United States of America Northeast To Get Dangerous Heat

Updated 3:11 AM EDT, Thu July 18, 2013


Dangerous heat scorches the Northeast


(CNN) -- Like many things in life, it's going to get worse before it gets better.

That lardy layer of humid, sticky heat oozing over the Northeast and Midwest is getting hotter and spreading out Thursday. But cooling rain will wash it away in some places in the evening.

The worst of it started out on the National Weather Service map as bright orange spots over parts of New England and Michigan earlier this week. The spots have grown nearly together like a bad rash, forming a seething blotch from Massachusetts to South Dakota.

Heat above 90 degrees will combine with roughly 100% humidity to make it feel like it's in the 100s.

How miserable does that feel? The "Daily Show" reporter John Oliver summed it up with a joke in a segment that aired Wednesday:

Some people could find no relief from the heat and took their complaints to social media.

"Melting. Way too hot in this place to sleep," tweeted Morgan Sable
from Ontario. You know it's hot, when it's too hot to sleep at night in Canada.

Twitter user @annielaa2 in Pennsylvania didn't have air conditioning Wednesday and turned a fan on herself and her cat.

"Getting hot air blown in your face really doesn't help," she tweeted.
From Toronto to Indianapolis, many people chose not to hide indoors in front of the air conditioner and opted for water instead, flocking to beaches, pools and fountains.

Kids in North Dakota doused each other in splash parks.

It was shades of things to come over the weekend in the northeast, the National Weather Service said.

The extreme heat is supposed to yield to severe thunderstorms.
