Over 1.5m Americans Told To Stay Out of Sun on 4th of July
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Heat-related advisories were in place across four states on Friday, July 4, with the National Weather Service (NWS) warning of "dangerously hot conditions" in some areas. Why It Matters The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses, especially in older adults, young children, and individuals with chronic medical conditions. Symptoms may include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness and nausea. The agency reports that more than 700 people die annually in the U.S. due to extreme heat. Rising temperatures can also worsen ground-level ozone, adding to health risks. New Yorkers cross 41st Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during a heat wave on June 25, 2025 in New York City. New Yorkers cross 41st Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan during a heat wave on June 25, 2025 in New York City. CraigWhat To Know An extreme heat warning, which the NWS issues when "extremely dangerous heat conditions are expected or occurring," was in effect for northeast Minnesota, including Crow Wing, Aitkin, Pine, Koochiching, Cass, Itasca, Carlton and Saint Louis counties. The warning also covered the northwestern Wisconsin counties of Ashland, Bayfield, Burnett, Douglas, Sawyer, and Washburn counties. Heat index values, which reflect how hot it feels to the human body when both humidity and air temperature are considered, between 95 and 102 degrees Fahrenheit were possible in these regions, the NWS said. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room if possible, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors," it advised. Meanwhile, less severe heat advisories were in place across parts of North Dakota and Alaska, as well as Wisconsin and Minnesota. Northeast and southeast portions of North Dakota could see heat index values up to 101, the NWS said. It advised residents in affected areas to wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, and limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. In Alaska, heat advisories covered parts of the state's interior, northern and northwest areas. The NWS expected hot temperatures ranging from 75 to 90 across the affected areas. "Individuals not accustomed to these unusually hot temperatures for this region may experience heat-related illnesses," it warned. What People Are Saying The National Weather Service forecast office, Duluth, Minnesota, said on X, Thursday: "A Heat Advisory is in effect Friday for all areas except the North Shore when very warm temperatures in the mid-80s to low 90s F and dewpoints in the upper-60s to low-70s F will create Heat Index values in the low to upper-90s." NWS Grand Forks, North Dakota, said on X, Thursday: "Heat and humidity will combine to create heat impacts Friday afternoon. Apparent temperatures will rise to over 100 degrees in spots. Impacts will be highest for those out in direct sunlight. Make sure to stay hydrated and move to a cooler area if needed." What Happens Next At the time of writing, the extreme heat warning for Minnesota and Wisconsin was in effect until 8 p.m. CDT.

DoorDash executive, his parents, among 8 dead when sudden storm capsized Tahoe boat
A 37-year-old DoorDash executive who was a new dad was among the eight who died after their boat capsized on Lake Tahoe during a sudden storm. The other boaters who died were all friends or relatives of Josh Pickles, the DoorDash executive. They were gathered in Tahoe to celebrate his mother's 71st birthday, a family spokesperson said. His mom, Paula Bozinovich, also died in the incident. There were 10 people aboard the 27-foot powerboat near D.L. Bliss State Park in southwest Lake Tahoe when a powerful thunderstorm rolled in Saturday afternoon, rapidly worsening conditions on the lake. Winds went from 5-10 mph to 35-45 mph in a matter of minutes, officials and locals said. The temperature dropped almost 20 degrees into the upper 30s and waves grew to 7- to 10-foot chops. At some point, Josh Pickles' boat capsized — as did others on the lake that afternoon. The Coast Guard and El Dorado County Sheriff's Office responded to the incident around 3 p.m. Saturday, after someone had reported 10 people in the water, which had become dangerously cold and choppy. Initially, officials were able to rescue two people from the water, who were taken to a hospital, but six others were found dead. Over the next two days, search and rescue teams would find the bodies of the last two occupants, bringing the death toll to eight. On Tuesday, officials identified the victims as five Californians and three New Yorkers: Josh Pickles, of San Francisco, and his parents, Bozinovich and Terry Pickles, 73, both of Redwood City; Josh Pickles' uncle, Peter Bayes, 72, of Lincoln; and other close friends of the family, 71-year-old Timothy O'Leary, of Auburn, 66-year-old Theresa Giullari and 69-year-old James Guck, both of Honeoye, N.Y., and 63-year-old Stephen Lindsay, of Springwater, N.Y. 'We are devastated by this tragedy,' Jordan Sugar-Carlsgaard, the widow of Josh Pickles, wrote in a statement. 'No words can express the pain and anguish we feel knowing their lives were lost during what was meant to be a joyful time on the lake. Our hearts go out to those who tragically lost their lives and the two survivors of this unexpected and deadly storm on Lake Tahoe.' Sugar-Carlsgaard and her husband had recently welcomed a baby together. Neither the 7-month-old baby or Sugar-Carlsgaard were aboard the boat Saturday. Sam Singer, a spokesperson for the family, said that Josh and Terry Pickles owned the boat that capsized, which they purchased last year. This was only their third time taking the boat out on the water, Singer said. Josh Pickles and his wife had a home in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Tahoe, Singer said. Ravi Inukonda, the chief financial officer at DoorDash, said the company was devastated by Josh Pickles' death. 'Josh loved his team and was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him,' Inukonda said in a statement. 'During his nearly seven years at DoorDash, he brought a contagious spirit that lifted those around him. The loss of Josh is immeasurable. We miss him deeply and will carry his memory with us always.' Josh Pickles' role at the company had been the head of global strategic sourcing and procurement. 'Our thoughts and love are with his wife, his daughter, his family, and all who were close to him,' Inukonda said. 'We are working to support them through this incredibly difficult time.' A spokesperson for the Sheriff's Office said it was 'too early in the investigation' to comment on the use of life vests. The spokesperson declined to comment on the current status of the victims who survived and said no cause of death has been confirmed. The lake's water temperature on Saturday remained below 60 degrees, according to the Tahoe Environmental Research Center at UC Davis. Officials warn that water below 70 degrees is cold enough to cause hypothermia if a person is exposed to such conditions for a long period of time.
