With Thursday's seasonal solstice taking place amid a weeklong heatwave expected for the East Coast and Midwest, the summer of 2024 is coming in hot. Extreme heat was forecast for Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Boston, New York City and Albany, New York. Models show the heat could last through Friday and beyond.
New temperature records could be set from the Ohio Valley and the Lower Great Lakes into the northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, the weather service said. The National Weather Service office for Pittsburgh said it “could be the most impactful heat wave of the 21st century.” Buffalo Public Schools said in a statement it was implementing half days for four of the week's five days. The schedule will allow pre-K through 8th grade students go home by the end of the lunch hour.
