Beneath a ‘heat dome,' the Washington monument closes and a region girds itself
How hot was it in D.C. on Monday? So hot, the National Park Service closed the Washington Monument out of concern for the safety of visitors and staff. So hot, Metro slowed train cars on the outdoor portions of its tracks because heat causes them to expand, posing another safety risk, while Baltimore canceled its free water taxi service beneath the blazing sun.

A heat wave is hitting this US over the coming days. When could it hit New England?
Across the central and eastern United States, about 170 million people could experience temperatures between 95 and 100 degrees over the next week as a heat wave arrives as early as Friday. Heat will dominate the Midwest through Sunday, with temperatures likely being in the 90s or 100s, according to AccuWeather. Despite these daytime highs being brutal, nighttime lows are not expected to bring relief. 'It will be exceptionally warm at night with little relief once the sun goes down,' AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said in a report. 'Many urban areas may struggle to drop below 80 at night, and that can take a toll on the body without air conditioning.' The Northeast should start to see high heat on Monday and continue until Wednesday, forecasters said. With high heat involved, forecasters anticipate humidity to make conditions feel even hotter. This could result in heat stroke or exhaustion. This could push temperatures to feeling closer to 110 or 120 degrees, which can be dangerous for children, pets and older people. 'Extreme heat is tragically the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in America,' AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said in AccuWeather's report. For the Northeast, temperatures are widely expected to be between 90 and 95 degrees on Monday, forecasters said. This is expected to change by Monday afternoon, when highs could reach a sweltering 105 to 110 degrees. 'The last day of a heat wave, and the day after a heat wave breaks, are often when most heat-related illnesses and emergencies are reported,' Porter said in the report. 'This is because health impacts from heat accumulate over time.' Boston's hottest temperature between Monday and Wednesday is on Tuesday, with a high of 98 degrees, according to AccuWeather. Worcester could reach its hottest on Monday, with a high of 97. The difference is negligible for Springfield between Monday (98) and Tuesday (99).
