Heat wave

A National Weather Service (NWS) announcement this week of a prolonged and dangerous heat wave has caused some postponements and delays in July Fourth weekend events in Middlesex County.

The NWS is predicting 100-degree temperatures and above on Saturday. The forecast states “the heatwave is forecast to hit a large area of the country from the U.S. east coast to central areas of the country. Starting (today) Thursday, July 2, about 250 million people will be exposed to some dangerous level of heat.”
