A heat wave will affect much of the Northeastern United States during the upcoming July Fourth holiday period. Forecasts indicate temperatures approaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit in some regions, leading to public safety advisories from officials.
Northeastern states are preparing for a heat wave expected to bring high temperatures beginning late this week and extending into the July Fourth holiday weekend. Forecasters predict temperatures near or above 90 degrees Fahrenheit across the region.
Several states, including Connecticut, have activated extreme hot weather protocols. Officials issue these protocols when weather conditions indicate a risk to public health and safety due to heat.
Central New York is among the areas where temperatures are anticipated to be particularly elevated. Experts have issued warnings regarding the heat as residents plan outdoor activities for the holiday weekend.
