Some New Jersey schools will close early on Friday as high heat and humidity leave students sweltering in buildings without air conditioning.
Keyport School District said schools would let out between noon and 12:30 p.m., with after-school activities cancelled.
Sayreville Public Schools said it would also close early due to "extreme heat and potentially dangerous building conditions."
New Brunswick Public Schools said three elementary schools would close early on Friday due to the weather.
Trenton's school district had already decided earlier this week that schools would close early through the week due to heat.
Storm Team 4 has forecast potentially record heat for Friday, with feels-like conditions at or above 100 degrees in some places.
New Jersey was not alone, though; schools in Baltimore and Philadelphia were also reported to be closing early Friday due to the temperatures.
