Some 170 million Americans to feel dangerous heat through mid-week

Tens of millions of Americans are forecast to feel the effects of dangerous heat through mid-week.
Many cities already saw triple-digit temperatures over the weekend.
Major cities, which already run hotter than the suburbs, could see such conditions for several days. There wonโt be much relief overnight, forecasters warned.
Much of the central U.S. will feel highs in well into the mid-90s as a heat dome envelops much of Americaโs east.
“Vulnerable people, such as the elderly or young children, are most susceptible to heat-related illness,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Jacob Hinson. “Caution should be taken if spending any appreciable amount of time outside, such as by staying hydrated with non-alcoholic beverages, taking frequent breaks and seeking shade.”
