Dangerous Eastern Heat Wave Could be a Record-Breaker

A dangerous and record-challenging heat wave will affect much of the East this week as a once-delightful air mass turns ugly.

In some locations this heat wave will rival many that have occurred in the past 20 years with the potential for up to a several-day stretch of temperatures in the upper 90s to low 100s from southern New England to the Carolinas.

Cities from Hartford, New York and Philadelphia to Washington, D.C., Raleigh and Columbia will swelter.

Temperatures over the Independence Day were just a warm up compared to how nasty the weather will get, especially for those who do not have air conditioning or must do manual labor outdoors.

The highest temperatures will occur Tuesday and Wednesday in northern areas, while southern locations feel the inferno later in the week.
