Parts of the Northeast are experiencing the first heatwave of the year this week, with real-feel temps at 90 or above three days in a row, according to AccuWeather. That could be the case in Philadelphia, where temps hit 90 on Monday, July 3, and then 88 on Tuesday, July 4. In Washington DC, temps hit 92 and 93 degrees. "Because the 30-year average high temperature has crept upward in recent decades in the nation's capital, the criteria for a heat wave should probably be more like the low to mid-90s for a heat wave, rather than t…

Smoky Skies To Stay For Summer? Forecasters Say More Hazy Days Are Ahead
The July 4th weekend has arrived, but chances are the smell of smoke outside isn't coming from barbecues — and according to forecasters, there's even more ahead.
