Bergen County officials announced they are opening four regional cooling centers for residents who must avoid the heat but don't have access to air conditioning.

- South West Bergen Activity Center, 147 Hackensack Street, East Rutherford
County officials said the centers will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. as needed on Thursday, June 9.

"Temperatures are expected to climb to near 100 degrees and with the high humidity, the heat indices will reach 103 degrees," said county officials in an e-mail. "Temperatures are expected to drop to 71 degrees later Thursday evening."
