The National Weather Service (NWS) issued heat advisories and excessive heat warnings for a swath of the U.S. East Coast and Midwest for Monday and Tuesday, while the weather agency separately warned that the temperatures will only increase as the week progresses.
“Record-breaking heat is forecast to expand from the Midwest and Great Lakes to the Northeast this week, potentially lingering through early next week,” the NWS wrote in a statement posted on social media.
A map posted by the NWS and other weather services suggest that tens of millions of Americans across more than a dozen states will see high temperatures. Major cities including Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York City, Boston, and Albany in New York could see “extreme” temperatures, according to the agency.
