Daily Weather Update from FOX Weather: Heat wave to sizzle eastern US while Invest 90L churns in Atlantic

The first major heat wave of the summer is firing up across the eastern half of the U.S. this week, with major cities along the Interstate 95 corridor like Washington, Philadelphia and New York City flirting with 100 degrees.
The expansive heat dome will have more than 190 million Americans in the East experiencing temperatures above 90 degrees, but it won't just be the high temperatures that will make people feel miserable. Humidity, too, will soar, with dew points rising into the 70s.
Extreme Heat Warnings – the most dire heat alert issued by the National Weather Service – now stretch from Richmond, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., up the Interstate 95 corridor into Philadelphia, New York City, New Haven in Connecticut, Providence in Rhode Island and Boston.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is watching a tropical disturbance in the central subtropical Atlantic that continues to become better organized and could become a short-lived tropical depression on Monday.
This system has been dubbed Invest 90L, which is a naming convention used by the NHC to identify areas it is investigating for possible development into a tropical depression or tropical storm within the next seven days.
An EF-1 tornado was blamed for three deaths, including 6-year-old twin sisters, in central New York on Sunday as the same complex of thunderstorms that killed three people in northern Plains Friday night continued to charge across the northern U.s.
The National Weather Service office in Binghamton, New York, confirmed that an EF-1 tornado touched down about 4 a.m. ET on Sunday, carving a destructive 2.4-mile path from the nearby hamlet of Clark Mills before dissipating in Kirkland. The twister packed winds of up to 105 mph, according to the NWS.
Two 6-year-old girls, who were twin sisters, were killed when a tree crashed into their home and caused the roof to collapse. The Oneida County Sheriff's Office also said a large tree tore through another home during the storm and killed a 50-year-old woman.
It's not every day that part of a police officer's job description involves alligator trapping, but in Texarkana, Texas, it's a possibility. Video from Wednesday shows two officers quickly snagging a small alligator from beneath a car in the parking lot of a church.
"Just your average Wednesday in Texarkana," the Texarkana Police Department smirked in a Facebook post sharing the video.

How to stay cool in Pittsburgh during the extreme heat
What to do if your home does not have air conditioning? What to do if your home does not have air conditioning? What to do if your home does not have air conditioning? An expert has tips on how to stay cool during the extreme heat in Pittsburgh. Heat is the leading weather-related cause of death nationwide, surpassing the fatalities caused by floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, and lightning. What to do if your home does not have air conditioning? If you live in a multilevel home without AC, go downstairs because heat rises. But if you do not have a lower level to escape to, there is something you can do to keep yourself cool. People are advised to close any doors to rooms they are not occupying. Whatever cold air you have, you don't want it going somewhere you are not going to be. Also, be sure to close all windows and blinds, and beware of what lights you keep on. If you have a fan, turn it on, but make sure it's going counterclockwise. That way, whatever cold air is in the room will stay down where you are. But what about your body? Dr. Brian Lamb of Allegheny Health Network Internal Medicine has some suggestions. "You need to make sure you are consistently drinking," Lamb said. "Not a glass of water in the morning and a glass of water at night. You can actually help increase evaporation for your skin. ... If you get towels, soak them in cold water, put them around your neck, put them across your forehead. You lose a lot of heat through your head." And hold off on vacuuming or using the dryer, and do not use the oven. "Eat some fruit," Lamb said. "You don't want a hot, heavy meal. That puts more demands on your body." "When you're body is hot, it doesn't work as well," he added. If all else fails, find someone who has air conditioning or go to a cooling center. Pittsburghers go to the pool to stay cool Settlers Cabin Wave Pool was busy on Monday, as people were trying to escape the heat. "We have a pool at home, but we come out here," said Sean/Giavanna Weir. Already this week, so many wanted to come to the wave pool that it reached capacity and closed admissions. Same at other pools in the county, including Boyce Park. So, what can you do to make sure you don't get in line only to be turned away? Check out the county's Facebook page before you head out.

Power restored to Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, senior apartments following 4-day outage
Power was restored just after 3 p.m. Monday at Newtown Towers, an apartment complex in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, after residents spent more than three days in sweltering conditions following last week's storm. The outage left dozens of older adults — many on fixed incomes and with mobility issues — without air conditioning, elevators or refrigeration as a heat wave gripped the region. "I had to clean out my refrigerator," 76-year-old Sue Dougherty said. "Thank God my daughter took a lot of my freezer stuff. But I had to throw out chicken and hot dogs." Dougherty has been staying with family, but returned Monday to check on her cat, Rita. "I just called the vet," she said. "And he said, 'Bring her up.'" Other residents without nearby family found their own ways to stay cool. Blanche Aboyan, 71, spent time in her parked car with the air conditioning running. "I have the air conditioner on in my car and it's feeling great and I'm starting to wake up," Aboyan said. She watched as utility crews worked for hours in the heat, clearing tree branches tangled in power lines. "I don't wish to be them," she said. Some residents were taken to the hospital during the outage, according to neighbors. "Several of the neighbors have been taken by the emergency vehicles because of the heat," resident Bob McDonald said. "But we're very aggressive and proactive in taking care of our neighbors." Without a working elevator, residents said they were largely confined to their apartments. "A lot of people move here because of the elevator," Dougherty said. "But in an emergency like this, there's no elevator." Despite the hardship, many said the experience brought them closer together. "In an emergency like this, we all try to help each other — give each other water. Whatever we can do," Dougherty said. "We have a lot of camaraderie here."

6 reported dead and 2 missing after a boat capsizes on Lake Tahoe in California
Six people were confirmed dead and two others were missing after a boat capsized on Lake Tahoe in California during a powerful weekend thunderstorm that whipped up high waves, officials said. The U.S. Coast Guard and the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office responded Saturday afternoon to D.L. Bliss State Park following reports of 10 people in the water, officials said. Two people were rescued and taken to a hospital. Winds of about 30 knots and swells of up to 8 feet were reported around the time the 27-foot gold Chris-Craft vessel flipped over near the lake's southwest edge, Coast Guard officials said. Rescue workers and divers searched the area Saturday evening and resumed their search Sunday morning before the Coast Guard suspended its search. Video obtained by KCRA-TV showed moored boats at a nearby marina crashing into one another amid strong gusts. The extent of the damage wasn't immediately known Sunday.
