they’ve seen since joining the Buffs.
They claimed they hadn’t been able to be themselves or form close relationships with their coaches at their former stops, and that it was a hindrance to their play and personal lives. Since arriving in Boulder, that hasn’t been a worry of theirs, as they’ve formed tight bonds with Coach Prime and other members of the staff.
Freshman offensive lineman Xavier Payne gave his thoughts on the Buffs’ unique closeness with their head coach as well. Although this is his first season at the college level, Payne still identified how unique an experience like Coach Prime’s leadership retreat is.
As the team takes shape ahead of the 2026 season, the retreat, as well as what the players learned from Ramsey, will play major roles in their chemistry. Sanders’s players are bought in, and the program’s leadership appears to have made great strides since 2025.
