'Cold Shock': Be Prepared For Low Water Temps Rest Of Warm Memorial Day Weekend As temperatures warm up, beaches will be crowded for the next couple of days. But forecasters are warning beachgoers to be prepared for water temperatures that are much colder than temperatures in the air.

"Fifty-five-degree water may not sound very cold, but it can be deadly.  "Plunging into the cold water of any temperature becomes dangerous if you aren’t prepared for what the sudden exposure can do to your body and brain.  "Warm air temperatures can create a false sense …

Smoke From Canadian Wildfires Causing Hazy Skies In Much Of Northeast The forecast calls for mostly sunny skies on Thursday, May 11, but smoke from Canadian wildfires over Ontario has spread across much of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic, resulting in hazy conditions.

While it's unclear -- pun intended -- if the haze will abate, one thing is certain. As high pressure builds so…
