Temperatures in Washington DC reached 100 degrees during the Independence Day weekend. The CDC logged many heat-related ER visits and expects more in the days ahead. New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore face the same extreme heat.
The DC Independence Day Parade got canceled. Maryland expects severe storms through July 4, offering temporary relief but not halting the heat wave. CBS says the heat and storms are set to persist through the holiday. The Weather Channel predicts the heat dome will stick around into the weekend. Officials are warning people to stay out of the heat as things stay risky.
