In New York, where the utility Consolidated Edison Inc. is asking 3.5 million customers to conserve power, Central Park is forecast to reach 96 degrees Fahrenheit (36 Celsius). Boston could hit 97, the National Weather Service said. The heat is expected to break late in the day, as heavy thunderstorms arrive.
“One more day of heat and humidity,” said Nelson Vaz, a weather service meteorologist in Upton, New York. “We will have isolated to scattered, possibly severe, thunderstorms late today into this evening that is the first sign of the heat breaking.”
In the Pacific Northwest, temperatures are lower in Portland and Seattle, but the brutal heat that’s pounded the region continues east of the Cascade Mountains. Spokane, Washington, is forecast to hit 110. The utility Avista Corp. announced another round of rolling blackouts to cope with soaring demand for electricity. The periodic outages will affect about 5,800 customers, the company said.
