? Temps Could Feel As Hot As 105 Degrees Across East Coast This Week
July is supposed to be hot. But this? It's abnormally hot. Parts of the Northeast are experiencing the first heatwave of the year this week, with real-feel temps at 90 or above three days in a row, according to AccuWeather.

The July 4th weekend has arrived, but chances are the smell of smoke outside isn't coming from barbecues — and according to forecasters, there's even more ahead.
