[californiadisasters] While California Cools It's Heels...

A combination of very hot temperatures and high humidity has created dangerous conditions across much of the central U.S., with heat index values as high as 126°F reported in parts of the Upper Midwest so far. Excessive heat watches, warnings and advisories remain in effect for a large portion of the Central U.S. Temperatures will feel like 100-110 degrees or higher in many locations during the afternoon hours and will remain high at night, offering no relief from the heat. In some places, the nighttime lows will exceed the normal daytime high temperatures. The dangerous heat wave will spread eastward during the coming week, with heat index values approaching or exceeding 100°F by mid-week for many locations across the eastern seaboard, including Washington, D.C. Heat is the number one weather-related killer in the United States, so take precautions if you are in an affected area and be sure to check on family, friends and elderly neighbors.
