"Temperatures will build to their highest marks in years across the Midwest and Northeast and stay at sizzling levels for days as #MotherNature cranks up the heat ahead of astronomical summer, which begins Thursday, June 20, at 4:50 p.m. EDT.
"AccuWeather's long-range team has been sounding the alarm for more than a week on building heat in the East during the third week of June that would put millions at the mercy of a prolonged stretch of 90-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. The longevity of the intense heat will put additional strain on residents and #ElectricalInfrastructure.
"For many in the #Midwest and #Northeast, this week will constitute the first official heat wave of the season, which, in this part of the country, is defined as three or more consecutive days of at least 90-degree temperatures. Heat alerts have been issued for more than a dozen states, stretching from #Iowa and #Illinois to #Maine, as the summer swelter takes shape."
