Extensive delays at major tri-state airports due to weather
NEW YORK (PIX11) — Travelers heading to major tri-state area airports may experience delays of up to two hours, according to the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday. As of 5:30 p.m. on Friday, delays were a little over two hours at LaGuardia Airport, nearly three hours at John F. Kennedy International Airport, and up to three and a half hours at Newark Liberty International Airport. More Local News The delays come as a result of wind and thunderstorms moving into the area, the FAA's website said. There's a 40% chance of rain for the evening according to forecasters from the National Weather Service. Showers are expected over the area between 11 p.m. into 2 a.m. Dominique Jack is a digital content producer from Brooklyn with more than five years of experience covering news.

New York City's Power Is Going Down Amid Brutal Heatwave
While a gigantic heat dome parks itself like an unwelcome guest over a major swath of the United States, residents of the ultra-dense metropolis of New York City are the perfect example of a country so cooked by climate change that it's overwhelming existing infrastructure. More than 3,000 people were without power for a second day in a row in parts of Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island, according to local broadcaster PIX 11. Con Edison, the local power company, did manage to restore power to over 34,000 households in the Bronx. It's an alarming example of power grid failures across the nation and world amidst this annual onslaught of intense heat. Utilities in North Carolina are urging residents to conserve electricity in case the power grid goes down, while their counterparts in Maine are also afraid of peak electricity tripping up their operations. The unrelenting temperatures, which has soared over three digits and is considered the first heat wave of the season, should peak midweek for Northeastern cities. "Like an air fryer, it's going to be hot," Ryan Maue, meteorologist and former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist, told NPR. "This is a three-day stretch of dangerous heat that will test the mettle of city dwellers who are most vulnerable to oppressive heat waves." Inevitably it'll cool down, but the threat of blackouts as global warming makes our weather more extreme is dire no matter where you look. Much of the power grid in the United States was built decades ago, in the 1960s and 1970s, and transmission infrastructure has a shelf-life of 50 to 80 years, with billions needed to pay for their upgrades. There has been research to make the power grid more resilient, but something tells us that not much has been deployed; the Department of Energy just issued a warning about electricity usage in the Southeast of the United States. Oh, and not only are we facing the double whammy of aging infrastructure and climate change, but we also need to contend with power-hungry AI data centers. Can we keep up? So far, the answer seems to be "barely." More on power grids: Sam Altman Says "Significant Fraction" of Earth's Total Electricity Should Go to Running AI

Millions at risk amid widespread heat wave
Nearly 190 million Americans are under some form of heat advisory or warning as of Monday afternoon amid an early summer heat wave. Why it matters: The event, which broke temperature records across the West and Alaska before shifting east, is bringing an especially dangerous combination of heat and humidity. Much of the eastern U.S. is at "major" or "extreme" risk of heat-related impacts this week, per the National Weather Service's experimental HeatRisk index. By the numbers: Nearly 370 daily high temperature records were tied or broken between last Monday and Saturday, according to NOAA data. Boulder, Colorado and nearby Fort Collins broke 131-year and 130-year daily records, respectively, with highs of 98°F in both cities. A 119-year daily record fell in Paradise, Arizona with a high of 100°F, while a 108-year daily record in Provo, Utah was toppled at 102°F. Zoom in: The extreme conditions are being driven by a " heat dome," with high pressure trapping warm, humid air over vast areas. Between the lines: Human-caused climate change is making heat waves both more likely and more intense, researchers say. While daytime highs often make the headlines, average nighttime temperatures are also increasing nationwide — meaning evenings can offer less respite. Threat level: People with underlying health conditions, outdoor workers and those without air conditioning are especially vulnerable to heat waves. Heavy A/C use, meanwhile, may strain electric grids and cause blackouts. Power outages were affecting thousands of people in Queens, New York as of Monday afternoon, per local station PIX11. What they're saying: " Heat tends to have cumulative effects on the body, and we are currently forecasting three consecutive days of 95°F+ and 5-6 days of 90°F+ taking into account temperatures this past weekend," reads a Monday afternoon forecast discussion from the NWS' Mt. Holly, New Jersey office.
