Cities across the eastern and central United States are bracing for more days of extreme temperatures as a unusual June heat wave continues to grip that portion of the country.

An intense early summer heat wave will peak through the middle of week, with near-record temperatures across Delmarva. Monday and Tuesday stand to be the hottest days with high temperatures expected to be near 100.

A multiday heat wave is bringing high temperatures and health risks from the Midwest to the Northeast, prompting warnings and emergency measures.
