The Eastern heat wave and Southern Rainstorm continues but both will weaken into the new working week. Though the air temperature was just as toasty today as the past few from from Richmond to Bangor, dew points were less and therefore heat indexes instead of being 110-115, locally 115-120, it felt more like 100-105. As for the Louisiana flood situation, as many as 7,000 have had to be rescued, 3 are dead.

The relentless heat, humidity combo has led to stifling nights as well as days and therefore millions of air conditioners have been working overtime. Power demand hit all all-time record high in New York City this weekend.
