Record heat blamed for at least 25 deaths as July Fourth festivities are dampened

A record-setting heatwave is suspected in at least 25 deaths across the Deep South, Midwest and East Coast as temperatures top 100F and heat alerts cover roughly 156 million people; the heat disrupted Fourth of July events, prompted emergency aid for heat-related illnesses at venues like Washington, D.C.'s National Mall, and contributed to widespread power outages and storm threats. Forecasters expect a cooldown from the north in the coming days, but dangerous overnight warmth and humidity will persist.

Chicago Braces for Two Rounds of Severe Storms as Wet Spring Persists

Two rounds of potentially severe thunderstorms are forecast for Chicago on Monday—first from about 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a second, possibly more severe from 4 to 10 p.m.—with large hail and damaging winds up to 70 mph and additional rain that could worsen flooding in a record-wet spring (about 10 inches through April 17). The storm track depends on a warm front, so the northward extent of severe weather remains uncertain; residents near the Rock, Fox, and Des Plaines rivers should monitor forecasts and prepare for possible flooding, while the Chicago River is not listed as flood-prone in this alert.
