Dangerous Heat Wave Expands Over Central and Eastern United States
A relentless and intensifying heat wave is expanding across the central and eastern United States this week, bringing well-above-average heat to millions of people from the Midwest to the East Coast and prompting health advisories across several states. After pushing temperatures to around 100 degrees in parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota on Saturday, the heat is expected to continue over the Midwest and shift eastward on Sunday. By midweek, the heat is expected to affect major urban areas, including New York City, Philadelphia and Washington. 'This is the deadliest weather threat we face in New York City — treat it that way,' the city's Emergency Management said on social media on Saturday. 'Don't wait until you feel sick. Heat builds. It compounds. It kills quietly.' New York City officials noted that more than 500 residents die prematurely each year from heat-related causes, and they expect oppressive temperatures to persist through at least Tuesday. In Philadelphia, the Department of Public Health issued a heat health emergency, beginning at noon on Sunday and continuing through Wednesday evening. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Louisville under heat advisory for multiple days. What to know from the National Weather Service
The National Weather Service in Louisville issued a heat advisory June 22 for counties in Kentucky and southern Indiana, as heat index values are expected to top 100 degrees for several days. The advisory is in effect until June 24 at 8 p.m. For Louisville, meteorologists with the weather service estimate heat indices, which factor in the humidity, will be as high as 104 degrees June 22 and 24. The city may not see a day without a heat index value above 100 until after June 27. "The combination of temperatures in the low to mid 90s and dew points in the mid 70s will result in heat index values between 100-105 over the next several days," NWS Louisville officials stated in a Facebook post. "During this time, stay hydrate(d) and avoid being outside for long periods of time and take frequent breaks. Always remember to double check your vehicle for children and pets." In a statement issued June 22, meteorologists with the National Weather Service's central office reported a "dangerous heat wave" is active over the Midwest. Residents in densely populated urban areas are considered to be the most vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. "Light winds, sunny skies, and a lack of overnight cooling will pose a significant risk to those without adequate cooling and/or hydration," NWS officials stated. Louisville may not see a high temperature below 90 degrees for several days, according to a National Weather Service forecast issued June 22. Low temperatures are expected to be around 75 degrees or higher each day through June 27. After sunny and hot conditions impact Louisville on June 22, here's a closer look at the forecast over the next three days: Monday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Heat index values as high as 103. Light southwest wind. Monday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 76. Light southwest wind. Tuesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Calm wind. Tuesday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 75. Wednesday: Sunny and hot, with a high near 94. Wednesday night: Mostly clear, with a low around 76.
