“The hottest temperatures of the year so far will impact much of the Midwest to Northeast. Widespread daily records are likely for daytime heat, with some monthly records possible. Heat index readings are expected to peak from 100 to 105 degrees in many locations. By this weekend, the most intense heat will shift south from New England towards the Northeast urban corridor and Mid-Atlantic. Factors Making This Heat Wave Dangerous: The early arrival of the heat, persistence of heat over multiple days, and light winds will increase the danger of this heat beyond what the exact temperature values would suggest,” says a National Weather Service Bulletin about the heat wave forecast to start Tuesday and last until who the hell knows in the US’s northeastern quad.
