Dangerous Heat Wave Hits the Northeast

A sweltering heat wave is bearing down on a large swath of the U.S.—including The Catskills and Northeast Pennsylvania—creating potentially dangerous conditions.

Meteorologists say the stifling temperatures could break daily record highs and last throughout the week in what the National Weather Service has described as the first major heat wave of the summer.

Tim Bruno spoke with Mark Pellerito, a Warning Coordination Meteorologist for the National Weather Service in the Binghamton, New York Forecast Office, about the timing, impacts, and how to stay safe.
