Extreme heat blankets U.S., with almost 160 million under alerts from Texas to Maine
A dangerous heat wave continues to grip almost the entire eastern half of the United States, with temperatures expected to spike Tuesday and dozens of new record highs possible across a huge swath of the country. Nearly 160 million people are under heat alerts from eastern Texas to Maine, as temperatures are forecasted to be as much as 20 degrees Fahrenheit above seasonal averages. Highs in the triple digits are possible along the East Coast, with temperatures in New York City and Washington, D.C., rivaling Death Valley in California. Temperatures over 95 degrees will be widespread across the central and eastern U.S. Heat index values — a measure of what conditions 'feel like' when humidity and air temperatures are combined — are expected to be well into the triple digits throughout the region, with some places possibly reaching as high as 115 degrees. The multi-day heat wave, which began over the weekend, has already proven deadly: A woman in St. Ann, Missouri, died Monday of heat-related causes, according to the city's police chief, Aaron Jimenez. The victim died in her home after having no water or air conditioning for at least three days, Jiminez told NBC News.
