But not a record breaker..... (But in a few years might last a long, long time)
From Forbes.com from the US National Weather Service...
Topline: An excessive and potentially dangerous heatwave is expected to grip much of the Midwest and East Coast on Thursday and through much of the weekend, with temperatures and humidity expected to reach record-highs and well into the triple digits.
The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Warning—the most serious heat-related alert—for several areas on Thursday. And even more are under a less serious Heat Advisory.
Excessive Heat Warnings are given when the heat index (the combined temperature and humidity, or the “feels like” temperature) is forecasted to reach 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Additionally, low temperatures during the night are expected to reach record highs.
Heat killed more people last year than any other type of extreme weather, according to the NWS.
