New England and the rest of the east coast are preparing for a dangerous heat wave this week.
A stagnant heat dome will bring uncomfortable heat and humidity starting on Wednesday.
Temperatures could climb into the upper 90s and low 100s by Thursday and Friday.
Forecasters say humidity could push heat index values to 105 to 110 degrees.
People are urged to take the heat seriously and move outdoor activities to early morning when possible.
