It's only the first day of summer, but almost 35 million people are under heat advisories Tuesday as the second heat wave in as many weeks drags on.
In the Great Lakes area Tuesday, highs will be 15-25 degrees above normal, and California will see triple-digits on thermometers from Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley to Redding in the north.Over the next few days, the center of heat will shift over the South and Southeast, from Texas to Georgia, and numerous cities are likely to face triple-digit temperatures, including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville and Atlanta.
In anticipation, power companies across the Southeast say they are preparing for the additional strain that will come when droves of heat-stricken people retreat indoors for air conditioning relief. "This is our 'Super Bowl' that we prepare all year for," Tennessee Valley Authority spokesperson Scott Fiedler said in a statement to CNN."TVA is extremely well-positioned to meet power demand during this week's hot weather.
