Eastern half of U.S. braces for more long days of dangerous heat
Cities across the Midwest and eastern U.S. braced Sunday for another day of dangerously hot temperatures as a rare June heat wave continued to grip a portion of the country. The temperature had already reached 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.6 degrees Celsius) in the Chicago area by 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasts called for heat indices of between 100 and 105 degrees F (37.7 to 40.5 degrees C). The heat index in Pittsburgh was expected to top 105 degrees F. The temperature in Columbus, Ohio, was 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) at 8:30 a.m. Highs there were expected to reach 97 degrees F (36 degrees C) with a heat index around 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). Sunday marked the second straight day of extreme heat across the Midwest and East Coast. Heat indices on Saturday hit 103 degrees F (39.4 degrees C) in Chicago and 101 degrees F (38.3 degrees C) in Madison, Wisconsin, turning that city's annual naked bike ride into a sticky and sweaty affair. Minneapolis baked under a heat index of 106 degrees F (41.1 degrees C). The heat is expected to persist into the coming week, with the hottest temperatures shifting eastward. New York City is expected to see highs around 95 degrees F (35 degrees C) on Monday and Tuesday. Boston is on track for highs approaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 degrees Celsius) on Tuesday, and temperatures in Washington, D.C., were expected to hit 100 degrees F on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Elly De La Cruz vomits, Trent Thornton has to be helped from field as MLB games disrupted by extreme heat
Seattle Mariners pitcher Trent Thornton had to be helped off the field during the eighth inning at Wrigley Field. - Erin Hooley/AP Soaring temperatures throughout the United States wreaked havoc across Major League Baseball on Saturday, with Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz and Seattle Mariners reliever Trent Thornton both falling ill in their respective games. De La Cruz vomited in the outfield during the fourth inning of the Reds' 6-5 extra-innings defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, where the temperature at first pitch was recorded at 92 degrees Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius). Advertisement Grounds crew cleaned up the area after the Dominican, who ultimately decided to continue, was tended to by a trainer. 'I actually watched him,' said Cincinnati manager Terry Francona. 'He drank a bunch of water. I mean a bunch! And then he went right out and got rid of it.' De La Cruz's decision to stay in the game paid off in the seventh. With the score tied at 2-2, the shortstop got ahold of Steven Matz's 85 mph changeup and crushed it 435 feet to left center for a two-run home run. Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz vomits during the fourth inning at Busch Stadium. - Jeff Roberson/AP Later, in the Mariners' 10-7 defeat to the Chicago Cubs, Trent Thornton had to be treated by emergency medical technicians after he began suffering from heat exhaustion. Advertisement With the heat at Wrigley Field having reached 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34 degrees Celsius) at first pitch, reliever Thornton pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings but had to crouch down behind the mound in the eighth after giving up a walk to Ian Happ. Mariners manager Dan Wilson and assistant athletic trainer Kevin Orloski helped Thornton off the field, and the 31-year-old took an ice bath shortly after. 'It was a scary moment, for sure,' said Wilson, per 'He battled hard. But just really glad that he's feeling a little bit better now and should be OK.' The incident came after home plate umpire Chad Whitson had already left the game after falling ill at the conclusion of the fifth inning, causing a 10-minute delay and Dexter Kelley to move from second to behind the dish. Advertisement 'He came in, same kind of thing. Just was not feeling well,' said Wilson, per AP. 'Threw up a few times in the dugout and then they came and took care of him from there. The heat was a real thing today, for sure.' An MLB spokesperson said Whitson had been cleared to work third base for Sunday's rubber match after he felt better on Saturday night, per AP. A member of staff at Wrigley Field also suffered a heat-related medical issue after the game had finished, a Cubs spokesperson told AP. The individual was able to walk off the field on his own. With temperatures expected to be even higher in Chicago for the final game of the series on Sunday, the Cubs plan to bring in a city bus to use as a cooling station next to the stadium – in addition to the cooling and misting stations that were already present for Saturday's game. Advertisement The Milwaukee Brewers' 9-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins at Target Field was played under an excessive heat warning, but no players were noticeably ill. Much of the eastern half of the US is entering what is predicted to be a period of dangerous heat next week. Over 250 daily temperature records could be broken on Monday and Tuesday.

Alert Days in effect as temperatures near triple digits
Welcome to Sunday! BWI-Marshall peaked at 90° on Saturday afternoon and we're forecasting even warmer temperatures for Sunday afternoon. Highs across the area reach the mid to upper 90s. WJZ Alert days in place for dangerous heat The combination of near triple digit heat and elevated humidity levels have prompted the WJZ First Alert Weather team to issue Alert Days for Sunday through Wednesday of this week. Maximum temperatures will peak close to 100° each of those days with Monday and Tuesday the most likely afternoons to surpass that mark. This could rival high temperature records at BWI. Heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the United States. Please take the Alert Days seriously, especially if you will be outdoors in the next couple of days. A heat advisory is in place west of Baltimore for Frederick, Washington, as well as parts of Allegany and Montgomery Counties today from noon to 8 pm for heat indices up to 105°. With warmer air on the way early in the work week, additional heat alerts will be active across much of Maryland: A heat advisory will go into effect for Talbot, Caroline, Kent and Queen Anne's counties starting 8 am on Monday through 8 pm Tuesday evening. An extreme heat watch for the rest of the state will go into effect at 11 am Monday morning through 9 pm Monday evening. Feels like temperatures will approach 110° for these areas. Regardless of whether or not your neighborhood is in an alert, the entire area will be extremely hot and humid. A few ways to stay safe and healthy while working outside during extreme heat - Wear loose fitting, light colored clothing Take frequent breaks if you plan to be outdoors Drink lots of water, even if you don't feel thirsty Remember pets and the elderly in the heat In preparation for the unusually hot weather, Baltimore City's Health Department is declaring its first 'Code Red Extreme' Heat Alert. The alert begins Sunday and runs through the middle of the week. A list of available cooling centers is listed on the city's website. Sunday storms possible Sunday afternoon may also see an isolated shower or storm develop as a system moves in from the north. If we do see wet weather, we have a low-end risk for a stronger storm, as well. A level 1 out of 5 risk for severe weather is in place for much of the Baltimore area and the Maryland Eastern Shore. Damaging winds and larger hail would be the greatest threat if severe weather materializes anywhere in Maryland. Heat eases later in the week Temperatures eventually begin to slowly ease away from the century mark late in the upcoming week. This will also come with increased shower and storm chances thanks to a front expected to inch closer to the Maryland-Pennsylvania state line from the north. We're still forecasting highs in the low 90s Friday into the final weekend of June.
