More Than 132 Million Face Wilting Heat Across Eastern US
(Bloomberg) -- More than 132 million people across the central and eastern US are facing blistering temperatures to start the week, with rising humidity making it feel even worse and putting a strain on the energy grid as air conditioners and fans get a workout. Heat advisories or excessive-heat warnings have been issued from Nebraska to Massachusetts and from North Dakota to Florida, covering all or part of 29 states and more than 38% of the US population, according to the National Weather Service. Sweltering conditions will peak today and Monday before gradually easing. The US Southeast will be the last to get some relief, later in the week or next. 'It's miserable but the end is near,' said Brian Hurley, a senior branch forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center. 'A couple of days to go, maybe more than a couple of days if you are in the Southeast.' Heat threatens human life, as well as stressing electric grids and transportation networks. From 1979 to 2022 more than 14,000 Americans died from heat-related causes, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. A wide area of the US faces a moderate heat risk Sunday, with as many as 88.4 million people under a major threat and 10.8 million enduring extreme conditions, mainly along the eastern seaboard from Washington to Florida, the weather service said. The high temperatures, made worse by humidity, have set a smattering of records, particularly in the Southeast. Charlotte, North Carolina, hit a high of 101F (38C) Saturday. Sixty more records may be breached or tied in coming days. In New York City, temperatures will likely peak Tuesday at 94F but with humidity may feel closer to 105F, the weather service said. In Washington, readings are forecast to reach 98F Tuesday and 99F Wednesday. Utilities are gearing up for continued high demand. PJM Interconnection LLC, a grid operator that moves electricity across 13 states and the District of Columbia, issued hot weather alerts for its Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions Sunday and for its entire operating area on Monday. The heat will start to ease as a weather front pushes south, leaving lower temperatures and milder humidity in its wake, Hurley said. In a week, a large part of the central and eastern US will likely be cooler than normal for early August, according to the US Climate Prediction Center. In addition to the heat, ground-level ozone parts of New York and New Jersey may make breathing difficult for the young, the elderly and people with respiratory or heart conditions, the weather service said. Further north, across Upstate New York and New England, smoke from Canadian forest fires is also harming air quality. Much of that threat should start to diminish in the coming days, Hurley said.

Severe thunderstorms sweep through Pennsylvania and Northeast bringing damaging winds hail and flash flooding risk
TIL Creatives Severe thunderstorms move across Pennsylvania and the Northeast with 60 mph winds penny sized hail and risk of flash flooding as warnings remain in effect A powerful line of thunderstorms tore across parts of Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast on Friday(July 25), triggering multiple severe weather warnings and putting millions under threat of damaging winds, large hail, and flash flooding. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning just after 3:20 pm ET for portions of south-central Pennsylvania, including Dauphin, Lebanon, Perry, northeastern Cumberland, northwestern York, and southwestern Schuylkill Counties. The warning remains in effect until 4 pm ET. Radar showed storms stretching from Tower City to Ickesburg, moving southeast at 35 mph, packing 60 mph wind gusts and penny-sized hail, strong enough to damage rooftops, trees, and power lines. Several highways including the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Interstates 78, 81, 83, and 283 are also under alert due to hazardous driving conditions.'Move indoors immediately,' the warning urged. 'If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.' The NWS emphasized that cloud-to-ground lightning is frequent in this storm system. These storms come on the heels of an oppressive heat wave gripping much of the region. The NWS also issued a Heat Advisory for multiple counties in Pennsylvania through 8 pm. Friday, with feels-like temperatures soaring past 100°F. That hot, humid air has created an unstable atmosphere ideal for violent storms. Farther east, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in place for New Jersey, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island until 9 pm ET. In Morris County, New Jersey, a warning was issued until 3:45 pm for cities including Morristown, Dover, and Madison, as storms continue to track eastward.'It's all happening fast,' said Raul Martinez, a truck driver caught along I‑81. 'One minute I'm in the sun, the next I'm dodging fallen branches in the wind.'Emergency services are urging residents to avoid flooded roads, as heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas. The NWS warned, 'Turn around, don't drown.'Residents are advised to monitor local alerts, keep phones charged, and seek shelter at the first sign of thunder or lightning. Severe weather could continue through the evening hours.
