Heat, storms threaten July 4 celebrations as floods loom in the Northeast

A heat wave across the Northeast and a swath of severe storms through the Midwest disrupted the July 4 holiday, with evacuations on the National Mall in Washington, DC, and fireworks timing shifted or canceled in several cities as flood watches covered about 34 million people. More than 501,000 utility customers were without power; New Jersey logged at least 25 suspected heat-related deaths, Atlantic City hit 105°F, and a Geneva Lake boat accident in Wisconsin left three children dead. Forecasters warned the turbulent weather could persist into the week, complicating celebrations across much of the country.

Severe Storms Sweep from Midwest to Northeast, Tornado and Flood Risks Rise

Forecasters warn a new wave of severe storms could sweep from Texas to New England on Thursday, with Chicago and Milwaukee at the center and a heightened risk of tornadoes, hail and damaging winds as a hot, humid air mass fuels the system; heavy rain could trigger flash flooding in cities. More than 250,000 Midwest customers remained without power after Wednesday’s outages, and a Des Moines man died when a tree fell on him; the main threat is expected to move from the Midwest by Friday but linger into the Northeast.

Tick bites surge across the U.S., driving ER visits higher

Tick bites surge across the U.S., driving ER visits higher

Tick activity is rising in the Northeast and Midwest as warmer temperatures expand tick habitats, leading to a peak in tick-bite emergency-room visits for this time of year since 2017. Lyme disease remains the most common tick-borne illness, with about 476,000 US cases treated annually, and climate change is aiding the spread. To reduce risk, people outdoors should perform thorough tick checks on skin and clothing, shower after outdoor time, inspect hidden areas, and remove attached ticks promptly, since Lyme transmission typically requires 24–36 hours of attachment (other tick-borne diseases can transmit more quickly).

Spring Arrives Amid Another Round of Wintry Storms Across Midwest to Northeast

As meteorological spring begins on March 1, several storms will bring snow, ice and rain from the Midwest to the Northeast through mid‑next week, affecting about 120 million people. Arctic air will surge south, creating a broad wintry pattern with snow in parts of the Upper Midwest and central Midwest, while a larger Tue–Wed storm could push a wintry mix farther east and trigger urban flooding as melts advance. Travel could be slick, with fog and possible ice jams as rain and melting snow raise water levels in cities.

Winter Storm Reaches East as West Sees Record Warmth

Winter weather is returning to the Midwest and Northeast this weekend as a fast-moving system moves east, bringing snow and travel delays; meanwhile parts of the West are experiencing record warmth. Massachusetts endured significant power outages from the prior nor’easter, and icy conditions are possible from Missouri into northern New England, with snow likely in the Midwest moving toward D.C. and New York City by Monday. Next week could bring more storms and heavy rain to the Plains and Mississippi Valley, with potential flooding.

Historic Northeast Blizzard Dumps Record Snow, Halting Travel and Power

A historic bomb cyclone blankets the Northeast with record snowfall—from Rhode Island’s three-plus feet to about 20 inches in New York City—causing widespread power outages, canceling thousands of flights and dimming travel across the region. Massachusetts reports hundreds of stranded vehicles, Cape Cod outages, and travel bans; New York City enacts homelessness outreach amid freezing conditions; cities mobilize extensive snow removal and shelters, with restoration expected to take days as crews work around the clock and Boston stores excess snow in ‘snow farms.’
