The first major heat wave of the summer is firing up across the eastern half of the U.S. this week, with major cities along the Interstate 95 corridor like Washington, Philadelphia and New York City flirting with 100 degrees.
The expansive heat dome will have more than 190 million Americans in the East experiencing temperatures above 90 degrees, but it won’t just be the high temperatures that will make people feel miserable. Humidity, too, will soar, with dew points rising into the 70s.
Extreme Heat Warnings – the most dire heat alert issued by the National Weather Service – now stretch from Richmond, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., up the Interstate 95 corridor into Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven in Connecticut, Providence in Rhode Island and Boston.

6-year-old twins among 3 killed by EF-1 tornado in central New York
An EF-1 tornado was blamed for three deaths, including 6-year-old twin sisters, in central New York on Sunday as the same complex of thunderstorms that killed three people in northern Plains Friday night continued to charge across the northern U.S.
The National Weather Service office in Binghamton, New York, confirmed that an EF-1 tornado touched down about 4 a.m. ET on Sunday, carving a destructive 2.4-mile path from the nearby hamlet of Clark Mills before dissipating in Kirkland. The twister packed winds of up to 105 mph, according to the NWS.
Two 6-year-old girls, who were twin sisters, were killed when a tree crashed into their home and caused the roof to collapse. The Oneida County Sheriff's Office also said a large tree tore through another home during the storm and killed a 50-year-old woman.
